So I want to use my phone to run all the computers in the house.  The problem is if I am on the far side of the house the signal fades to pretty much useless.  What is the best product to us as an amplifier that is reasonably priced?  We are ditching comcast and want this running soon.

 

Thanks for any advice!

Depending on what device you have...... There is an option in the tethering settings to boost TX power ..... By default it is set to a moderate level to preserve battery life and to help aid in preventing unwanted users trying to connect to your hotspot ......

I have a Verizon Note 3.  I cant seem to find the option though.
