The problem: Really crappy cell modem signal strength at a site in rural Virginia.
The solution (for now): About 1m2 of aluminum foil, made into a rough parabolic shape.
It ain’t pretty, until you look at the signal strength meter. -115dBm to -100dBm, which means the difference between being online or not. I’ll take it.

i kinda did that 3 years ago when i had no dsl. i had to get my signal from 6 miles away but got it to -85 dbm with the right setup
buy an outdoor antenna and put it on the 2nd story, signal problems will be almost gone then. or if you must be mobile indoors get a signal repeater. 1900mhz really sucks for indoor use.
Cut away those pesky trees you would do even better 🙂
All two or three miles of them? Wouldn’t even if I could.
