I'm not getting as good of reception as I had hoped. Any suggestions? I'm in an area that shows I should have good coverage but one or two bars at the most. I'm using it in the living quarters of an aluminum skinned horse trailer and wondering if that might be the problem but thinking this is how rvs are constructed also?

I am in an area that "shows" good coverage but the service is not. That's actually pretty typical. Also, most RV are fiberglass so the aluminimum skin of your RV can have a drastic effect on the signal strength. Google "cell towers in this area" and find your closest one and put the device in that window.
I'm in the Eastern Sierra along Hwy 395 and have very poor AT&T internet. I've had to use my Verizon service here. The AT&T coverage map shows I'm camped right on the border of LTE and 4G coverage.
With my booster I have a signal strength of -79db, great signal but that doesn't matter much out here I guess.
Glad I have both Verizon and AT&T services just that Verizon is so darn expensive .... =(
