Router for Low Cell Signal Rural Mountainous Areas

[TC_Z]

We recently camped in the mountains of Alabama at Desoto SP. We had spotty cell signal.

When we got back I called Verizon to confirm they could activate a T1114 router, activation fee was $35 and a $10/mon fee. All is good.

So I bought a Verizon Novatel T1114, an Antenna Gear M39 and a painters pole to put it up in the air. Once delivered ****, I called Verizon to activate it and they reneged and would not activate the T1114 despite their previous commitment. They claim it is no longer supported by their system. That's bunk, my brother has a T1114 and they are continuing to support his.

Regardless, I now must return my T1114 and try to get reimbursed. This despite making sure it was legit, and must buy another router for rural low signal areas, just for Verizon 4G WiFi, no voice needed. My antenna I bought has SMA connectors.

Any suggestions for a good router that has SMA antenna connections, that Verizon will activate?

Thanks

Why not buy the unit you need from Verizon. I work with one years ago and they would not work with anyone who did not get there phone equipment from them. I think you will found in the mountains, that if your phone will not work neither will any other phone equipment. We have several dead spot around here in the mountains. good luck
