Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Antenna for Sierra hotspot device

Is there an antenna/boost that I can get to help getting a signal with my sierra hotspot device?

If you're refering to Sprint's Overdrive made by Sierra then no... there's no antenna port for a hard wired antenna.  Several companies do however make signal boosters that enhance the signal strength around the amplifier.  Hopefully others that are more tech-savvy than me will comment on the topic.

Either a cradle with an amp and antenna or a complete "area" wireless amp is what you need, if you need to boost your signal.

Is this going to be for 3G service, or 4G service? We don't offer anything for 4G WiMAX yet, but the Wilson Sleek is a pretty popular low cost option to boost 3G reception - http://3gstore.com/sleek
