hi everyone, i don't know if this is the right place to ask this question so sorry in advance, the thing is i bought a year ago a 4g wifi router snice there is no dsl or fibre connection in rural areas but i have been suffering from the slow internet connection specially if it's cloudy, raining or there is a massive users pressure, but i've heard lately about some type of antennas designed for this type of router to support them and help boosting the signal waves, there are none in my area and i have no choice but to purchase one from ebay but i didn't do it yet cuz i want your help guys in finding the best antenna that suits me. the device name is soyealink with two antenna ports from behind. THANK YOU!!

Out of curiosity, who do you use to provide internet?

I'm not too familiar with wifi routers, but I've been using my phone exclusively for internet for the past 2 years.

It's possible you're just with a company that doesn't provide good service. I use Visible for $25/month and it gives me access to Verizon's network with unlimited data and no throttling, provided there's no congestion (which there pretty much never is.)
