Will the Furrion Access WiFi Router Boost Signal Strength from a Cellular Hotspot

Updated 08/06/2019 | Published 08/04/2019

Question:

We just stayed at a trailer park that has no WIFI access, and our US cellular service 4G galaxy S8 phone could not pick up our hot spot or more than 2g and 1 bar on phone. Will this new router help out on pulling in service along with better TV reception. We are currently working on getting the furrion router but will be a week or so. Will this router help pull in better tv and pone service??

The Furrion Access WiFi Router/Booster part # FAN17B8B would do a much better job of transmitting signal to your other devices when compared to using the hotspot feature on your cellphone. However, you must purchase a data plan for the device as it would not work to boost the signal from your cellphone while being used as a hotspot according to Furrion. To extend the reach of your signal you can also add the Omnidirectional Rooftop Antenna for Furrion Access Router part # FAN73B7C but this is more for range than speed.
