Re: Rogers RocketHUB and Yagi Antenna (or and 3G/LTE modem)

Actually I have the exact hookup that you are asking about. I have the Erikkson W35 Rocket Hub with a Wilson Yagi antenna kit attached to the roof above my office. At the time my signal strength was around 1 or 2 bars. When I plugged in the antenna, it shot up to a full 5 bars. Lately though, Rogers signal has improved to the point that I am pulling in 4 to 5 without the Yagi. At the same time the signal via the Yagi sank to zero to one. So my antenna now remains unattached. Obviously something happened to the Yagi (which looks fairly flimsy to begin with), but I am not going to bother to replace it.

Thanks for the feedback so far.
I have read that if water gets into the antenna you can lose the signal.

I am looking for Antenna recommendations...

I think it may be more serious than just water getting in. I have the feeling that the tiny drain hole in the bottom is allowing insects to enter and build nests inside. I could be wrong, but I am just guessing...
