RAvirani Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 According to reports, well enough. Soon. And how's it's range? Does the LTE go very far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilotimz Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 And how's it's range? Does the LTE go very far? According to reports, whole house coverage. Personally I run a magical box which works extremely well as long as it doesn't hook up to b25. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notsrealinc Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 OMG, I want both of these! I hope they are free like the AirAves are or at least inexpensive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imex99 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 One is an lte relay (from ur local b41/b25 macro) and the other is an airave that uses ur home internet to broadcast 3G, lte and wifi. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paynefanbro Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 what's the difference between the 2 devices? It seems like one is an LTE signal booster and the other is an LTE femtocell that produces it's own signal using your home internet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilotimz Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 what's the difference between the 2 devices?Airave 3 needs a copper ethernet connection for backhaul. Magic box (lte + booster) only requires a B25/41 connection present so that it can use LTE relay for backhaul.

derrph Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I use to pick up a steady b41 connection now I mainly get 25/26 and a now cell edge 41 (120+ on signal).

Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk I know a few weeks ago I was on a call with Sprint dealing with my data issue and a rep offered a airave to me and I said no thinking it was like the one I had back in 2010 because I had issues with calling. So thinking back it was probably the Airave 3 the rep was referring it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanm1978 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I think I'll just stick to my current Airave 2.5... Chances are, the Airave 3 with LTE requires a certain amount of bandwidth (like at the least, a 25mbps down / 5mbps up connection)... I doubt VERY seriously I could get very much LTE use with the new one, as AT&T only gives me 5.9mbps down / 0.5kbps up.. (yeah, KBPS)... That upload is the killer. If I'm trying to PS4 game with R6 Siege and someone starts streaming amazon music, it kicks me out of my game...that's crappy. And I'm sure AT&T isn't in any hurry to get us better internet speeds around here. They enjoy ripping me for those extra 2 or 3 data packs they slap on me each month at $10 per 50gbs... I'm so disgusted with that company...I can't put enough adjectives together to express what I wish would happen to them... I do appreciate having 2 separate 24 pair fiber lines under my driveway...it's good to know that I can see the DSLAM that provides us all this crappy connection while standing in my yard (it's only about 100' away from my house). I guess if the Fed ever regulates anything like internet, maybe they'll use G.Fast or something to give us better speeds -- and maybe even a competitive price. But we're not even 6 months into 2017 and AT&T has jacked my DSL up twice since January. $1 as of Feb 1st and $2 as of May 1st. I'm at $61 now. 8 years ago it was $47.95 for naked DSL.... /rant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_dog007 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Wonder if it will be as simple as asking for one? It was that simple for the AirWave 2.5 and Asus Router. Just ask and I shall receive! Don't really need it at all. Would love it for the 2.5GHz. What kind of range does it have? I wouldn't mind being my neighborhoods little B41 microcell, lol. I got 1Gbps backhaul and the local tower doesn't have B41 yet. Area is growing up and needs it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
