AC Question

I live in a rural area and can only get minimal reception indoors, and then only if I stand by a window. I am looking for a repeater that will use an outdoor antenna, amplifier, and indoor antenna to bring the signal indoors. It will need to work with the Project-fi partners - t-mobile and Sprint. I am using Nexus 6p for voice and data and tether for my laptop.
 
I don't think there is a booster that works for both T-Mobile & Sprint unfortunately. Do you have wifi at home?
 
No - we cannot get dsl or cable out here in the country. That is the main reason we want to use the google phones to tether for our laptop. I know that T-Mobile has a Nextivity repeater that is available and I am trying to get Google support to provide or recommend the same for their service. I am sure that there should be a way to identify which carrier is dominate in my area to see which repeater should work here.
 
Are you using Project Fi as your wireless carrier? Keep in mind that even though you are using Project Fi, you are actually using either a T-Mobile or Sprint signal. You need to determine which signal you're actually connected to at your location. I use the T-M 4G LTE signal booster and it works very well. Where I didn't have a signal before, I now have a "five bar" cellular signal. I am using a T-M SIM in my N6P and a US Mobile SIM in my N5. US Mobile is an MVNO using the T-M network, just like Google's Project Fi.
