I pointed this Amazon.com: Novatel Verizon 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot MiFi 451L External Yagi Antenna 18db 8mhz 85mhz 9mhz 18mhz 19mhz: Cell Phones & Accessories at the cell tower with it mounted on my TV antenna pole that sticks about 30ft above the house.

Mounted this Amazon.com: Proxicast 3G / 4G LTE 9 dBi Omni-Directional Fixed Mount Outdoor Fiberglass Antenna for Verizon, AT&T, Sprint . . .: Cell Phones & Accessories in a closet in the center of the house.

Connected both with this Amazon.com: MPD Digital 5 feet of LMR-4 Ultra Low Loss Coax Cable with N Male Connector Ends, Black: Times Microwave: Home Audio & Theater run through the attic.

We went from 1 bar of 1x signal to 4 bars of 4G anywhere in the house and 3 bars in the barn, 37ft from the house. I am 13 air miles from the tower with several tall hills in the way. I am on Verizon.

I think this is called a passive repeater.
