How to Boost a Clearwire Signal
Clearwire is a wireless broadband Internet service provider. It uses cell phone towers to allow you to connect to the Internet without the need for any wires or modems. Certain areas, especially rural areas, sometimes have problems with low signal strength, which can reduce connectivity. Also, certain areas in a home might have obstructions that reduce signal strength. You can boost your Clearwire signal strength with the addition of an easy-to-install antenna.
