Anything such as a affordable 4G/LTE Cell repeater? Say $200 max, or going to cost an arm and two legs?
 
For the house or a vehicle.

    Probably would be great to know for which service you are looking to have it for. I have a 3G repeater but that is for AT&T.

    I don't recall AT&T selling a 4G/LTE repeater like the 3G one I have.
     
    Just for informational sake, my Sony Xperia Ion LTE works perfectly fine with my 3G micro cell without any issues. It won't do the 4G/LTE communications natively but I haven't had any issues with reception using this in my house.

    I saw those on that site there. Not sure if I've ever seen a decent, compact one like the micro cell I have here unfortunately.

    I have a network extender from Verizon.  Is that what you are talking about?  It is only 3G but it is better than nothing if you have a weak signal in your area.  I have bought two refurbished ones for $100 each.  Saved me about $150.  You have to call and ask for it since they are not listed on the website. 
    Other than that, I don't know what to tell you.
     
    Good luck.

    New ones cost from $300, to most around $400, to better ones for $600, and the sky is the limit.  A couple of sources:

    It depends on your situation.  See the product info page:
     

    (Use this repeater if) You only need to cover a small area inside
    The DT4G is designed to cover a small inside area. Depending on where you mount the outside antenna and the strength of your existing signal, it may be possible to get up to 2,500 sq ft of coverage from the DT4G. However, most installations will only cover one or two small rooms with a boosted signal.
     
    Coverage Area
    Many variables impact the total coverage area of a signal booster system. The following are estimates only and may not be accurate in any individual situation.
    •If you have an existing strong 5-bar outside signal, you may get up to 2,500 sq ft of coverage inside**
    •If you have an existing 3 to 4-bar (-90 dB) outside signal, you may get up to 1,500 sq ft of coverage inside**
    •If you have an existing 1 to 2-bar (-100 dB) outside signal, you may get up to 150 sq ft of coverage inside**

     
    If you have strong signal (but, if you did, why the repeater?) it might be OK, but coverage is very limited when the outside signal is weaker.

    That is pretty nifty.  I wonder if I can get the people in my bldg to kick in for and MA-700LTE-H.  @ 344, if I can get 10 people to kick in we only have to pitch in $34 each.

    Man, I got all excited when I saw this but sadly, my cell phone doesn't offer this feature. That would have been perfect for me.

    Back from the died thread!

    A cell repeater is just going to do better. WiFi don't do **** in the mountains.

    Some nice boosters for $400 nice. Can you use a whip antenna ?

    Specify your specifications clearly for getting better suggestions. It may depend on your requirement on repeaters.
