Explain to me how a 'satellite' 20 million miles away from earth can send a signal so clear you can see a stone on the surface of a planet, but I can't get a reliable, strong signal from a tower 1 (one) mile from my home. It must be 'Lost in Space'! Unbelievable.

Maybe, Will Robinson can stop by and help you out. On a serious note, being 1 mile from the tower you should have great  service, even if you don’t get N41 you should have good service. I am about 3 to 4 miles from my tower and most of the time am getting around 200 Mbps down and 20+ up, the  past day I have been saw 455 down and 45 up (1 AM) and today at 11 AM I was 392 down and 30 up. I have found that if I reboot my gateway every night I get better speeds, I bought a programmable ex-cord with a battery back-up for about $16 on Amazon.Tried to find the N41 band. I get 2 bars most of the time on the secondary single (5G). I have the Nok 5G21.
