Mobile Hotspot

I live in an area where there is no internet access.  The only option I have is my cellular hotspot which works okay, but it is not strong enough to hold online courses.  I was considering the netgear nighthawk 1100 as recommended by someone in a similiar situation (blog on internet), but now I'm wondering if this is just a mobile hotspot, is this what I need for a stronger signal, or do i need a booster.  i'm not sure if that is different or if they even work. does anyone have any suggestions?

    hard part about it is that its usually an ISP coverage issue.

    If they've got great coverage where you are, a upgraded hotspot might help.

    If they've got poor coverage, a booster would be better. 

    So it depends on what coverage you have in your area. 

    Maybe check with different cellular providers to see which has the best coverage where you are.
