Netgear Wireless internet IFWA-40

AT&T is recommending that I purchase a Netgear Wireless Internet Model IFWA-40 unit to improve my service.  I currently have a Hotspot that I use for internet service and a wireless home phone.  Neither work most of the time.  The Hotspot blinks Red and Green and it is ver slow.  The wireless home phone signal is either red or orange and if I am able to make or receive  a call I usually get knocked off.  What I am wondering will this improve my service or should I consider something else?

  • If your att mobile hotspot has bad coverage and so does your phones (do they?), a different device isn't suddenly going to give you better coverage. 

    You need a better signal from att whether that be them adding a tower (doubtful), you putting up a signal booster somewhere, or even adding an antenna at a high point to get coverage. Your service is only going to be as good as the signal ATT about to get to you.

      Thanks, Looks like I would be better changing to a cable company instead of the wireless. Thanks again.
