Nighthawk MR1100 I would like to get more bars on my router.

I am getting two bars on my router but I live in a rural area and I need to know if there is something available to help me get a better signal.

    Hi eodbob, 

     

    If the signal strength LED show only few bars, the mobile router's reception is poor. Try moving it to a location with a clear view of the sky (for example, near a window). If the reception does not improve, consider purchasing an external antenna
