Extend 4g and 5g

We have a home in a holiday park and where our home is situated, 4g and 5g is not very good, <30mbit. At the entrance of the park, approx 200 meters/218 yards 5g is 200mbit and higher. Is there any way, perhaps with the nighthawk pro or any other device to pick up a better signal?

External antennas may help in your case.  Assuming your device has that capability.

Thanks. Was thinking of buying the nighthawk 6 pro and from what I see that device has that capability. What I did notice is that the nighthawks are not waterproof so hanging it on my roof will not work. Any idea if the antennes are waterproof?

The Nighthawk M6 Pro has two TS-9 antenna ports that you can plug into.  They're located on the outside of the device, on same side as the USB-C and ethernet port.  You can pick up a 2x2 MIMO antenna in a lot of places.  Good ones are not cheap but what is when it comes to hotspots
