I have a question about feasibility of following scenario:
Have a trailer in the woods in very poor phone signal area, so I successfully installed phone signal booster inside and placed receiving antenna high outside. Now I get 4 bars inside.
Now would like to have good phone signal even when outside, but trailer has metal walls, which shield EM so currently I am not receiving any of that boosted signal outside trailer. So I would like to install 3 way signal splitter to booster output and 3 antennas - 1 inside as its been so far and 1 on each side of the trailer.
If this works and I already have phone coverage inside and outside using the 3 retransmitt antennas, I would like to use these same antenna for WiFi. The signal splitters are bi-directional, so they should work as mixers as well, so the 3 antennas should work for WiFi at the same time. GSM bands are not overlapping with WiFi, so these two devices should not be interfering with each other either.
I realize I will need splitters/mixers and antennas that work from 700Mhz through 2.5GHz and that new signal levels from the booster will be slightly lower as it will be shared by 3 antennas. I am only planning to use 2.4GHz WiFi.
Note: I am not sure how booster deals with feedback from output back to input, but ideally, booster receiving antenna should be directional and pointed to cell tower. This is not the case as booster came with omnidirectional stick type.
