looking for g4 (g5) lte antenna preferably a directional one

i have a really crappy signal and in addition i nonstop connecting to a weaker and congested tower

 

all i can find are wifi antennas

which is the wrong frequency for my purpose as fare i know

wrong characteristics and not covering the hole required frequency range

 

3rd party antennas usually dont have TNC Male connectors and i would prefer not needing a bunch of adapters to get them connected but i am open to suggestions 

 

any suggestion appreciated

I suppose you are reffering to Cisco antennas? Where are you going to connect your antennas?  Which kind of device?

device is c1111-4plteea

by "when" you probably mean where preferably outside (otherwise always :D)

i have got some extensions for the current ones (4G-AE010-R Extension)

but couldnt find a position with a reasonable signal with it inside the house

so i would like to try an external directed one

 

also i have the feling that after repositioning the antenna its not enough to wait a few seconds 

to a change in signal strength but need to hard boot the device

(this may be provider specific as it keeps me on the current tower

although the new position could have a better signal on a different one

trying to position it by mowing it an inch to the left and wait 5-10 minutes for a reboot 

is impracticable so a directed one would be really preffered)

Also remember you can have signal loss on the extension cables so best to use special low loss extension cables otherwise you risk negating any benefit of the external antenna.
