Huawei E122 with 3 - Antenna recommendation?

    Have good coverage with this modem with 3, and with the help of a Dovado router (modem is upstairs, outside on the window cill, connected to the dovado inside) I get coverage throughout the house.
    No chance of getting DSL any time soon.

    I'd like to connect the modem to an aerial that I can leave on the cill outside - avoiding the need to put the modem in a freezer bag when it rains(!) - and having to take it in every night......

    I've seen a few on ebay that might do the job, any suggestions?

    It's pricey

    Also almost certainly overstates gain.

    Dr.Nick just out total curiosity, what kinda modem do you have? And why do you have it outside? I got an antenna but it's like a dish, in two minds about setting it up as my speeds are pretty good so I'm not exactly sure if I need the extra boost, plus it's big and ugly. The one you linked looked pretty decent though.

    My first post wasn't very clear, sorry. I have a 3 E122 dongle connected to a dovado router upstairs, the dongle needs to be outside to get decent signal but the connection is decent once it is.
    What I want to do is put a permanent antenna outside on the window so I don't have to be taking the dongle in and out all the time.

    Watty - if this isn't good value for what it does, can you recommend another one?
