    Do you mean signal booster / repeater OR router/modem antenna?

    Omni gives lower gain but can receive from more directions.

    Yagi has better gain because it's directed at a single signal source.

    Which bands does the repeater support?


    Compatibility of the repeater depends on whether it's 3G or 4G, urban or rural.

    3G bands: 900 and 2100MHz
    4G bands: 800 and 1800MHz

    Is the -93dBm reading from a phone?

    Yes an app on my phone gave me the reading, I'm thinking the repeater may be faulty as it get very hot.

    Do you have separation between the two antennas? If they're able to read each other stronger than the tower you'll get nothing.
