Wifi antenna conflict with cellular antenna?
I have a Wifi antenna on a 5' PVC pole I use to increase the wifi strength when in a park. I recently purchased a cellular booster to increase the cellular signal when in a park.
My question is: can i put the cellular booster antenna on the same pole as the Wifi booster, or would the 'signals' conflict with each other?
Thanks

should not interfere, but I would take a step ladder along so you can remount somewhere else IF you find that you have to...

They are supposed to not conflict. That said, if i turn on my WiFi Ranger my television reception on OTA stations gets a lot weaker so “supposed to” is not always the case, you won’t know for sure until you try it.

On a Mofi router they are about 3” apart.

The. Frequency is way different. So probably not a problem.
The only time it may be an issue is if one of "transmitter circuits is overdriving the other receiver circuit due to close proximity of antennas.
It's all "FM"....F*******g Magic ��

LTE band 40 is 2300-2400, Router channel 1 is 2401.

Well my handy dandy frequency chart missed that.
Back to the drawing board. :-)

It is all about digital frequencies using a master oscillator and PLL this has changed radio frequencies as we once knew them. Remember the first cell phones were analog and they were running out of frequencies for the fast growing device, people were listening to cell conversations with a scanner, that was fun.
Now digital so you can here nothing on those cell frequencies. Cell towers now use a host of frequencies some for talking some for internet and they are divided by time and codes.
No more galena chrystal with a cat whisker.
I remember my first one. Fun listening to radio without plugging it in. Now that was power conservation, but the public did not care about how much power they used in those days, just pour on the coal as the saying went.

When I was a kid on the farm I built a "crystal radio" that kind of sucked. Could never find the right spot for the "cat's whisker". My uncle was the engineer for a local Radio/TV station and he gave me a 1N34 diode. Worked great and no more "fiddling".
I found that the barbed wire fence that ran around our pasture made a great antenna.

Do cell and WiFi boosters make good lightning rods? I often wondered about my cell booster acting as one.

It screws on the antenna connector on back of TV. It should filter out the interference.

When FM doesn’t work use AM, Alternate Methods.

Any conductor that's higher than surrounding objects is a good lightning rod.
