I have a Sprint AC595U card which gives maybe -100dB without any external antenna but delivers 1000kbps DL speeds. I purchased a yagi antenna & aimed it at the tower a few miles away & my signal is solidly in the low 80's now. Any broadband test I run shows my DL speeds at only 250k now with this far superior signal. As soon as I unhook the yagi, the speeds return to former glory. Any idea what might be happening? Is there anything I can do to get the solid signal with higher speeds?
