I've got an AT&T WF721 wireless phone base (a transceiver that converts a plain vanilla touch tone desk phone to wireless).
I bought it 2-1/2 years ago and it's been on a table next to a window in a 4 story apartment building. It's been working OK - until July of 2017. Since then, it's been giving an intermittent no signal indication (red antenna icon). However, if I take the transceiver out on the sidewalk in front of the building, it shows maximum signal strength so that tells me the problem is a severe loss of signal strength inside of the building.
Since it works OK outside, I suspect there may have been some changes in the building itself that's blocking the signal. I'm wondering if there's a way to extend the antenna to the outside of the building or a signal booster that could be placed inside my apartment?
I found this extension antenna (without an amplifier), but I need some advice before I shell out $20 for something that might not work.
