WiMAX is, as of 2011, a relatively new type of wireless Internet service that uses 4G technology to connect your computer to the Internet, and tends to be spotty due to the lack of coverage. The 4G connection relies on a clear area in order to receive a signal, and tends to suffer from slow speeds when used in areas that inhibit a clear connection, such as garden apartments, as well as interference from nearby electronic devices that reduces the signal’s clarity. Boosting your WiMAX signal requires trial and error through testing the best area of your home to receive a signal, according to the ClearWire site, as coverage is constantly being updated in the area.
