Does anyone know what to use as a range extender for this Huawei modem? This signal doesn't reach around my house and I need to extend it. I have a D-Link ADSL router, but I'm assuming that can't be used?

It can be used assuming its a wifi router. You need to turn off dhcp on the adsl router and connect it to your LTE router with an ethernet cable. Also change the adsl router's ip address to be similar to the LTE router(same subnet).

Make not mistake, at R599 a month for 24 months, with router, external antenna and installation all included, with speeds of 30mbps-80mbps on an uncapped account, this is a GREAT deal!!

Got mine 2 days ago. Got home late, put the sim in and it was working in 5 minutes. Maybe power the device off and on every few minutes.

Haha yeah I'm sure I'm already far past 1 GB in speedtests.

Installing the Poynting antenna is going to be a weekend project on its own, and I have no idea where the nearest base station is. So far I've been getting download speeds of 3.5 - 4.5 MB/s (28 - 36 Mbps) through real debrid, which is pretty good.

I only miss the latencies. Last year I was on a 10 Mbps uncapped ADSL line, playing BF4 overseas with a 180-190 ms ping, now it's in the range of 240-250, but that's what you would expect with a wireless service like this.
