So don’t start by looking at deals, start by thoroughly researching your local signal environment. You’re going to be placing a modem/router wherever the best 4G signal is in your house, and if you’re stuck with universally meh service from all providers you’re going to be adding an external antenna whose flylead must not be more than 5 metres long.
If you’re up for it I can probably answer most of your questions but I’m off out just now - happy to post more later if you want. |
Thanks Chris, yeah, some advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm currently looking at some router reviews and also coverage quality for various networks. I'll no doubt have some questions for you!
