    As a little footnote to this thread some months on, I ended up buying a 5G router and then adding a decent aerial to that, I’m on the edge of a 5G coverage area so the aerial helps boost things but the signal strength is still not ideal. Aerial is stood inside an upstairs window vaguely pointed in direction of signal source.

    That said and in my experience Smarty 5G is excellent (even considering I’m on the edge of coverage), basically it works perfectly and without issue, if you can get it do so, I would recommend it to anyone.
