Strong 4g Signal - Poor Download Speeds
Hi Chalkychap - I did check coverage and status and both reported good/ok. The setup is for use in a static caravan I recently bought - so, I’ll be using it properly in the DN17 postcode area about 45 miles away from my current Wakefield testing area . I’ve already researched the coverage at DN17 and it’s very good, plus it’ll be less populated than Wakefield.
I’ll report back in the next couple of days and report the caravan performance. I’ve bought another manufacturer hub as well just to cover that base, which I’ll try if the current one is poor at DN17.
As a side point - my iPhone is BT mobile and that does 70mb download acting as a hotspot in exactly the same Wakefield location.
thanks Dave…
We have had plenty of posts recently about people using Smarty as a replacement for a replacement in static caravans - The likes of Strandloper MSF and I have answered many questions on such scenarios - The issue you are experiencing is because static caravans have metal sub frames, which act as a signal blocker.
Some people have had success fitting an antenna to the roof of their caravans. May be worth investigating this for your static caravan.
