Re: 4G speeds atrocious no phone signal either..
I think I need your genius title. I have a little plastic box that my hamster lives in, and the MiFi goes in it perfectly. So it's covered from the rain, and the power bank is in a plastic bag with the handles facing down, so it's totally waterproof...11KViews0likes4CommentsRe: 4G speeds atrocious no phone signal either..
There's an app that allows you to log on to it. It tells you the connection (3G, 4G, 4G+), and if it supports 5G, which it doesn't, it will say so on the app on main screen, only problem is the battery doesnt last long well 2hrs or so not fully tested it yet. But late last night in the hom struggled with it getting signal so back outside it went..11KViews0likes2CommentsRe: 4G speeds atrocious no phone signal either..
Soooo, I thought I would uodate those interested on the outcome of todays experiment. I today, purchased a three mobile 4g+ hotspot fron cex, it was second hand and it was £20 cheap. So, today I charged it up, out the simcard from my phone into the mobile hitspot device and its sitting on the back of a wooden support bar on the back of my wooden fence door, whixh is wedfed with a rock to sfop the wind blowing it and resultinf it falling on the floor and shattering into pieces. The result is positive. I have now 4g signal in my home with at least 53 Mbps, and 10 Mbps upload speeds. How the hell this works I dont know, because this device is powered of a small battery like the old nokia batteries. Its sending a wireless or wifi signal out and is going through 3 walls. So it appears that wifi is stronger than 5g signal maybe but heg, it works.. So yeah cheers for the support...11KViews0likes4CommentsRe: 4G speeds atrocious no phone signal either..
The modem is a very small box. It's used for SIM cards and runs off USB. I have a 20,000w portable power bank, and I can plug it into that. As for the rain, a thin plastic bag tied up would suffice. These are the extremes we have to go through to get something. It's not quite on the windowsill either; it's three steps beyond that behind a fence door where it all happens. This is going to be tricky... But there has to be a way, and at a low cost just havent found the answer yet..11KViews0likes0CommentsRe: 4G speeds atrocious no phone signal either..
Just a bizarre update. I went outside by the kitchen window and opened the side gate leading to my enclosed mini garden, and it downloaded at 177 Mbps, with 4 Mbps uploads. Now if only I could get that signal inside without incurring high costs...22KViews0likes12Comments
