Mifi router recommendation
We currently use a dlink pocket rocket router, 150/50 speed which is fine in reality as we dont stream much, but it's a battery unit and I'd like a mains powered one instead ( and maybe 300/50)
Anyone got any experience of said items, or a preference!
We live out in the sticks so although we have had a FO wire draped over the telephone lines, unlikely there to be a connection for a year or so.
Adsl here spent more time off than on, so it was galling paying good money for a piss poor service. We get 100gb for €10, which suits us just fine!

I've had good results with a TP-Link Archer MR200. Few years ago now, so there's probably something better available.

If you mean a 4G MiFi type router then the Huawei ones are good, not sure on current models, but the older ones we have at work are very good, but it probably helps that I work for the same group as Three so we get a lot of support from Huawei.

Huawei seem to be the market leaders.

Bouygues do a 4G box - not sure if you can get Bouygues there but some friends have just bought a load for their chalets and say they are faster than the wifi they were getting in previous seasons from Orange!

Re: Mifi router recommendation
I use a TP Link 4g+ router which is good and fast and I like that it’s easy to set up and manage from the TP Link app on my phone. Also have a cheaply Huawei one which is slower but also works well.

We use EA660s at work, but I don't think these are available anymore, I don't know if they were available to the public ever. The pocket hubs work well, we used those for a while, Three pretty much give them away with a Sim cardDemannu wrote: ↑Wed Nov 10, 2021 6:27 pmAny idea on model numbers.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Wed Nov 10, 2021 3:18 pm If you mean a 4G MiFi type router then the Huawei ones are good, not sure on current models, but the older ones we have at work are very good, but it probably helps that I work for the same group as Three so we get a lot of support from Huawei.

Holy thread ressurection!
Bought an AI cube a while back but this is the first chance to use it at home.
A nice and powerful unit, broadcasting from high upstairs out into the garden at a nice 300mbs.
Just d/l Picard ep6 in @5 mins and streamed killing eve off the iPlayer.
Might d/l some classic American comedy, happy days!
