It’s a bit more money but consider this;

Takes a 12v supply, always on and give good stable Wi-Fi just as you would get at home.


This mifi things are handy but can be a bit flakey at times.

Timely. I ran out of internet yesterday, FLAC files are quite big :oops: , and my data sim supplier, RWG mobile, are a bit slow at applying and bundles. TBF to them I get what I pay for. So I opted for a slightly larger EE allowance on my main phone and will talk to them in a shop about 4G routers, external aerials etc when I'm next on the big island.
