Which best mifi Router with EE sim to ensure cctv cameras don’t lose connection?

mgnchungles53 — Sun, 07 Apr 2024 23:00:51 GMT

Good evening all !
I have recently had problems with my cctv cameras ( Blink ones ) going offline due to internet dropping out. I have a TP Link with EE unlimited data sim …. Any suggestions ?

I was thinking of getting an EE white mifi box , putting in existing sim then connecting to a better quality TP router ?
currently using TP link for 4G/5G

thinking of purchasing both a higher spec TP link router as well as the EE mifi

@mgnchungles53 : You probably need to temporarily switch the mobile router to the 2.4 GHz WiFi band only. These smart home devices often can't do 5 GHz.

TP-Link's are usually pretty good.

Why would you want to put 2 routers in series, resulting in a double NAT?

Hi Thank you for your prompt reply ! I need a router which resets itself remotely or that I can reset remotely as I can’t always get to the location as regularly as I would like ( caravan ) ! I use the EE unlimited sim in the TP Link but cctv cameras seem to be dropping out twice a week now and the TP link doesn’t reset remotely now so it’s frustrating . The blink camera set up works fine as long as it has a good internet signal. I already using a TP link booster for the WiFi signal as well half way between one camera ( furthest away from blink sync unit and router ) ! Any other solutions ?

I am using the lower GHz frequency and have always used it since installing it.
