Using a 4G EE WIFI MINI EE71 on a canal boat. Need better signal

masternige — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 15:42:02 GMT

Hi,

So I live on a canal boat and I have a 4G EE WIFI MINI EE71

If I get a little bit of cloud I'm lucky to get a signal at all. its infuriating at times when I want internet to use PC In fact even on a good day the signal is not that great. Is there a better device EE have that will help me get a better signal?

Any help on this appreciated.

Thanks

It sounds awfully like you're on the very edge of usable coverage.

Hi @masternige

Are you permanently moored as if so check your local network coverage:
