Hi. Im renting a remote building where i can get 1 bar of 4g when I’m sat in the window. Is there a device i can purchase that i can put in the window to bring internet into the building please so i can use an iPad from it? Building has electric but no phone line

Thank you

If you don't want fixed Home BB installed there you could buy an EE mobile router from Pay Monthly Mobile Broadband

Lack of a phone line wouldn't prevent you having fixed Home BB installed.

Most smartphones have a hotspot facility. This enables the phone to connect to the mobile network over whatever "G" is available, and broadcast a WiFi hotspot. So any device in range of the "hotspot" can connect to it over WiFi, and use its mobile internet connection.

Hi @Moletrappa

Best using a PAYG SIM form other providers first to establish who provides the best coverage becase as you say EE coverage seems weak and this won't magically improve with mobile broadband.

Thanks
