I live in a rural area a mile away from the nearest super fast broadband green box hub. I pay for super fast broadband but I can't get higher speeds than 15mbps.
My house is an old barn conversion with stone walls in parts, and brick stud walls inside.
Wifi coverage inside the house is patchy at best.
I am looking at two options. Smart hub with mesh system to even out the wifi coverage or 4g router receiving a signal from an antenna on the roof. I am currently trying the latter - but it doesn't work. The antenna receives a signal of at least 50mbps. It is relayed via a 5 metre cable to the router which sits behind a downstairs window. The highest Wifi speed we can get using this system is 5mbps. I don't understand the problem. I don't want to give up on the 4g / antenna system because my neighbours are using something similar, with 4g antennas , and they are enjoying download speeds of 50mbps at least.
Unless we can find a solution we will have to resort to the Smart Hub linking to the wired broadband which we hope will even out coverage using the mesh system but will have much lower and just about usable speeds.
Can anyone help?
Is it possible to connect the 4g antenna to a Smart Hub? Will a 4g router work with the mesh / satellite system?
