Hi,
I have just got my EE 4G smart hub (MOBILE broadband) as I live in a rural area so fixed broadband is awful.
I am getting good speeds when my device(s) are near the router, but, the WiFi coverage over my home is pretty bad - I live in a moderate sized house, standard construction (stud walls), two floors and I've put the router on a window sill (tried upstairs and downstairs with the same results). If the router is upstairs and I go downstairs, the WiFi is rubbish and vice-versa.
I have checked external mobile coverage and it is excellent in my postcode area.
So, any ideas on how I can boost the WiFi inside - I have been told by EE and read that boosters cannot be used with mobile broadband, so I am a bit foxed.
We don't use many devices - a couple of lap tops, two mobile phones, the TV and our radiators are controlled via WiFi - we don't game, stream HD or anything like that - just need to have decent coverage throughout the house.
Any ideas thankfully accepted!

@LHayes67 Have a look at this previous OP post, do not know anything much about mobile routers but you could always as the OP how it went.
