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?

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