WiFi Boosters

We sold our iboost, too much hassle to get it out and set up each time then put away again next morning so we just use a mifi for 4G connection if the site wifi is either weak or no signal.  You could just use your phone to tether to if you have enough data allowance if not some good data only deals out there for a sim,

I looked at all the options some while back and everything seemed to have a drawback.

In the end I settled for tethering to my phone which involved buying no extra equipment and the 4G network seems to perform better than most Wi-fi systems (site or otherwise) in my experience. 

I have a Solwise system and I tend to agree with Michael that they are a lot of hassle to set up. Since I purchased the Solwise, a few years ago, I changed my phone to use 4G and I have  found that far easier to set up as a WiFi point. OK you can't guarantee to always get a 4G signal but probably in 90/95% of the time I can in this country. Currently you can use your phone in Europe using your UK data allowance, whether that continues into the future we will have to see since our exit from the EU. It seems inconceivable that telecoms will try and go back the previous charging regime?

i agree with all the above posters, with the really good 4/5g signal all over europe, i sorted a deal with a decent data volume and this runs my phone and two tethered ipads....we rarely bother with site wifi.

I've had an iboost for 9 years now and I'll agree with above posts, it's a chore to set up for the odd night. It's a good set up however when I'm working on site for months, it makes an average unsecured site wifi average and secure! We also use our phone for tethering as we have sacks of data!

Hi

I have had a Suma set up for about seven years now and works really well but is a bit of a faff to set up but i need a good signal for my IPTV dodgy box to watch TV, so if you consider the cost of a satellite system against a good wifi booster no competition really.

I also used my system to watch TV on site for over two months in Jan/Feb this year and it never failed once good strength signal at all times.

JK tut tut tut

I suppose it's alright when you work in auld London Taahn Phil! Consider us country folk down west with corroded copper wires!

Are these WiFi boosters being used for watching TV etc on sites using the same small bandwidth that is found on most club sites? and therefore slowing the site system that results in so many complaints about the systems?

Just asking or am i barking up the wrong tree

Barking, anyway🤨

To come on here you have to be ,and thick skinned

but do you know the answer?
