strachanmcgheegoal Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Help. Not a purchase yet but deserve a medal for not punching the little shit in pc world. apologies in advance to you techie types for my lack of understanding on what seems a fairly straightforward query. I have an unlimited data sim. I want to purchase a “router” into which the sim will go and make the 4G available to nearby devices to cover a blind spot. I’ve tried boosting and extending the phoneline sourced broadband but no joy. If anything it just destroys the parent broadband. all advice appreciated. Oh and prefer it’s mains power since it’s going to be home based 99.9% of the time. Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Cabling is plan B. Not easy but doable. Thought I’d at least investigate the easier option first (unless the router is silly money of course) given that I have the sim spare anyway. Link to comment

strachanmcgheegoal Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Powerline. That’s the true problem in that it’s the broadband coming in that’s shit. Link to comment

Does it work decent at source? Can you put a lan cable into your router fae a laptop and check the speed? Your phone line decent generally? Got fibre? Link to comment

strachanmcgheegoal Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 No fibre. And I’ve just had to switch from wifi to 4G on my phone to open your reply. Does that answer the question? Link to comment

Does that answer the question? Do you live miles fae the local exchange? My parents internet was fucking shit despite living fairly close to an exchange. Upgrading to Fibre fixed the problem. You get deals fae about £24 per month, it'd make more sense than buying a 4G router in my opinion as you will get a lot better speeds if it worked. If it never worked you would be entitled to cancel the contract due to not getting the advertised speed. Or just buy a 4G router like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/TL-MR6400-Unlocked-Configuration-Required-External/dp/B016ZWXYXG/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1181704C6TYEV&dchild=1&keywords=4g+wireless+router+with+sim+slot&qid=1620494459&sprefix=4G+Wireless+Router%2Caps%2C173&sr=8-3 but then you will still be paying monthly for the sim as well. There could also be a fault on your line but Open reach are absolute cunts to deal with I believe. Link to comment

styrofoamplates Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Bought some Pokemon cards on the advice of a poster on here. We're all making incredible profits thus far (in five weeks only) and one poster (who you all know) - who PM'ed me with some GREAT advice - showed me his portfolio since 2017 and he's in a phenomenal position. He has them all. Pikachu, Pakrora, Plum Princess, Mutant, Commando, Callaway Warbird, and a rare North East Fritzl. If only you had all jumped on board, which you were all invited to, then you could Pika Choo Choose Me! 4 1 Link to comment

daytripping Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I've been spraying the dandelions in the garden tonight, first chance I've had to look at the garden since I moved in. Slabs front and back but fucking weeds everywhere, don't think anyone has controlled them for years. One hand potential tree saver, other weed slayer. Don't like doing the latter, even weeds are living beings. Makes me look like a mink to not do it though, got to go. Link to comment
