Re: I need a decent 4G modem/router with external aerial

So I went for the Huawei B818, as it has good reviews, and with a fair wind and decent provision by the carrier can deliver stupidly fast 4G.

We are in a very marginal signal area so placement is key. I’m probably going to put up an external antenna, but for the time being it is sitting next to an upstairs window.

Our BT ADSL gives us 4 down, 0.5 up.
The BT 4G mini hub, stuck to a downstairs window, gives 15 down, 4 up.
The Huawei, on EE 4G and sitting next to an upstairs window has just delivered this:



The WiFi coverage from the B818 is absolutely superb as well. I got that Speedtest on an iPad several rooms away from the router.

Needless to say I’m a very happy bunny right now.
