Hi all

We have a caravan and i only get 1 or 2 bars on my phone when trying to run a firestick. Will i get a better signal with mobile broadband router ?

Hi @Kopking1970,

I can see that @MymsMan gave some really helpful tips for you to get connected when with your caravan. Have you given any further consideration to using Three Broadband? Please let us know.

Thanks,
Michael

Touring or Static caravan?  If touring, 5G coverage is still patchy around the country but 4G in most areas.

Either way it will depend on the mobile signal where you are pitched but you might be able to get a stronger signal using an external hub mounted on a pole above your caravan roof than inside where you are essentialy inside a metal box acting as a Faraday cage!

In my house I only get 1/2 bar 4G signal on phone but can get 300+Mbps download on 5G broadband

With Three's 30 day return policy it could be worth a try

The faraday cage theory is surely dispelled because a caravan has windows where the signal can be received as if outside.That said I have a Huawei mobile dongle (4g only) obtained from Three and quite often I get better reception on it than on my phone. I’m speaking from experience but obviously can’t guarantee the same (sporadic) result.

a neighboor has a touring caravan with a pole that he assembles everytime he pitches. If I remember well he mentioned that he is with Three and he sounded happy with signal and DL/UL rates he gets. But he also mentioned that on occasions he had no coverage as he was a bit more "remote".

Luck of the draw I suppose!
