Hello all.. please redirect me if this is in the wrong place? I'm new to this forum.
I live on a farm, and consequently don't have a hope of cable broadband. The copper wire coming to the house is ancient and i'm about a mile from the cabinet, over fields and poles etc. Usually around twice a year the cable breaks through squirrels or weather.
I have broadband, but its not fantastic. My kids are now starting school and we need more bandwidth asap. Who knew online homework was a thing, let alone gaming
My property is old and the walls are thick.. and no ISP provided router will do the job sufficiently.
We also have IPCCTV cameras due to the location.
I purchased an ASUS RT-AC5300 to run everything, which is performing well. Its easy to set up and user friendly, I have no issues with it thus far.
I would like to improve my speeds by moving off the copper wire onto a 4G (then 5G) sim based option. My router will accept a 4G connection, presumably via a dongle on the back.
I'm line of sight (about 1 mile) to the nearest mast, and so i'm looking for advice on how best to set this up?
I've spoken to Three mobile. They have offered me an unlimited data plan SIM for £10 per month..
I just need to work out how to make my router talk to the mast in the best way.
any advice would be appreciated
thanks
