Hi All, newbie here looking for help.
We currently have wireless broadband in Northern Ireland and due to speed (10mb when working) and connection issues we are looking to swap out the system to a 4g setup.
We have a main connection on-site to a family business and then access points in 2nr houses on-site that receive a signal from the business.
I believe that the antenna that receives the signal will need changed as wireless broadband and 4g are both different. Can I use the existing access point (Ubiquiti) that are installed on both houses?
I am told that we might need to get a couple of sims and routers but we use internet in the evenings, its used in the business during the day and an elderly relative lives in the other house, so internet use is minimal.
Is there a way to check the best service provider for speed? I get approx 5-6mb download on a 4g 02 service on my phone, but have been told if we install an external antenna we can increase this greatly, up to 30mb at least. I have used some of the online coverage checkers, it would seem that EE or Vodafone are best for 4g in the area.
To install a new 4g router is it as easy as changing out the existing router, installing a 4g outdoor antenna and connecting to distribute signal to access points?
Any further help would be appreciated..
Many Thanks, Gary
