Three repeater booster

    I currently use a Three Mifi to receive Three broadband. I have it located by a window & the signal strength is good. However, as expected from Three, my speeds vary enormously & I often have to switch the Mifi off & on to re-establish the connection.

    I have seen a few Three booster/repeaters for sale presumably from the nbs scheme. Would one of these increase the quality of my connection ?

    IIRC, repeaters degrade your connection quite a bit.

    Are you using Three's Huawei 593s ? If you are, you can opt to use the Ethernet ports and network your house using powerline adapters.

    Is the Three's Huawei 593s worth gettings ? for a rural location again the 3 signal can be good and bad....

    Looks pointless to me. It's 4g - which probably won't arrive here in my lifetime :pac:

    It offer loads of connectivity which is a waste of time with my speeds.
