Moving the mobile broadband about to different locations last week to try and get some decent reliable connection.

I’m not quite sure it’s IP66 waterproof but it will be interesting to see if it survives tonight 🤔

Very little wind overnight, we’re sheltered from the south which is where all the recent storms have come from.

The outdoor broadband has worked well. Getting fairly steady 8-12mb down now rather than 1-2 which was consistently disconnecting.

Just need to sort a waterproof box now.

could you get an external aerial and keep the modem indoors?

Brian's plan is actually the best assuming he can protect it from the elements. The shorter the leads on the antenna the better as a lot of signal is lost in the cables.

Tried it and couldn’t get anything.

It’s a compromise no doubt
Currently the router is adjacent to the front door where the WiFi is then picked up by a repeater throughout the house.

Like you say.
Keeping damp out will be the challenge now.

Only if you buy sh1te on amazon or ebay or accept crap that's available here. Nothing more than 2 untuned bits of tin foil in a plastic box with crap Chinese coaxial cable.

We imported high gain receiving aerials with low loss cables. No comparison.

The shortest possible antenna cable should always be used, even your low loss cable has signal loss, which increases with the length of the cable. Look at any fixed wireless provider they always put their receiving equipment up a pole usually integrated with the antenna.

How are you providing power to the router? If its a cable coming form the house you'd be better off running an ethernet cable to an access point instead of using a WiFi repeater. You could use the ethernet cable to power your router also with some passive POE injectors.

There are of course external routers available also.

Put down some parsley earlier in the year so me father said I'll get two cauliflowers to make some parsley sauce to go with it. He comes in to me with the parsley and saucepan and asks me can I make it. I said i thought you were making it. Anyway I was in the middle of doing something so he start giving out about the wasting good parsley. Went up to get a coffee and the parsley is boiling away in the pot with the cauliflowers. When I looked at him he said it's good for you I'm not throwing that out.

Dawns on me that we are as rough as a bag of cats.

I’m getting the same speed from the extended as they router has so no loss. Ethernet cable would be difficult to run considering where my power is coming from.

I honestly don't know whether to laugh or cry.

More than 80 people, including the Agriculture Minister, senators and TDs attended a golf function in a hotel in breach of public health guidelines just a day after the Government announced new lockdown measures to stop the spread of Covid-19.

I'd say Barry Cowen will get a good laugh out of that. Everyone else being expected to follow the guidelines and these clowns off at a golf doo flouting the restrictions. Hope the whingy fcker gets the boot.

Hold on now, he was driving on a provisional licence which he shouldn't have been doing. Bad and all as the drink driving was he never said why he was still on at provisional licence at nearly 50 years of age

Couples have cancelled weddings because the numbers were reduced to 50 for indoor gatherings. He said he made a mistake, ffs he knew what he was doing and hoped he would get away with it.

He is a Minister in the Government that have issued strict guidelines on social gatherings and he gave choose to ignore them. That is not a good example for any TD or Minister to make. Why should the rest of us adhere to them.

As much as this lot needs a really good kick up the arse - I dislike the nearly now standard trial by social media beloved of certain factions....
