We are on a campsite just outside Pamplona. My 3 mifi was connecting to Yoigo which was rubbish to say the least.
I noticed when i lost the Yoigo connection the mifi went to Movistar which was superb! But as soon as it saw Yoigo it switched back.
My two braincells which were in residence at the time collided and i thought take mifi out of the window and sit it on gear lever gaiter and it will not see weak Yoigo signal. It worked it is now fixed on Movistar which gives me a full 5 bar signal!

Look for a setting that says something like Carrier .... then turn off Automatic and pick the one that you want from the list that pops up.

I'm going from memory on a 3 dongle I had years ago, sorry not to be of more help.

Perhaps,if you post the model of mifi someone may be able to g]help further

I have been caravanning for 32 years but in 2014 I have"gone over to the dark side"

Agreed everywhere else in Spain it has been good. Being fair we are in a valley with hills on all sides.
