Hi there - were off to France skiing for a week and then to south of France for 3 weeks more - to keep costs down we have a Huawei Mifi box and smarty sim plus a Poynting Duck antennae bolted to our solar panel bracket - lead goes thro skylight(before drilling thro roof again!). After extensive searching this was the best value setup and the reviews for each piece of equipment was really good.
We'll be back in april so i'll publish again to let people know how I've got on with it, cheers TC

You sound like you know what you are talking about

Ex-Royal Signals, and just retired after 34 years in the private Telecoms sector. Microwave LoS engineer by trade but went into management for the past 13 years running Field Engineering teams in both fixed and mobile technology.

From medical engineering myself, and also ended up in management. I let the young whipper snappers get on with the tech whilst I enjoyed myself with HR and Finance

Have you considered Starlink? https://www.starlink.com/

Looked for prices on Starlink - what I've seen says $90 to $120 per month - depending on whether there is limited or surplus capacity in a given area - is that correct Carpmart?
Not sure how much hardware is needed or its cost.

We use Starlink , I spend about 4 hours a day on Teams video confs. It worked solidly throughout Europe.

I have a Motor Home Wi-Fi 4G/5G unit and it has not worked since being fitted in October. I have both EE and Vodafone SIMs and the signal is too poor despite their claims of a 9 dB gain. Yet all my other devices work happily. They do not have a phone support line and you have to leave a message for them to phone you back on a nominated day. Only tried this once and they failed to phone back on the agreed day. I would not recommend this very expensive system.

Have a Netgear M2 about 9 different countries with it and only 1 place could we not pull a signal.
I stream Netflix 4K most of the time.

Another vote for the Netgear M2. My Burstner had the Motorhome Wifi kit installed on purchase. The Huawei router is however pretty poor, switched to Netgear M2 with a new Scosche Magic Mount for the router and a Mirco USB to USB C connector done in 10 mins. Same Vodafone and Smarty sims which we alternate based on signal at location but both now about 2.5 times faster on downloads after a few tests.

Will add I’d been wanting to do that for a few months of Huawei usage but the Netgear M2 is a bit pricey. However kept watch on Amazon Warehouse and picked up an open box one with a scratch on the router for less than a new M1. Amazon Warehouse always worth a check and if it doesn’t perform as you want send it back for full refund, no questions asked
