I need some help please! We moor in a marina where we are provided with good Wi-Fi and where 4G is available. I would like to install a system capable of receiving both signals depending upon local factors but also upgrade to 5G. The idea of this would be to provide options (flexibility) when perhaps the 4G speed is less than satisfactory, usually at night. We do go cruising and found mobile phone tethering to be quite effective. However, the phone has to be held against the window, goes flat quickly and my other half cannot set it up on her own. We require something more permanent and substantial to replace what we have which is basically broken.
Maxview Roam 5g appears to offer what I need but the requirements for mounting the antenna on the roof cannot be easily met. It has to be on a flat surface and 30cms from other metal items. I wish to mount any aerial at the front of the boat where I have existing cable apertures I can use, but the roof surface there is neither flat nor is there the necessary clearance to prevent interference e.g. the metal hatch is close by! I was therefore thinking of a pole mounted aerial which of course needs to be collapsible.
Assuming I purchase separate items, what specific components do folks recommend I need to achieve my aim? e.g. router, aerial, mountings, cable etc. Price is not important, but the expensive Maxview system appears to me to be unworkable because of the mounting requirements. (Or is it?)
