Its a real old one. E5776. I suspect things have moved on since then, and there are much better offerings out there. I use it when on the other boat.

 

The narrowboat has a proper router, Teltonika Rut 955 connected to an external aerial. (Idea knicked off Dr Bob, other routers are available).

 

 

ETA.Someone mentioned the Whoarewe? B525 a few weeks back, which also looks good.Not cheap, but you must be minted being a boilerman. They also connected it to a standard telephone with a three sim to make use of the included minutes. It looked good to me.

Ok fanx.

 

Mine is a E5330, so if the model numbers are sequential, even older than yours!

 

The cheap smartphone actually does a perfectly good job, when it isn't hosing data around like it costs nothing, so will prolly stick with that. Can't even remember now why I first mentioned getting a Mifi thing!!

Make sure it is properly connected to the ecofan with the right size diode or the feedback becomes unstable after a few hours running.
