Phil Ambrose Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 I bought a signal booster off eBay, about £35-00, consists of an aerial and a interior mounted booster. I can now get a 3G signal inside the boat, where before there was none. You have to make sure you purchase one on the correct wavelength for your phone or WiFi unit.

bottle Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 By booster do you mean the ability to transmit further, stronger the wi-fi signal to your equipment or to receive a better, stronger (data/phone) signal to the Mi-Fi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulstoke1975 Posted February 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 EE Osprey 2 Mini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) EE Osprey 2 Mini Then a normal aerial will not be for you! They have no aerial sockets! I use an old USB EE dongle with a long enough USB cable stuck through the window light and tied to a broom handle clipped to the roof!

bottle Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 It'll cost you. You want something like this Amazon Make sure it is 4g (LTE) and not a 3g one. Then you will need one or two aerials Solwise Again make sure it is 4g (LTE) compatible Ensure you also get the correct connector. Aerial to Mi-Fi. or just move the Osprey to a better location so that the boat does not block the signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valrene9600 Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 EE[/size] [/size]Osprey 2 Mini[/size]I assume you hang it in window trying both sides.I have used osprey this way and rarely fail to get a signal. Are you static or moving around system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGoat Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Caution - The E5330 doesn't have an aerial socket and (?) it's not 4G IIRC it's the 5332 that has a TS9 socket. There are cheap - a tenner - diamond shaped external antennae that 'do' 3 and 4G with two TS9 plugs on that work with the E5776 MiFi router on eBay. Ive got one and 'it works for me' Whether or not you can get a signal through a boat window depends on where you are moored. i.e. what the signal strength is - and it varies a lot - even within a given area.

johnmck Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 I have found this Company to be very competitive in this field, buying direct cheaper than EBay, where they have a presence. http://www.supertrade-shop.co.uk/gb/ No connection other than as a satisfied customer.
