fishfoxey Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Hi based at Tingdene Brundall and struggle to get a decent WiFi signal to run a remote security camera, have asked the question on here re wifi boosters but it looks like best way to go is a separate mobile wifi unit. In which case is there anyone on here who currently uses a mobile device and gets a good signal in the marina.I am on 3 and its sketchy to say the least thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addicted Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 According to friends of ours who moor at Tingdene the wi-fi was very unreliable for most of last season. I must say it could be be a bit hit and miss during the 10 years we were there up to 2019. Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 There are 3 or 4 masts that cover the Tingdene Marina, have you checked which is the best one for your location. I have always found it to be reasonable up to this year, I know they have had to have replacement routers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishfoxey Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 Hi yes have tried them all none of them gives me a great reception Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Have a word with Chris or Mark in Reception about this, it is part of our fees that we pay for mooring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunder Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I've spoken to Mark several times over the past year, despite new routers etc, you still keep losing the Internet, add the fact that everyone it goes down you have to log in again, makes it a waste of time for security use. you need a mobile 4g for that purpose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishfoxey Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 Thats exactly the problem I am having so I agee I think 4g is the way forward. I am hoping someone on here has experience of the best network as my phone network 3, is rubbish. The online signal checkers give EE as having a good signal , but I know these are not that accurate .

thunder Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I normally get 4g on my phone with vodaphone, but never really checked on its reliability. My mooring neighbour as a WiFi hub so I will ask him next time I see him what network he uses 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S37 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I use an EE 4G SIM in Brundall Bay and it works well, Always found EE ok on the Southern rivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishfoxey Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 Thanks will try EE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldBerkshireBoy Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 EE reception was poor in both the phone and the tablet in Brundall. Don't think that there is a stand out winner tbh but the actual phone used makes a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExSurveyor Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 EE is not the best coverage for me at Brundall Gardens, O2 is slightly better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
