Thanks in advance.
Hi Thanks for your comment but it’s for a fixed non mobile application.I haven,t bothered with a wifi booster for the last few years now that there are such good deals for mobile broadband avaiable
Hi Thanks for your comment but it’s for a fixed non mobile application.
In that case can you be more explicit on what you want, i.e. do you want to expand your own wifi network, or do you want to pick up wifi.
Hi ST3v3.To be more specific. My son runs a business from a 40ft shipping container that is on a farm.There is WiFi on the farm but reception where his container is situated is poor. He is wondering if he we can find a WiFi booster to improve his reception. Any suggestions welcome.I agree.
I would be trying to put in something like this for the actual link.
That's wired at both ends though, would you be able to hard wire both ends? If not, you'll need a wireless access point in the container as well.

I'd agree with POI Admin, but if you want to stick with the WiFi then Ubiquiti NanoStation both ends is the best option as long as you have line of sight, we've done this on lots of farms in Shropshire.I would consider replacing Wi-Fi with mobile broadband access.
The cost is now very low and if there is good network coverage that's the way I would go
We have just purchase the one you recommend so let’s hope it does the job.Many thanks for your advice.So he gets reception, but it is poor. How many devices does he want to connect. If it's just one laptop(or similar) then the cheap ebay USB ones such as this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Long-Ran...803588?hash=item2ced2e6c44:g:hDIAAOSwNmddDFvu may well be enough, as an example without one my nabours wifi just shows on my laptop, with it plugged in it shows as max signal, although I've never actually measured the speed, take no notice of it saying XP/Vista/Win7, or it saying use disc to set up, it's 'plug and play' on Win10. If it's more than one device and he has power, then the ones mentioned in other posts will be good, or for a solution at around £50, if he can plug a cat5e cable into router and run that across he can then use a wifi router on end of that, I've done a couple of portacabins like this,
