Wi-Fi Extender to Boost Hotspot

Can you recommend any wifi extender? The tenda wouldn't work as it's a router. I simply need a wifi extender to boost my hotspot from mobile.

Interestingly I found that outside the house (garden or just the door) I get so speed of 13 Mbps.
However, as soon as I bring inside house it drops to 2mbps. It's a brick house but still wouldn't have thought it would have made any difference.

    How are you going to keep your hotspot charged in the garden?

    Either a tent or an antenna for hotspot may be a better investment…

    (on a side note, I thought Felix was restricting usage of their SIMs in hotspot devices…?)

    (MW6 won't work for your use case)

      Thanks. Not literally in garden. Just outdoor area. We have few PowerPoints.
      My usual is not that high. So shouldn't get affected.
      How does antenna for hotspot work? Do you have link for it. I haven't seen that before

      • Felix checks IMEI rather than usage to work out if you're using it with a hotspot or not.

        Re-read your OP, I thought you were using a separate hotspot, I now see that you are using your phone so 1) that should be OK with felix, 2) won't be able to use the antenna option.

        What kind of devices are you using as clients? Computers? Media streamers?

    • Plug into the 12V garden light power circuit.

  • Try an extender. It was not as successful for me though. I did a diy solution. Wrap some aluminium foil around the router antenna. The foil directs the signal towards a direction and increases the signal strength.. Try to remove mirrors in the direction of the router. They divert the signal. It might help.

      Thanks for the tip. I'll try that and do some research on diy solutions.

    I have been using a WN2500RP for the last 8 years. Love it. :-) I assume that the 3500 is as good.

    • Thanks a lot. That is really helpful. I was looking for something in this price range
