Very different performance from the routers I have had. Reasonable success with ex MartinT TP-Link MR6400, in use now Oddly, unsuccessful with the TP-Link MR-600, a better router but barely works for me. Martin had success with the MR-6400 and then step up with the MR600. He is also on Three but with a far better signal and service Previously my best was ZTE MF286D I have had my difficulties with the Three Broadband, making it all very hit and miss as to what is causing what. Mobile Broadband better than land line A Poynting directional aerial supplies the MR-6400 Been waiting for some time now before experimenting to confirm I have a reasonably stable service. Music stopped this morning for no reason I could see. Bubble off and on to no avail then reboot tablet to get the music back. Variables for me to try : Various routers I have. For almost all of them I need a different size SIM carrier. Will work out what I need Aerials, rabbit ear, internal and a Poynting external non directional. How is everyone else doing ?

I've got the Sky router. Never given me any issues, rock solid performance so far.

Is it branded something other than Sky anywhere Jules ?

No it's just branded Sky SR203.

I am much better off with mobile broadband than I ever was with land-based, which is seriously crap here.
4G+ works remarkably well on 2 bars of signal strength both for the music room (EE) and main barn (Three). Both get decent download speeds, 35-50 Mbps for EE and 35-150 Mbps for Three.
Why not use Three for both? Because EE is rock solid, stable and has lower latency.
Music sounds better and streaming TV is better since this change, and the use of TP-Link MR600 routers with QoS for both.

Good step up from land line to broadband here, nowhere near as good as you though, or even my next door neighbour
Looked into EE here. Rubbish signal Wish my MR-6400 had QoS
Work to do. Must be good for the soul, or something

I never understood why the MR600 never worked for you, Mike, but as I remember it never even got a connection, yes?
