As the username suggests, my brain is getting frazzled by all the options out there.

I would love to spend the summer in my caravan, but realistically need a decent internet signal to be able to work (and keep the kids happy streaming TV). I am going to be based in one location (in the Highlands) all summer, so no moving around from day to day.

I think the best (cheapest and most reliable) option is to buy a smarty SIM and put it into a mobile router from Amazon. The problem is which mobile router? So many options, so little knowledge!

I think I need an unlocked dual band box bit, and possibly with an external omni directional aerial to get the best signal possible. Does that make sense?

How do you know which boxes can have an external aerial fitted? Some of them advertise 300mbps. Is that a good number?

The ones I think might be suitable seem to be about £70 ish. Am I being realistic with that?
