Not with the two I've had or any I've seen. The only advantages they offer over a typical MiFi device is the option of external antenna for the 4G and an ethernet output you can used for wired devices and/or a wired WiFi repeater if you have a large area to cover.
I dumped my home call package when they wanted to put the price up. With an unlimited calls and texts monthly SIM costing £5 I thought they were having a laugh.
Thank you 'Klondike' for your reply, Talktalk wanted to increase my ‘home call’ package to £12 a month,
(£38.50 in all), which I packed in November
(pure greed, had they left me alone I’d probably have slumbered on in my inertia of apparently overpaying on broadband speed and only making £5 a month in calls anyway - Now they’ll lose all!). Anyway that was the first step change into a world that I’m somewhat challenged in I must admit?
I have a bungalow of 2,600 sq ft. with floored lit and and power socketed lofts. So
(thinking out loud) without the need for a phone line access I could easily locate the 4G router into this space, thus avoiding the signal having to pass through solid walls
(and two lots of tiled rooms), to other points of reception. Also, finding a hot spot for connectivity is made that much easier to find I would imagine
(bit like the old days with indoor TV aerials)? This combination of the loft re-site, plus a few strategically ’wired'
(ethernet cable connected?) repeaters could also be quickly achieved, thereby boosting the signal to the Bedroom TV by placing a repeater directly above it and a second similarly to a guest room? Both these places have TV's on Sky Q, but as I’ve said struggle for reception on iplayer, catch up etc, as they move further away from the present wireless router.
Thank you so much for helping me with this, really much appreciated, and
have I got the right idea do you think?
