• What wifi dongle do people recommend for when home broadband goes down? Virgin connection has has been down/intermittent since Thursday and word on the street is it might take them til this Thursday to fix it.

    We're tethering to 4G on mobiles but wondering if a dongle will have more oomph?

    Depends on your phone and dongle really.

    My samsung galaxy s9+in hotspot mode gives us 200mbps at home but in the past when I've tried various USB dongles I've never seen more than 40mbps or so.

    Our 4g router gives us about 150mbps.

    The only way to find out is to experiment really.

  • Wow, is that 200mbps on a 4G connection?

    Looks like my S8 is out performing my partners iPhone SE by some margin, might need to share/swap.
