Routers & hardware
The hardware often matters more than the provider
A better router or a correctly aimed antenna can improve a connection more than switching supplier. Here is what to look for across routers, mesh systems, antennas and travel kit.

Labs bench
How we plan to test hardware
When we begin formal hardware testing, each device will run in the same test environment and, where relevant, at a rural weak-signal site. We will measure throughput at fixed distances, thermal behaviour under sustained load, failover time and how much of the useful configuration is locked away.
Wi-Fi mesh
Example Wi-Fi Mesh System
Mesh systems can help extend coverage where a single router is not enough.

5G router
Example 5G Router
Look for external antenna ports if you live in a marginal-signal area.
