    hey all
    i have the Three.ie all you can eat data (top up every 28 days) through my Huawei Phone as a wifi hotspot (uses my phone as a router)

    but the signal is not great and i get a lot of buffering on my smart tv when i stream Netflix

    can anyone recommend a Wifi Booster / Extender or something similar

    Wifi Booster / Extender will not improve your internet speed/quality - you stand more chances with proper 4G modem, but even then its not guaranteed.

    can you run two speed tests?

    1. Speed test from your 4G phone with hotspot switched off
    2. Speed test from a device connected via your phone

    and publish results here?

    Two speed test options you can use
