As I live in an area that had virtually no internet or mobile reception (I am also down in a gully), I thought I would give this a try. After plugging it in to the Telstra mobile broadband I wasn’t able to receive any signal at all but then I thought I would try it with the TP link modem/router and it worked. I have gone from no internet access at all (maybe 25% on a good day) to 50% signal strength most days, which for me is a big improvement, well worth the money.
