I think I posted something on this a while back, but I can’t find the thread. Pardon the partial overlap.
I’ve got my cerbo and other Victron stuff inside a shipping container. I want to buy a hotspot so that I can use the Victron virtual remote monitoring. I also need a hotspot out there to be reachable for/from work.
I can get an AT&T plan for about 40 bucks a month unlimited. The hotspot they want to sell me is a is Netgear Nighthawk M6 PRO. And I can get one of these on eBay for about 200 bucks. It says AT&T and unlocked.
My question is, how do I get the signal from the hotspot to inside the shipping container?
I’m guessing I need to mount the hotspot outside, covered somehow, and up high, and with access to power. Maybe it accepts cat 6 cable?
Or should I be looking at some sort of ourdoors rated hotspot? These are my choices that work with the plan.
Or is starlink the way to go? I’m remote but not that remote. Phone works fine when up on the roof.
I am technically challenged so please keep it simple.
Many thanks
