Smile Getting better internet?

I need to understand what we need to buy to boost our internet strength. Help!

My husband will be traveling for 2 months to Canada and the East Coast, and both will be working remotely. I know this is an old/tired issue, but what do we need?

We have hotspots on our phones. Do we need some kind of booster? If yes, recommendations please.

Thanks. This Forum is always so helpful!

Im looking into Nomad internet. They send you the pre-configured router for your chosen provider and its truly unlimited data. No throttled back speed after you get to the preset data usage limit in the tethered hotspot solutions offered with your cell phone. Has a 7 day trial. Mine will be delivered soon. Going to test it using streaming video for a virtual 3 day music festival. I'll do a followup post.

Or data packets freeze in the wires during the winters. Then it takes all summer to get them flowing again LOL.

It's going to be dependent on where you are staying.
Will you be near urban areas or rural?
You should probably check out each location on your trip to see how cell service is.
