Connecting to broadband

hi all I have a static caravan and the site has put wifi in for every site owner but if you want a stronger signal they are looking £150 for a hub, anyone know if I could buy a hub that might do the same job and connect it myself as they are not telling us to much about any thing we need

    The WiFi on my caravan site is for a single device only which I find too restrictive as I have a phone, a tablet, and a laptop all of which I use at one time or another. Check carefully what you are being offered before buying anything.

    Have you considered 4G? I use a 4G MiFi device along with an antenna to boost the signal. The price is comparible with the site WiFi charge.

    This is what I was using on Three 3G - https://www.digitalham.co.uk/mobile-broadband/
    Last year EE started to offer 4G from the same mast and I swapped over to them. As their rural 4G uses lower freqencies I couldn't use the same antenna but found that the cheap £12 mimo diamond antennas you see on eBay worked well enough just stuck to the window glass.
