I had used my phone (EE) as a hot spot and a Huawei Category 6 dongle with a 3 data SIM as a dedicated wi-fi dongle.
They worked fine when the mobile signal was good.
However, I discovered there were still areas where there is poor to no 4G signal, like campsite in or near forests.
In addition, I am using the router using a metal box that is my van which blocks out some of the signal.
Hence I spent a small fortune to have the latest technology installed on my van from motorhomewifi.com, so that my van is truly for work, rest and play.

The external 5G antenna was able to pick up 5G signals when my phone couldn't, and I am very happy with its performance so far.
It is a personal choice to be able to stay well-connected while I am out and about in my van for work, and I held back from getting an external antenna for a year to see if I could cope without it (I couldn't).
