Has anyone got a good way of connecting more than one device to the CC wifi, as you can only login one device at a time. Not much good when most people that would be using it would have atleast a smart phone and a tablet or laptop.
Thanks

Get a mifi.
This acts as a hub. CC only sees the mifi and you can connect as much as you like to your mifi.

Or if you have a Windows laptop then you can use software like Virtual Router Plus which lets you use the laptop as the designated device and the software the turns the laptop into a wi-fi hotspot for your other devices.

If you downlaod it make sure you click the correct link. There's loads of ads with big 'Download' buttons which aren't what you want to click on. Here is the direct download link to save you time.

A Mi-Fi connects to a mobile phone network not to Wi-Fi. And depending on model you are limited to five or eight devices.

Can to elaborate?

It lets you use up to ten devices on one wi-fi connection
Wiki gives some details and you can see the price of one here

We camped for years. In 2019 we bought an Elddis Avante 454. We like it as it is short (6.9m) and fits in our driveway and has a fixed bed.
We had 127 nights away in the caravan in 2023.

Thanks we've got a tablet each, that we don't want to take turns at logging on with and I'm not paying £25 for each of them.
Plenty to choose from thanks

If you have 3G you could use a data sim to connect and avoid the CC wifi charges. I use 3 mobile data sims £2.99 from PC World. Always had good reception and gives you 1gb for 30 days.

Apologies to OP and Inner Zone.
Wrote original response in stop/start traffic (yes, I know..)
Somehow first bit of message got lost.
Start again. Got totally fed up with faffing with poor quality wifi (not just CC) and decided to get an all you can eat phone package and use the phone and tether the mifi. We can then both use iPads etc. although initially it can seem expensive I judged that the various costs of commercial wifi really does mount up and the convenience/ ability of getting a phone signal almost everywhere outweighed the cost.
This was sent from France...
Sorry for confusing folk

Really... I recently bought a 3 dongle and the top up for this is a tenner so you can just buy a new sim card for it then then bin it when its used up?

Yes exactly that, only normal SIMs currently available today, there were mini and nano also, but stock fluctuates.
