My elderly Uncle is about to move to a new care home where BT Broadband is not available.
He currently has cable broadband.
He uses the Internet on a laptop and his smart TV on his "good" days with his one functioning hand.
On bad days, he does not know what a laptop is:-(
I do his remote IT support via TeamViewer.
The new care home has a good signal with 3.
I'm thinking of getting either a 3 MiFi dongle to use with the laptop or a 3 USB dongle and a router to use with the laptop + TV.
The most important thing is a connection that is always on - he won't cope with having to do anything extra to get online and I need access without having to talk him through connection.
Second most important is up-time - he can't move and it's a real pain getting care workers to reboot IT kit!
Anyone using one of these gizmos got any suggestions as to specific models to get / avoid?
Will the always on bit work?
