Boosting WiFi Signal if Possible Please

Hi Guys,

We are currently on a property where the WiFi signal is quite poor and are only able to pick up 3G at the moment and I expect this will be the case for the duration of our stay here, which will be at least 12 weeks.

Of late I have had great signal strength elsewhere with 4G and even 5G which made loading pages very quick, i think i have been spoiled.

Anyway, is there anyway to boost my signal strength whilst i am on this property, maybe put the WIFi unit outside, maybe put it further from the Computer in the Caravan, or maybe someone could suggest something else.

We use a Telstra 4G portable Wi Fi unit which has served us very well of late.

I also currently use a Netgear WHA3100 Adapter with my Desk Top as well which dose serve me well also.

Would a new faster D Link Adapter or similar prove more efficient maybe as i have had the one in the desk top form many years.

So any suggestions would be appreciated please, or am i stuck with the signal strengths until i relocate.
Also the Telstra Tower is in sight wit less than a kilometer away.

So is it the WiFi signal strength causing the issue or has the adapter got something to do with it as well.

Thanks in advance.

Leon
