Project ConnectTheLastHomelyHouse continues.
We got a Mikrotik router/dish combo as an incremental way to test 4G connections. The existing test of a very cheap router & omnidirectional antenna got us through the last few days of no ADSL, proving the value. This combo also tells me exactly which mast the signal is coming from.
But I cannot get the Mikrotik to connect to that mast. It feels like I'm doing something wrong or daft, but the documentation is truly awful.
This may have been a mistake.
