After recently moving house Iv'e discovered that Broadband at the address will be less than 2Mbps & there's no available Fibre either so have decided to go for Mobile 4G WIFI with Vodafone,
It arrived today and once set up the speeds I'm getting varies between 5-16Mbps, if I can get to to stay around 16 I'd be happy, so was thinking of purchasing another router that I can use the broadband SIM card in, and then get an external 4G antenna to mount on the roof in the hope it will maximise my chance of getting a stronger Wifi signal

Just need a push in the right direction for routers that allow external antennas and give off good Wifi and also outdoor 4G antennas.......

Any ideas if what I'm thinking would work?

Hey mate... just to point out the lack of logic: 4G and WiFi are completely different things so getting a 4G antenna won't get you better WiFi signal.

Getting an antenna means also to get a good quality cable to the modem (4g thingy) and also consider that you have to connect the cable to the modem so you need the proper connectors. I would check that before ordering it.
