The problem with almost all "hotspot" devices is that they have very poor internal antennas. When you are camping, it is typically not close to a cell tower so you have a weaker signal. Some of the aftermarket hotspots (cell phone data to WiFi converter) do have external antennas and they make a big difference.
Typically, you just swap the SIM card.
How far away from a cell tower would an external antenna be useful in typical situations?
I have the Nether MIMO external antenna. It does help a little. Not as much as I had expected.
