How to improve WiFi in marina - any suggestions

I had a directional wifi aerial front Ebay about £15 and just plugged into the USB. It worked ok but as said before it doesn't sort out poor bandwidth and to many connections. We now have a larger data package for the phone and just share this 4G seems much faster and more reliable than marina wifi. Not sure what will happen in Europe after Brexit might need a local sim card?

Go to any http website - not the https version; you need unsecured http:// so the wifi can redirect you to its captive portal.

To avoid caching I wrote a little shell script on my Mac, taking a random word from the dictionary (/usr/share/dict), and opening http://$word.com. My script repeated this 5 times, as the $word.com domain is invalid 80% of the time - a valid DNS result is needed before your packets can be captured by the wifi's captive portal.

On Windows you might try a shortcut on the Desktop to 情報商材について | 情報商材を見抜く！ and seeing if that works.

Apart from the captive portal, all the data you transmit over the wifi will be encrypted anyway - https websites are perfectly secure, and most websites and browsers will redirect you to them. On today's systems you have to force unencrypted http to get to the captive portal.
