Orchidland is no worse than Fern Forest, better probably... Frustrating, I know!! The solution I came up with was to use the cell phone as the wifi port, and get an antenna/signal booster mounted on the house. I went with Wilson, it was a $300 unit from Cellular Enhancements near KTA in Hilo. You could probably find one cheaper online. It's somewhat expensive monthly ($49.99 through ATT), but it's very reliable now. Satellite costs more for the install, the dish and the monthly, and still only give you 5G normally. It isn't as reliable either. It slows way down there's a storm, or if you go over a certain amount of data usage in a day.
