Hi , Myself and my wife are in the process of purchasing a mobile home after years of camper vanning , I am looking to find the best option regarding wi fi for our fire stick and laptops while away , I have used my hotspot in the camper but it is not always reliable , I have heard of a dongle that can be used at home and can be used outside of the home also , Hoping for recommendations before shopping around and going for the first thing that sounds good , Thanks in advance for any suggestions .

It would depend what part of Ireland the mobile is in?

Check the comreg coverage map and put in eircode were the mobile is and the you check each provider for 4g and 5g coverage and then go with strongest provider. 48.ie have €12.99 PAYG for 30 days unlimited usage and vodafone have 5g €20 PAYG 30 day pass as well
 
If you are in Wexford don't want to go down the wireless dongle route, the 2 options are Regional Broadband and Whizzy Broadband.
Both give good service and are good value
 
Vodafone sent me a mobile broadband device when we had an outage of their fibre broadband. Never used it. It's an Alcatel LinkHub cat 7 Home Station. Should work but will need signal.
 
The thread title seems to be misleading - if this is a question about 4G/5G or other (e.g. microwave? satellite) broadband and not actually about local area networking WiFi?

Try it on the site where the mobile is located, and better still, talk to others and see what they use and which network as the most reliable coverage. A mobile repeater might help if the issue is mobile network signal, but they're pricey.

All mobile signals are dependent on your location. Only solution is to move to somewhere where the signal is strong. Reminds me of the Old Tommy Cooper joke.

So I rang up my local swimming pool and I said 'Is this my local swimming pool ?' Yourman answered 'Well it depends where your ringing from'
