Yes, not easy to view on a small screen.

I'm right on the edge of coverage areas so I might be lucky or someone in another thread has suggested putting the router in the loft.

Loft, or a window facing the direction of the mast. (if the sun comes in that window, a piece of card can prevent the router from being cooked whilst letting radio signals through).

Beware that the maps show the coverage as reported by the network operators so they have a vested interest in showing greater coverage than is actually achieved on the ground. Where we live even outside there is no coverage at all (you can test by trying to make an emergency call which should be routed by any network that the phone can access). I haven't checked lately but last time I checked only Three reported that fact honestly with all the other networks claiming that there is definitely outdoor and in some cases adequate indoor capability. This has been raised with the individual operators but with no discernible effect on the coverage maps.

I've seen two friends routers (ADSL days) get "cooked" by strong sunlight and fail. In the UK we put things in windows in the winter and forget how strong the heat can be in summer, behind glass.

Yes, despite us joking about the cold, the sun can be mighty powerful.
