Good verizon signal. What next?

My goal is a wifi signal for our cabin in north georgia. I bought a cell fi go-x, and it's working well.

Where do I go from here? I'd like a continuous wifi signal so I can check an occasional camera or a thermostat. If I could get around a hotspot limit, that would be awesome. Could someone recommend a plan, preferably from Verizon?

I read the tutorial, but I'd love a modem and router recommendation for my needs.

Please talk to me like I'm a dimwit because that's honestly how I feel on this forum. :lol:

Take a look at this YouTube https://youtu.be/VMEcYUyXebY

What cell phone do you have? What is the data speed test?

I'm using a verizon google pixel. I'll run the speed test this weekend. I've been fiddling with the final position of the signal booster, and I'm getting around -80dbm. Not the greatest but much better than the -115dbm I was getting originally. Thanks for the youtube link.
