Internet system

[richardkillmon]

I've tried the hotspot on my phone and I was wondering what  would be a good company or a system to get Internet service installed in my RV does anyone have any suggestions

Chris and Cherie, Technomadia,  make it their business to keep up with all things mobile connectivity.

Their membership will more than pay for itself, by you not buying useless equipment, and having to buy more useless equipment, to find something that works.

Real world testing, no ties to manufacturers, unbiased reviews.

They earn their income online, have a bus, a van and a boat. Being connected is no game for them... mission critical.

Happy coaching!

It also depends on where you are in the country. Some places you just can't connect no matter what. We hae T-Mobile with a phone hot spot that works well but only has 14GB of data while the phone is unlimited use talk and text.
So we got the separate hot spot with 100GB for 49.99 a month and it works well but again only in 80 % of the country. If you have a WeBoost it will pretty much fill in the rest. There will alays be place you can't connect.
Soon the Starlink will be finished and that is suppose to connect the whole thing by Satellite but not done yet.

We also use a VPN for security.

I have a private LAN on my bus that consists of:

1. Netgear LTE Mobile router
2. T-Mobile service from OTRMobile (unlimited)
3. Ubiquiti EdgeRouter which is configured for a always on wide area network with my home and company.
4. Ubiquiti POE data switches
5. Ubiquiti AirCube wifi access point

When T-Mobile is not working I also use a ethernet to Wify adapter to link in the hotspot on my AT&T tablet.

I am also waiting for StarLink for mobile use.

Not as fancy as yours, but we also use Ubiquiti equipment to make a local network inside the bus. Allows us to connect to a campground WiFi without as much risk since it provides a layer of security between them and us.

I do have a Ubiquiti NanoStation that would let me do that, just haven't got around to taking it out of the box and using it as I have never been to campground that had a good enough service to try it out. As they tell you when checking in to not do video streaming.

We've  been to at least 20 campgrounds this summer. Only 2 or 3 had descent signal. Lucky to read emails on the others. Campgrounds are so full, everyone is sucking up the signal that's available. I try to use it before 7am or after 11pm for any results at all.

You're reinforcing the fact of why we're in neutral still in a holding pattern. (Lazy at the ponderosa)  All the power to ya! Safe travels...

Since I don't use wifi for any type business just reading the BB, F/B and Sonja doing the utube thing when traveling,I get by on any wifi systems even Walmart.We are at the Pines in Williams it seems to have good internet service for a RV park

[chessie4905]

We are in Kanab, Utah tonight. Internet is decent and many off antenna TV stations, which was a surprise. Last night in Moab, nothing, but hot, damn hot.lol. The Arches national park was awesome.

The Ubiquiti NanoStation, combined with a pole-mounted WiFi antenna allows us to sometimes grab a public WiFi signal from beyond our campground, especially if we are in a campground near civilization. Not something that I set up often, but it's handy to have when cell service sucks and there's a need to be online.

True that sometimes the campground signal is being used by so many the bandwidth is tight, but I've actually seen an improvement in the WiFi available in campgrounds recently. Seems more are trying to make improvements now that everyone is using it.

When in a remote area, the same bandwidth problem can happen with cell service if there aren't enough towers in the area.

The last couple of years that we were on the road we used a Verizon Jetpack for our desktop Mac computer. If we were in an area without a cell tower we just went to a library with computers and used them to get our email, etc.  When we bought the house the cell tower was behind a mountain and the jetpack didn't work so we got a landline modum from Century Link. When we moved here we could have done the same thing, but since we also bought another bus and will travel i got another Jetpack to use both in the house and the bus.

Willson Electronics sell many signal boosters. Used one at house several years ago with ATT. Had to go to bedroom to make a call, because that was where roof antenna came into the house.lol
