Re: RV Internet setup needed for work

Are you sure it gets 5Ghz? I might be misreading the information on that link. How well does this one perform? Does it still work pretty well with only a bar or two of signal? I am willing to pay that much if it is really going to work great. I love that it has the Terminal for AT commands built in...

Re: RV Internet setup needed for work

Hay OSUKrazyKate There are many modems and Antennas to pick from. If you can list your needs/goals and your budget the group can offer better information for your setup. Also helps to know about your location and what Carrier / bands you plan to use. Are you able to use your MoFI in the short term u...

Re: RV Internet setup needed for work

Since I bought this modem not that long ago and paid a good amount of money I would prefer to use this one for now. Thanks for any assistance or suggestions! Good advice it’s a little late Most people get the hardware then find this site when they need help. When I see RV 9 out of 10 times it’s a M...

Re: RV Internet setup needed for work

Hmmmmm, that 3rd company didn't happen to be have RV in their name with 4G did it? No, this was a company called InfinteLTE. They actually are a very good company. I think AT&T changed the rules on them. A few days later they offered to get me reconnected on a new Sim, but I had already moved o...

Re: RV Internet setup needed for work

I know the MOFI was working great for me previously most of the places I was located, but I am now considering this modem https://thewirelesshaven.com/shop/routers/4g-lte-routers/lt500-cellular-router-with-dual-band-wifi-plug-and-play/ That modem is no better than the Mofi. The wifi router is bette...

Re: RV Internet setup needed for work

I would agree with BDF1234, the MoFi is a good starter unit but if you need speed you will need to build a hot rod. It’s not as scary as it sounds, the boys at the The Wireless Haven Store and the users here can help!! Often when you buy and off the self, turn key unit they lack the access to the gu...

Re: RV Internet setup needed for work

Do you have any suggestions that is affordable, works great, and will last me for a bit? I would suggest getting the most you can possibly get out of the Mofi and then reassess. You will learn a lot as you gain experience with it and build your knowledge base. You will then be in a better position ...

Re: RV Internet setup needed for work

How do I confirm if I am using phone data or hotspot data? The short answer, trial and error. You get the modem connected and do something to use data, like streaming. Wait a few hours, or overnight, and log in to your account to see whether data counted as hotspot data or unlimited data. If it is ...
