@coastrnut Жыл бұрын
Thank you for sharing this video! Very good information! I just wanted to share something that I found out - with HomeFi - and their sister company TravlFi. I was looking into options after hearing about the Nomad Internet fiasco - (was actually tempted to go with them - until watching your updated review - and others - glad I didn't). I did see HomeFi -- and the "free" router. However - upon checking their FAQ's -- yes, the router is free - But -- it is only free if you keep up the month to month payments for their service. If you decide to drop their service then you must return their router - or you will be charged an equipment fee. So essentially in order to keep the "free" router - you must keep up with the month to month service. If you would decide to skip months when you are not traveling, you have to cancel the service, return the router, and then when you want to pick up the service again, you have to re-order a new router - wait for them to ship it again, then start your Month to Month all over again. To me - this would be a pain - unless you are keeping the service all year around. To me - the better option is with their sister company - TravlFi ( travlfi.com/ ). With TravlFi - you purchase the router up front - then the router is yours to keep. Just like HomeFi - the router works with all 3 of the major carriers - AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon - with no sim card required. The router is the exact same router that you featured on your video with HomeFi - but, you own it - instead of renting it. The best part - is that after purchasing the router - and choosing your data plan (the data plan I choose is 50 gig of data a month for $69 a month), you have the option of a true month to month - OR month to month recurring. With month to month - you only pay for the months you use - on a month to month basis - and - you can pause (ie - not pay for) the months you don't need the service. Say if you want the service for June, then skip July - and pick the service back up again in August - you just Pay for June, don't pay for July, then Pay again in August. You will NOT need to return the router - since you purchased it up front - and you simply just re-activate it again when you are ready to start using it again. And - if you run low on data, you can 'upgrade' to the next plan - say if you have the 50 gig plan and decide mid month that you really need the 100 gig plan, you can call and upgrade to the next plan, and will only be charged the pro-rated charge for that partial month - (not the whole month), then the next month you will be charged for the higher speed plan in full. You can also downgrade as well - (but not sure if when you downgrade you would receive a refund mid month - probably not) but, then for the next month, you would be charged the appropriate amount for the downgraded less gig data plan. I have tried out TravlFi and so far, (with only 2 days of 8 hours of service) I had a solid connection - and no dropped or loss of signal. I plan on using this for travel when I am working, so I can work remote from the RV while camping. So - for me- with the idea of being truly able to only pay for the months I want to use the service (your month starts when you order and use the service - I started May 6th- so my service will end on June 6th unless I pay for another month by June 6th) and can drop the service for the months I won't be needing the service - without sending equipment back, and then waiting for shipping again when I want to pick the service back up. So - just putting this out there - as another option for people to look into as well. Both HomeFi and TravlFi are owned by the same company - and both are very easy to contact as well. Hope this might help others as well! Gary Moyer

Thanks Gary, I'm also considering the TravlFi option since we normally only camp about six months out of the year. Now that you've been using it awhile have you been happy with the routers performance and has it been easy to start and stop service?

Heads up, Tom! They no longer provide Verizon service. They did not notify us it happened, we just discovered it on our own when we were suffering through a period of spotty coverage where a Verizon connection would have given us service. We only found out today when we confronted them about it. They finally acknowledged it. You will want to pull down this video or correct the information in order to maintain your reputation.

HomeFi ....... sounds interesting. I am currently using AT&T service with an external router paying $20/month. In the process of adding a T-mobile SIM card (through Mintmobile) for a regular $30/month. So, having three providers (I guess they use eSIM cards) and $80/month and 200GB actually is pretty darn interesting.

If this has a MediaTek chipset you might want to check your WIFI connection in the software of the box. If it uses Open source openwrt and there is a bad driver for the chipsets where the WIFI distance is hampered by this driver -10db loss of power output and its not allowing proper connection to the WIFI at the speeds its supposed to be. Like WIFI connects at 600mbs instead of 866mbs WIFI speed connection. So as a tech of 25+ plus years this is the info i have found with some of these routers coming out using MediaTek processors. So beware what is coming from these companies.

Hi.. I would like to get something that if I have my pet with us. We leave the pet inside the rv and use a camera to keep an eye on him and the temperature inside of the rv. Would this be a good setup? Would the basic plan seem to be a good plan let say for 4 to 6 hours of using camera? I see they have this orange puck unit. You know how good that is??? You have any other thoughts on what I’m trying to do. We still would be at a place with Wi-Fi but would like to use my own hook up for this.

They have 2 routers. The orange one works the same, but is smaller and more portable. There are comments on this video from people that have that one. We recommend the black one because the antennas pull in a better cell signal when you are camping in more remote areas.

Hey Onewolf1959! We currently offer two different devices. One of them is a portable router(Orange router), and the other is an LTE home internet router. They both work the same, powered by cell towers in your area. Our portable hotspot is used for travel because it does have several hours of battery life. It can be used at home as well connecting up to ten devices simultaneously. Our LTE router is mainly used for the home, it is faster and has more of a stable connection, and it is able to connect up to thirty-two devices simultaneously.

Ok, based on other reviews I’ve read, I must ask: two or more months in, how is your service now? Still good? Do you have to call the them to change to another provider?
@Astro-George Жыл бұрын
I've been using HomeFi for the past 2 months and am still in the testing phase however so far it has performed decently. You don't have to call them to switch providers as it will determine signal strength when plugged in and use the best of the 3. Like Tom said all you have to do is unplug the unit for a few seconds then plug it back in and it will determine the best signal at that time.

This will not work in locations where there is no cell service. Starlink works ALL THE TIME. Cell service is costly and not guaranteed to give you a connection. Even when you have a cell connection, you need to read the terms of "unlimited access" terms, and your bandwidth will be limited. Still, you may always be able to connect (depending on cell availability). The cell providers watch your bandwidth usage and will pull back the allowed download and upload speeds. Cellular is not a great option if some emergency cell towers become overloaded and malfunctioning. Starlink would not be affected by any national or local emergency. The value of Starlink and the ability to connect in all cases outweigh the cost and compare it to any cellular service. This is not a great solution for RV's
@ChaseTheRide Жыл бұрын
Questionable solution if you ask me. How are they able to give all 3 carriers? Example this month I use 500 gig on Verizon and next month on ATT. Cell service companies just don’t share like this and for the cost you’re not going to get all 3. Will be interested in seeing outcome after a few months of use. Paying hundreds of dollars a month for mobile internet sucks, however fact I can work and travel make it worth every dollar knowing I will have service.

Really appreciate your post. I have been using a pepwave solution on/off for the past couple years and have to admit that I prefer the home fi solution. Although I have only had it for a day, it is already outperforming the pepwave / husky parsec solution at my home base. I did not have large upfront or installation costs. I really appreciate that it works with all three carriers and I do not have to buy a sim for each as well as a data plan for each. Exactly what I have been searching for.... THANK YOU!!!

Tom, pardon me for a minute. I am old school, if something seems too good to be true you must look away. For some reason, this is sniffing a lot like a Nomad restart, however I found other providers offering the same devices at a higher cost per month. My big question would be future support what if/when 4G/4GLTE finally goes the way of the Dodo bird, will they provide a new modem and move customers over to the current tech, or oh sorry it was an awesome time now go and start looking again. I would love to see RV Internet Resource Center validate this. Also, is anyone else concerned that the devices are only made in China? I did find the user manual and this device can be setup as a bridge, and not do routing you could then do VPN tunnel over it to encrypt your data. My concern is how much money did the Chinese gov. put into this vSIM tech and how much of my data will be on the dark web for them to sell? Edited: Tom this was an awesome intro to this product, and review of options.

Yep. The 4GLTE lifespan/expiration was my question. Telecom providers are not known for loyalty so it takes us asking in droves in a short time to push demand via terms in our favor. I am in a RV Campground now and minimize use of the no security wifi; I even had what seemed like somone moving my mouse cursor.... no bueno, but then wifi is easily hacked even with your "secure" modem. I need a solution of sorts so the HomeFi and a booster may do the trick , but for how long until the providers go 100% 5G or higher.

This thing is terrible. How can you share such a video? Take it down. People like me, who use Starlink use it for when there is no cell service. We don't camp constantly either so we need a service we can pause, like Starlink. We just got back from a trip (Gorges State Park in North Carolina) where this device would not have worked because this company doesn't and hasn't used Verizon in a long time and that was the only service that worked in the campground area where we were and even it was spotty and slow. Whereas my Starlink was solid. I'm surprised and disappointed that you are shilling for this company and product and haven't pulled the videos yet considering how inaccurate they are. Please reconsider.
