In this video, I install, setup, and review the Wifiranger Elite AC Pack. It's so important for me to stay connected to internet while traveling fulltime and this wifi range extender does more than just boost wifi signal. This actually combines multiple internet sources into one connection for my rv to have the best bandwidth available and be able to connect to wifi networks up to 2 miles away. I think this is the best wifi range extender available for rv living.

[@7106Billy]

So what if you don't have an ethernet cable like a computer and you just have wireless devices like tablets and cell phones are u still able to use the device

[@bigdogboos1]

Would these work if the antenna was inside by the window?

[@warmonger7898]

I have a question do you have to use the wifi ranger router to set up the antenna or could I just plug it into my existing router

[@dcoleman32503]

Most of the channels I subscribe to are RV related, and while I've seen reviews of the WiFi Ranger before, you've covered it better and more in-depth than anybody else has to date. Welcome to the RV community, and looking forward to more great reviews and tutorials.

[@TimothySunday]

Thanks, Doug. That means a lot! I enjoyed making it. Definitely a different style for me.

[@AuthorJAHenry]

Pretty nice. I like the idea that they allow it to work off grid. How much was it?

[@KindlyK9Training]

Good tip, and something I have been thinking about.

[@TimothySunday]

Glad to help! It's working wonderfully!

[@shadowcali559]

So there's wifi in the restaurant but won't reach out to my rv which is best to use ?

[@jago5300]

So you're using your mini hotspot. As an internet connection. You have to have that hooked up. To make that antenna work with the router

[@eespinal1979]

Where can I buy this equipment ?

[@djentledavis]

Thank you so much!!

[@michaelmorell7451]

Wish you would have done a channel change during your test. Atleast on your hotspot. Many routers are on the same channel. A quick change will give you less crowding.

[@peterfong2241]

Hi bro great video, how much would one cost me to get to Jamaica west Indies ?? I really need one, can you help ??

[@yahanahalbanokoyeobochadib9135]

I think you could run ethernet through coax by Jerry rigging ethernet through powerline ...perhaps there is an ethernet to coax adapter so no drilling...few people use coax in rv anymore

[@bg1161]

You loose signal if it's not the proper cable.

[@CareyOnVagabond]

Congrats on the new lifestyle! I subscribed back when you unboxed your Mavic Pro and I bought mine. Your videos have been invaluable for a first time drone owner like me. We have been full time in our our class B for 15 months and can’t imagine going back. Safe travels!

[@TimothySunday]

That's awesome!! I think we might have a unit change in our future as we are running into more and more issues with this older model, but I can't imagine doing anything else now. We absolutely love the lifestyle!

[@CareyOnVagabond]

RV issues:) You may just find that part of your new life:) Even with our newer vehicle it seems like we still have them once in a while. We’ve learned to roll with it and know it’s all part of the adventure! If your interested I’ve attached a link to a video we made 5 or 6 months ago that I wish someone had made for us when we first started. I might even have some newbie drone footage in it:) Thanks again and good luck combining your new lifestyle into your channel!

[@CareyOnVagabond]

Forgot the attachment! Not trying to promote our channel just hoping this info helps you out as repayment for what your drone tips have done for me:) We’ve crossed Canada and the US recently and find these apps and websites invaluable. Safe travels! Dave kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYLLo4Ouh7aVmLM

[@gonzalomejia3390]

Do you know of any resources to check the legalities of this wifi piggybacking?

[@Michael_the_muffinman]

Does a system like this increase your wifi security?

[@TechnokidYT]

Yes Please!

[@henrykn4257]

Hey Timothy, Just for a reference, Mbps= megabits. MBps = megabytes. Great video man. Stay safe.

[@LEGIOXIIIG]

I was just going to write that. Megabits per second = 1/8th of Megabytes per second.

[@davidthorne6796]

What was that kit you got? I want one...did you get a coupon or something like that setup with them to help you get some credit or bonus? After all your channel is what introduced me to this opportunity?

[@TimothySunday]

Thanks, very much. I don't have a coupon code for you. I'm sorry.

[@jarodweaver2989]

How come it looked like with your Multi-WAN with your speedtests that it looked like it consistently changed ISP between Sprint and Verizon?

[@systematic8823]

It is because the setup it uses chooses between one of the 2 or many aggregated connections to start a connection and then aggregates them after that initial connection. It is why in certain applications/sites you cant use a multiwan setup as it appears that traffic comes from 2 IPs and blocks one, etc and you dont get the speed boost by aggregating

[@BoostedNW]

@@systematic8823 Which is also why its not combining the speeds as he described it, It chooses one or the other. Its Load balancing, not Link Aggregation

[@k.s.ktheboogeyman2788]

So u have to have a computer ?

[@drdimento]

Nice review. Thanks for taking the time to produce. Couple questions. 1) How do you manage to be a full time RV'er? 2) Instead of using wifi signals can you plug a wifi modem directly into the the wifi ranger? Or, is there some other way to combine two internet services into one?

[@TimothySunday]

Thanks. 1)Check out my video on this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/enq1iJZ3fNeeiqc 2)You can plug a modem in directly via cat5 cable. You can combine it with another wifi network or cellular to increase bandwidth. Also, on the version I have I can actually connect to 2 seperate wifi networks AND my cell hotspot. I didn't realize I could do that when I made the video. 1 network using the booster antenna (so one far away), one network from the router (so one that would normally be reachable in my camper), AND my Sprint Hotspot. Pretty Cool!

[@drdimento]

I'll say. Nice set up y'all have and . . Y'all got the life hey?

[@CilusseYT]

Really interesting video! I'm quite impressed by the speeds you can get with that antenna, but I doubt you could get more than 1-2 Mbps on a 1+ Mile range, did you try to connect to a network that far already ?

[@TimothySunday]

You can get whatever speed the network has at its source so most definitely able to get more than 1-2Mbs. Also, on the version I have, I can actually connect to 2 separate wifi networks AND my cell hotspot. I didn't realize I could do that when I made the video. 1 network using the booster antenna (so one far away), one network from the router (so one that would normally be reachable in my camper), AND my Sprint Hotspot. Pretty Cool!

[@CilusseYT]

Timothy Sunday Wow really nice! Thanks for the answer :)

[@Obenfiquista81]

How about doing this for a large home (around 100 meters long), i can't really find much info. Are there any wifi extenders where i can get that amount of range easily?

[@k6lsn]

Pretty cool. Just used the link and checked them out, they are in the next town over from me here in Idaho :) Anyway, look forward to seeing future updates about the WiFi Ranger. Peace, Wheelchair John in Idaho. Oh, yesterday I drove up into the foothills and filmed with the Mavic Pro and got some great shots but need to remember to use two or three axis movements in my filming to get a less robotic shot, some of it came out nice though and the rock formations and blue sky just popped :) Was pretty windy so Im gonna try again soon as possible :) C ya

[@TimothySunday]

Awesome! Can't wait to see the footage. You're exactly right about the camera movements being critical. I'm doing a video on that in the coming week or so actually!

[@BoostedNW]

It's not combining the speeds as you described it, It chooses one or the other. Its Load balancing, not Link Aggregation. Two very different things

[@stevecarlisle3323]

You can only connect to one AP.

[@BoostedNW]

@@stevecarlisle3323 Not really sure what your comment is referencing.

[@stevecarlisle3323]

@@BoostedNW Just going on what was suggested in the video.

[@DogsAreGods]

Well......if you had duplicate packages being sent to the same endpoint then it "would' *kind* of being combining the "speed" since your packages are split apart anyways. Duplication would work if you were using it for a particular service, like from the same IP with double packages, it would be faster in that way. That is partially why ping could be faster. (lower ping)

[@bigtexnick2188]

dude, you have a sprint jetpack and you're setting up a wifi extender system? does sprint suck that much? wtf? that makes no sense. i am so confused.

[@robertdonnelly434]

Would've helped A LOT more if you'd turned on some lights for the inside install...

[@micahpendleton5236]

Lol

[@AncientAliens5]

Thanks man this video is very helpful. My phone signal went out the other day for 2 days straight and I built a sattelite I could catch better signal with the sattelite from my porch but I want to try to bring that signal indoors. Does the wifi ranger router transmit that signal from the sattelite to indoors?

[@heribertoortiz7011]

Is it worth 800 bucks

[@xenaswolf]

Your camera does not like that hot box. Everytime you picked it up there was electrical interference. Good review.

[@MrRickb04]

Tim, great video. Two questions for you... 1. If you were to raise your Wi Fi ranger antenna on a higher mast would your signal be better? 2. Have you tried the signal at night when there should be fewer users using it? Thanks and take care.

[@TimothySunday]

Higher doesn't always mean better. Line of sight is more powerful than altitude. Not sure what you mean when using it at night. Usually, I see the greatest dips in wifi speed at campgrounds between 6-9pm when most people are online. Adding in the internet from multiple sources really helps with this.

[@fastlink]

Great video. How do you get the company to collaborate with you? I never get any response from any company. Do you have like a special letter that you got done professionally?

[@bigk777]

I've noticed that alot of has to do with subscribers / viewers. He has ~40k subscribed to his channel. I took a glance at your profile and you have about 450 subscribers. My guess is that where the problem lies. Good luck.

[@rm1floyd]

I was wondering how you managed your connectivity. Thanks for the answer.

[@TimothySunday]

It's working really well. Also, on the version I have I can actually connect to 2 seperate wifi networks AND my cell hotspot.

How can i access my college wifi from 1km away?

[@DaveMerc]

Cool, I was wondering how you were going to overcome that obstacle.

[@DaveMerc]

Yes that is a sweet setup! I had no idea such a thing existed.

[@chrisnoles1774]

Tim, I previously used an extender that only worked with public wifi that had username and password only, would I be able to use the Ranger with public wifi that requires you to acknowledge use via a webpage? Basically clicking a box to accept terms no username or password?

[@TimothySunday]

yes. and their interface can even be setup to do that for you

[@nssdesigns]

Thumbs up from me. Tell me more about this off grid "Digital Nomad Life"... also this would be good for live aboard sailboat people pulling marina Wi-Fi... interesting.

[@TimothySunday]

YES! It would be AMAZING for marinas since there is great line of site. Also, on the version I have, I can actually connect to 2 separate wifi networks AND my cell hotspot.

[@MegaMilstein]

@@TimothySunday I’m seeking a WiFi ext for our sailboat in mex and found your video. RV and boat living are cousins 😊

[@dustydee8342]

So you could be in Walmart parking lot using many different wifi networks and have very fast internet free

[@realdenzity2144]

What wifi plan do you use? are you called at 28 from the extender? Or is that your plan. I have a GIG plan and easily can get to these speeds but I really need an extender to go out to our outhosuse

[@froclitymorilibitytolasity158]

Try it succefuly great

[@Its303AcidBass]

Yes! I want my wifi signal to shoot across town! It would be so rad.

[@supertech0077]

Holy crap!

[@NightmarezTV]

Is the antena water proof?

[@TimothySunday]

Yes

[@joethecomputerguy1]

Hope you (and now anyone who watches this) understand the difference between Load Balancing and bonding. WFR does not bond. So that means the speed you see from your test was only from one connector and based on the screen shot you show it was from Sprint. Any one device that connects to the WFR will utilize one and only one connector. In your setup that would be Sprint OR the campground wifi not the two of them together. A router that performs bonding will be considerably more expensive.

[@georgefenrich4119]

THEN TIM NEED TO TAKE THIS VIDEO DOWN AND REDO IT. I WAS READY TO BUY BUT NOW IM NOT GOING TO. THANKS

[@BoostedNW]

Exactly, Load balancing does not combine links, Only balances between links choosing the one with the least load. Combining multiple links would be bonding or also called link aggregation.

[@jacobrhampton]

FYI Mbps is megabits per second. That's 1/8th of a megabyte.

[@djsyndkutbrianfrost9643]

I get it internet...but your camping sure wish I had that with me...camping a hard trust between internet friends n the good old dirt n logs...smores n stories ohhhh...its craxy but we do need wifi internet...I agree just camping find that one....

[@coryphilip]

why use the clickbait "Wifi from 2 miles" At the very end of this video you briefly mention it reaches 2 miles.. with no actual test or anything. thanks f n

[@JayTwizzle]

Ok, to sum up. 1) Set up Ranger on roof 2) Run wire into RV 3) Plug wire into ethernet port on router 4) Find your network using Ranger software 5) Voilà! Internet.

[@stevecarlisle3323]

Hmmmm, combining multiple weak AP,s into your antenna to produce one strong AP. Tell us in technical terms exactly how that works. 🤔

[@w5oy]

You can’t do that! CRAZY

[@clisez3535]

Wait.. I wonder if there was 100000 miles wifi ranger. I would go to space! People who just got to to China.”Am gonna get WiFi!”

[@GEAUXFRUGAL]

Be careful with all this radio signals. It will burn your brain 😂 joking

[@mmanut]

Why the heck would you use Sprint for your hot spot service ?? Sprint is the slowest, less coverage and the worst Customer Service. If The merger with T-Mobile goes thru you will Luck Out. Sprint by themselves is Terrible.

[@markelthomas1996]

[@craigieb]

Great video. Mbps is megaBITS per second, not megbytes. :)

[@trondyne3513]

That "antenna" looks very omnidirectional... if so you're spreading your gain and Tx all over the place instead of to/from your target....

[@teon39]

Trondyne this setup doesn’t transmit it just receives so that’s not an issue. The router on the inside is the only thing that transmits.

[@mrstarfire9336]

Megabits ..Not megabytes.. 5 Megabytes would be 50 megabits....Huge difference

[@BugCrush3r]

@13:31 its MegaBits per sec not MegaBytes per sec LOL big difference
