Looks like a great package for long haul travelers. Glad to see someone doing this sort of thing to combine different carriers into a single package. Hope to hear how it works for you long term!

[@GratefulGlamper]

So far so good! We’ve been using it for about a month now.

[@mrmotofy]

PEPLINK has been around for quite a while. These guys just install em

[@currybryan1]

We’ve had the peplink BR1 5G router for 6 or 8 months with the external pep wave antenna along with the High performance Starlink dish. We absolutely love it. I work from remote and this setup allows us to go on long haul trips well before retirement. The BR1 only allows hot failover of one cell provider but does support up to two providers with manual failover. We have Starlink and Verizon set up in a bond for my work and are considering adding T-Mobile home so the it can be added as a third bond member using WiFi over wan. We’ve not needed it so far but it’s a low cost option if needed. We went the BR1 5G as it did all we needed but was less than half the cost of the BR2.

[@oldfartsadventure]

This is wonderful but probably beyond the reach of most full timers, not to mention those of us who are retired and go out for a few months at a time. Connectivity is important to me, but when you add up the equipment cost, sim plans, and Starlink it become way out of our league.

[@GratefulGlamper]

It’s certainly not for everyone! We’ve had several situations where we didn’t have the connectivity needed to be online for work (and uploading videos for y’all). For us, this is the best setup to accomplish our goals. We just wanted to show what is possible for those that need reliable internet on the road.

Starlink can be paused at any time. You only pay for months when you’re on the road.

[@grahamjgreen]

I realize everyone's needs are different (it's just me for example), but I've lived full-time on the road for two and a half years. I work in IT as a DevOps engineer and use a combination of a VIsible account with the sim card in a Netgear M1 router and an external antenna (not a cell booster), and Starlink (which I added 12 months ago so I could get more remote). Even with being throttled to 5Mbs on Visible (although that's about to change with their network upgrade), not once have not I been able to get my work done, including joining daily Teams meetings. It boggles my mind that some people need to spend thousands of dollars on equipment and cell providers.

[@XCX237]

I would have starlink. I like the fact that starlink you can do yourself. No need for an expensive installer.

That sounds so good for a family that spends hours driving, and everyone needs to do some screen time, and your navigation stays online. I don't know why people have had problems with you not having a TV for the family. I'm turning 46, and while growing up, there were times my family didn't have a TV, and that was before the smaller screens of today.😂 OH, and I like Ben's new word 'automagic' . It should be a thing if it's not all ready.

Yeah, it’s not for everyone, but those that need reliability for working from the road like us, this is one of the best setups out there. We’ve been very happy with it and wish we would have done it sooner.

[@jimedwards2621]

Charity & Ben, I have watched a number of your videos over the past few months and I genuinely enjoy and appreciate the content that you provide. Thanks so much for sharing all the info that you have and for helping those who pursue the RV lifestyle, in whatever form, to do so intelligently. In this video on your new internet setup, 1) I am genuinely happy that you found a solution for your connectivity issues and shared it but 2) feel that this content was so short on useful information that it was, more or less, a marketing video for West Networks. Those of us wanting information on solving internet connectivity issues would like to know details, such as what equipment was used and the overall and component costs of the setup. If, for instance, you used the BR2 Peplink, why that device as compared to others offered? Which antennas were used and were they all cellular, or some wifi, etc.? Why were there 4 of them? What other equipment, if any, is necessary but not shown here? I suspect cost was avoided in order to not sticker shock some looking at these solutions, but it would be easy enough to say "This system is sized for full-timer, high-availability and higher bandwidth needs and costs approximately $xxxxx as installed, but there are many other solutions available depending on your needs and your spending thresholds. Contact West Networks for more info." West Networks could have possibly mentioned some less-robust options that are available. You have always, in your other videos, entertainingly given the whys and wherefores, along with how to get the best bang for the buck. It is what makes your channel so helpful and fun to watch. I was disappointed that this one outing deviated from that format. Nonetheless, I look forward to seeing you both in upcoming videos and, just maybe, one day running into you on the road. Jim

So much overkill for the regular traveler. I worked from home and never had problems just using a hot spot after consulting a coverage and signal strength map. I always made sure before making a reservation that where I wanted to stay would give me the service I needed to be able to work.

[@LuvMyCardiKids]

@@GratefulGlamper so is a regular old cell phone hot spot in a covered area.

[@courtenayblair2279]

The reason it's not an issue for you is because you limit your travels to where you have signal and there's nothing wrong with that...but that's not the case for everyone. The antenna gives you better coverage in remote areas. Peplink gives you the ability to use cellular, satellite or copper, or WIFI as WAN to feed your network so you aren't reliant on one uplink. You can bond those uplinks for faster speeds. There's more but basically, hotspots are fine if you're ok with network limitations or work arounds. Network are more reliable and consistent but costly.

Internet is my biggest concern with full time stationary rv living. Its why ive hesitated with jumping into it. However I like the idea of not having to pack when my job changes location

It is one of the biggest challenges while living the RV life, which is why we went this route so we do not have issues again in the future. Reliability is important for us and is a must and this gives us the flexibility we need for our travel needs.

No regrets! For example, we’ve been boondocking for the week in WI and several people in our group have mentioned having issues with their internet with the amount of people here - we’ve been blazing along!

[@Colkillswitch]

A very informative video that re-enforces other videos we have seen, thank you. I may be off base with my comment, but thought I would ask. We have watched several KZbin RV folks and we realize that "multiple RV internet solutions including cell and Starlink are best" and that "Pepwave routers with fusion, bonding and smoothing are the best". Many folks do RV trips that are months, but don't have the resources that many of the RV KZbin folks have (the setup you just showed is over $1500 initially and monthly a BUNCH). We are about to do a four month trip from New Mexico to Montana, and just need internet to do a little online work (connecting with a company server to login and do a little work) and streaming some videos. If we have a few stops that don't have connectivity, it is not the end of the world. We don't boon dock and stay at RV camps and resorts. What should we use?

[@GratefulGlamper]

Either t-mobile or Verizon in your case is probably best.

[@mjmlcmaolcom]

Can you explain more detail why you chose 2 different size antennas and white vs black? What are the differences between these antennas? Do you need a separate antennas for each sim in the peplink?

[@GratefulGlamper]

The color was mainly because that is what they had in stock at the time and I wasn’t needing any certain color. All four of them do Cellular (either two LTE connections or one 5G connection per antenna), all of them do GPS, but we only use it from one of them (and a second one is there as a backup, but we cut the rest of the GPS wires) and the big one also does WiFi so we have a great signal inside the rig and outside. The Mobility 40G is the smaller one, 42G is the bigger one. Let me know if you have any other questions, and you can also get free advice based on your set up at buypeplink.com. You can call them at 352-316-7701. Great people!

[@TheFirearmada]

@@GratefulGlamper I had this question as well and just want to clarify how you are using the Antennas. As each antenna has 4 LTE cables and MAX BR2 Pro has 8 LTE inputs. Why only use half of each antenna? You stated that 2 LTE per or 1 5G so are you only plugging in 2 connecters per Antenna? Just a little confused on that part of the install. Great setup tho.

[@halliard1117]

I have been looking at various options and Peplink model you showed is one. I'm not sure why all the antennas as they have a single antenna that will work with that unit. It looks as if they set you up with antennas, and it suggests that there are multiple modems feeing the Peplink unit. But you showed using the four sim cards as being placed into the Peplink unit. That unit is a few grand, so pricey. There are more reasonable options for the general user that isn't working on the road. Yes, they may lose bonding or require swapping cards and do need more user interaction.That is not seamless. Last I remember is there was a license fee for the speed fusion too. Thought that was a renewable thing, but I could be mistaken. If I am able to move into the IT only (currently I am a mix breed of electronics with high demand on the onsite IT support), then this would be worth the extra costs as I will be remotely accessing networks, etc. Also, I am looking at the mobile Starlink ($250 a month service plan) and fabricating an easy-to-remove antenna platform. That way if trees are blocking the roof, it is a simple unlatching and using adapters like you showed, change it to a mobile mount.

AND, what was the connect that was run on top of the roof to the back? Lot of noise around here, may have missed it. Very informative and thank you for making this video

[@GratefulGlamper]

I added a few extra antennas to improve signal on the WI-FI Hotspots I had in addition to the sims (for example for the Project Genisis (Dish) Netgear Nighthawk M6 Pro as WAN connections to the Peplink Br2. The connection running to the back is the shielded Starlink cable that allows me to connect to the peplink up front. I have the Starlink router in bridge mode.

It depends on your needs. If you aren’t dependent on internet for work, then one might suffice (you can also get the smaller router). But if you are like us who needs reliable connectivity for working on the road, it’s best to have multiple carriers and the BR2 router like we have.

[@paulzedeck7448]

I've been doing Cybersecurity for over 20 years now and this video just makes me sad. It makes me want to retire as soon as humanly possible because once again THE MOST IMPORTANT part of the installation was NOT COVERED. The peplink solution looks great as network edge agrogator but in reviewing the specs the security on it is weak at best. BUT it doesn't have to be because it's mission in life is load balancer, NAG/LAG, and (LOL) proprietary VPN. Consider the RV environment vs a residential environment. The RV environment is dynamic and you don't know who is 50 ft from you. Your Class A Coach looks like a tempting target with that star link dish and your peplink MAX BR2 Pro can run DOCKER!!! You have basically told the entire internet in this video that your RV can host MALWARE, be a point for man in the middle attacks, and g-d knows what else Docker is supporting these days. (NOTE: Docker doesn't support hacking but like any tool it can be used for good and evil.) So PLEASE lock your system down. If your not going to run Python or Docker disable them in the Peplink Os. Make your attack surface as small as possible AND install a firewall between the Peplink and your RV LAN. Isolate your WIFI Into a separate VLAN with static routing to only the Peplink. Hardline Cat 5e/6 connections should be on a separate VLAN and routed accordingly. USE MULTI FACTOR authentication for any access to your network that has elevated privileges to make you as frustrating a target as possible so the attacker will move onto the easier ones in the campground. If I can get access to Discovery5 or Discovery2.4 by brute forcing my way past the WAP WPA single factor authentication and the admin account(s) on your LAN are equally vulnerable your toast and won't even know it. CYBERSECURITY is important not just because attackers want your personal information (that's still a thing) but for the resources and opportunities you provide them to go after bigger targets. Or use your bandwidth and server hosting (that's part of what you installed in your RV) to run anything from a porn site to a dark net relay. Your main risk factors are always being on and the operating environment. That SpeeedFusion link only protects data in transit between the WAN to Internet to Peplink Cloud POP. Your still vulnerable from internet attacks, the environments you travel, and frankly your own family. Especially kids! Believe me my Son both loves and hates that I work in Cybersecurity. The number one priority in the video was "availability". I ask you to consider confidentiality and integrity of your network as other factors that support availability. If availability is truly as important as you say then PLEASE take Cybersecurity seriously. If your passing through Colorado I'm more than happy to do a end to end risk assessment with you. I also strongly recommend reaching out to ISC(2) to do a video on Cybersecurity with them for the RV community.

Minus the cost for installation & equipment, if you don't mind, what is the total monthly for your internet service (Version/AT&T/T-Mobile/Starlink)?

[@GratefulGlamper]

With Starlink around $250, without Starlink about $150 cheaper - we only add Starlink when needed and don’t have it “turned on” all the time.

[@nanlindstrom8352]

Hi-how is the new internet service working for you? We are full-time RVers and I also need to have a dependable internet. We have contacted West Networks to have an install. I video conference, stream, etc. for my work. Any issues you have run into? Thank you. We love your channel😊 Nan Lindstrom-M&N’s Retirement Tour.

How expensive was this system and how many cell providers do you subscribe to?

[@GratefulGlamper]

Here is the system we put in. gratefulglamper.com/ultimateinternet We have Verizon, T-Mobile, ATT, Project Genisis (as a $20/month hotspot we take with us). We have Starlink roam that we only activate as needed. This setup has been very reliable for us so far.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Sounds interesting!

[@alfa8822]

Do you have to pay for multiple cellular phone/data plans for each carrier? That would be expensive!

[@GratefulGlamper]

We do, however it’s critical for us working from the road to have reliable internet and having multiple carriers will give the reliability. We haven’t had an issue with getting connected since we’ve implemented this new set up.

[@dianadery5037]

Do you still need star link? I just watched the part where it’s still being used? Confused

[@GratefulGlamper]

Yes, We have the Starlink roam plan for RVers as a backup option In the case the cellular connections aren’t the best. If I’m in a place where all cell connections aren’t the best, I can activate Starlink. I have it setup to where I can just plug it in the side of the rv and it’s ready to go. I can also activate it for a month if I want to add to my current connections to give me more speed/reliability. It’s all about having more reliable options for us since we work from the road. Right now we have it activated where we are and also have decent cell coverage for Tmoble, AT&T and Verizon and I’m getting 243 down and 104 upload speeds.

Does this void your Flex Armor warranty since you drilled into your roof?

[@GratefulGlamper]

No because we took it back to RV Roof to have it resprayed over the mounts

[@robsonline6764]

@@GratefulGlamper That is good to know. We are about to have our Flex Armor done on our 5th wheel due to roof damage, but want to have solar installed in the next year or so. Thanks!!

[@nedawilmhoff3599]

I’m wondering why you are keeping Starlink with the new system and the hotspots? Are these just antennas?

[@bojangles3147]

Pretty much, still looks like they are dependent on towers for cellular. Gotta think think it’s only a different channel or megahertz and how long until it’s busy to.

[@GratefulGlamper]

We do have Starlink Roam (you can pause and unpause service) as a backup that we can activate as an option if all carriers aren't working well (like we experienced in Page Arizona, lol). The cord you saw installed on the side of the rig is to plug in the Starlink if needed. This connection goes to the router in a Wan ethernet port on the Peplink device which allows us to add it to the mix of connections for better reliability/speed via SpeedFusion if needed. However, I foresee us keeping Roam paused most of the time unless we need the extra boost or reliability for a month during a project.

I'm sorry, that's the most crude installation I've seen, looks really expensive too. All of the sealant dripping off the wires is just plain ugly. It appears the screws are not stainless, rusting already. My dual mimo antenna with my dual SIM PepWave was a much cleaner installation, which I installed myself, and it works great. The Starlink connector they installed was good though, kudos on that.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Great job on your Peplink install! I’m sure it looks amazing. Btw, That dripping is from the spray on roof material that we sprayed over the boxes to keep things sealed (that’s my main concern). We are very happy with the outcome and have given us some great internet so far.

[@saraparent6018]

So please forgive me if this is a rude question. I have been watching your channel for a few years now, you mention that you and Ben have jobs as you travel. Does that mean that you are working full time for your KZbin channel or do you both have other jobs as well as KZbin? The reason I ask is I would like to travel as well as be able to still work. If you are working other jobs, what are they? I’m not asking what company you work for just the job title. Keep up the great work you do for KZbin. I really look forward to all of your videos.

[@remote.inspired]

I’m not sure I understand the cost of speed fusion. I’ve been looking into it, as I would like to set mine up for it, but don’t understand how the pricing works. We use about 500GB of data per month. (Mostly download). So would that mean I need the 10TB or 20Tb- and I would get 3 years to use it all up?

[@GratefulGlamper]

Reach out to West Networks for more info.

[@currybryan1]

If you don’t need speed fusion for everything (most don’t) you can set up speed fusion with a separate network name and only use it where it’s needed. I only use it for my work laptop and have never used more that the free amount. FYI: streaming services not only don’t need speed fusion (they buffer on their own) but some of them don’t like VPN’s and will complain.
