Mobile Internet for RVers, Cruisers & Nomads Overview - Cellular, Wi-Fi & Satellite (2021)

[@arreyrvparkllcjanmccravey7651]

You folks serve a very important service for those of us yearning for and learning how to join the nomadic lifestyle but still need to work a job remotely and consistently! Thank you for your research!!

[@ayeartovolunteer]

You guys rock! We picked up the Visible SIM for our old Sprint iPhone and signed on to your party pay. It has saved our bacon at 2 projects so far this year where our FMCA Tech Connect + Sprint/T-Mobile access was non-existent or less than stellar. 5mbps down and up hotspotting our Visible is plenty for us to stream/do work and even upload videos. Now on the hunt for that elusive AT&T plan that gets us back up as a tertiary! Thanks again guys!

[@manatee419]

You are doing a good job for the RV community.

[@Carneyidaho]

Thank you SO much for a great, explanative, clear presentation. I will check out more videos. Changing Lanes sent me!

[@davidmejia7908]

We travel full-time and I work remotely. Started with a Mofi router and Verizon SIM and were not happy since Verizon capped data. Ended up changing to an InstyConnect antenna/router with a Visible card and have been very pleased. I would say over the last year there have only been 2 times when I was not able to get a signal (or was very weak) but those were dead spots and nobody was able to get anything, not even those with satellite. Not saying it's the best for everyone but we have been extremely pleased with the set-up - 2 laptops, ipads and phones as well as a streaming box.

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

Visible is a great plan, but it's not authorized for use in routers - so this could be enforced at some point in the future. It's also very low priority and subject to high ping times, not making it ideal for some needs. More on the plan: www.rvmobileinternet.com/visible

[@jayneak7011]

I jumped on the T-Mobile 5G Inseego cellular mobile router deal you mentioned in Dec 2020. 100GB per month for $50. Love Love this router and speed. Thank you for keeping us informed.

What is your opinion on the I see go MIFI M20100 5G UW FROM VERIZON

[@michaelsmith-qp8fe]

M2100

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

We consider it obsolete now - here's our review: www.rvmobileinternet.com/gear/overview-mifi-m2100-5g-ultra-wideband-by-inseego-mobile-hotspot/

[@harleyd500]

Thanks for all the info. We ended up with a cricket data plan. I did notice that our WeBoost seemed to reduce its download speed through their provided hotspot. So confusing! It does still help our phones though.

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

Indeed, boosters are not always effective for data - check out the linked MIMO vs Boosters video : www.rvmobileinternet.com/cellsignal

[@THE_ORIGINAL_I-SEARCHdotFUN]

Hello again. I asked one or 2 questions about a week ago. Let me try again. 1. you mentioned Verizon MiFi. I have Verizon MiFi 2100. 399.00 I think. What was the 100.00 cheaper and newer than the 2100? 2. Can these units be used internationally? I opened my mifi 2100 and found it has a sim card. Verizon Rep thought as I it has a fixed sim card. Those 2 questions and answers will be a big help. Great Channel...Thanks

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

You left those questions on a recent video covering the Orbic Speed 5G - which we answered there.

[@lgroschiensalle]

Nice van. Is that a Promaster? Also, what do you guys recommend for ad blocking at the network level?

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

Yes, our van is a Winnebago Travato, built on the Promaster. We focus on the ways to get online, not what you do online once there.. so don't track ad blocking.

[@lgroschiensalle]

@@MobileInternetResourceCenter No problem. Thanks, and great videos!

Our Keystone Cougar came with a Winegard Air 360+ antenna. Considering purchasing the Gateway GW-1000 Router with a Verizon cell/data plan. Is this system worth the cost or is there a better option?

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

All depends on your needs - we cover this hardware here and have it in testing now that will be shared with our members: www.rvmobileinternet.com/gear/winegard-air-360/

[@tracykay1230]

Great overview. I watched almost all your videos. I understand you recommended the Netgear 6000450 MIMO Antenna in a previous video. However, I was wondering if there are other options. Would you do a video to compare these options?

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

There are a bunch of options - our guide to cellular antennas: www.rvmobileinternet.com/cellularantennas

[@its_smac]

amazing info! wow

[@harleyd500]

Great info and very informative. We currently have cricket with the turbo booster but it glitches a lot while streaming content and hangs up with our computers. Streaming from our iPhones is flawless so I am considering a Verizon jetpack wifi 8800l and their new 150gb plan. Does anyone know by any chance if the 8800 will work with our weboost cell booster? The turbo that came with the cricket did not benefit from the booster. Is the 8800 the recommended hot spot or is there another device that is better. Thanks again!

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

Here's our review of the 8800: www.rvmobileinternet.com/8800l And our guide to boosters: www.rvmobileinternet.com/boosters (boosters don't often benefit download speeds)

[@steventoney4018]

can you show a video on your new van antenna mounting and placement and running cables???.. I did join as a member of your site...

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

We'll likely be covering that on our personal channel over at Technomadia at some point.

[@steventoney4018]

thanks.. I have a Travato 2022 GL on order -- pick up in May and I'm planning for the communication systems and other mods..

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

Our model year came with conduit, which makes running cables easy :)

Great Video! Would you please help me with internet? I do not have internet available at home other than cellular hotspot with Verizon and MiFi. Trouble is, when RVing we take this on the road. We have a security and video system at home, but since we use cellular, we have no router to plug them into. Is there a router device that would work on cellular only, that will allow us to be able to plug devices into at home while we are away? Thanks again.

Great overview. Have been following your videos which are super helpful. We live overseas but will be moving back to the US in a couple of months and will live in a van. We are thinking of getting 2 Visible plans to use as our mobile hotspots. We won't be working from the road so just need internet for e-mail, trip planning and entertainment. Our present mobile phones are not compatible with Visible so we need to buy 2 phones. Is it worth the extra cost to get a phone with 5G? And should we consider getting just one Visible plan and a ATT plan to have better coverage? Thanks!

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

Totally depends on your unique needs.. if you're a member, please do post in the forums and our team will be happy to help guide you.

Hey guys - I am at Verizon and just purchased the 8800 ? Where do you plug in the Mimo? The two grey holes are solid? Lol -

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

The "grey holes" are two small rubber covers for the antenna ports, you need to gently remove them.

[@cherylparrish1179]

@@MobileInternetResourceCenter you are awesome !!! I would not give up and showed them your video! Lol then they used a SIM card removal tool and tweezers-- I am in business! I love you two! Thank you for sharing so much with us!!! I am your number one fan!

As you see Star Link applied with the FCC for MOBIL licenses today, cars, ships and planes. Statement made by Star Link is installing must be done by professionals Yet the electronics is exactly the same??? Mine will be glued to the roof as we roll down the highways.LOL.

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

The FCC treats mobile and fixed installations differently, hence why Starlink needs approval for mobile use.

What are you hearing about "Nomad Internet"?

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

They're a typical 3rd Party Reseller - covered here: www.rvmobileinternet.com/unlimited

[@dwmcever]

This is for aircraft, ships, large trucks & RVs,” Musk tweeted.

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

Referencing Starlink - indeed, Elon Musk confirmed yesterday that the required antenna is too large to be practical on normal passenger vehicles.

[@dwmcever]

@@MobileInternetResourceCenter The hint being Mobile Starlink coming. Probably after Beta.. ;-)

you forgot about dish

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

Dish currently only offers satellite TV service. They are still building their cellular network.

[@SoundAdvice6725]

Fellow KZbinr: Creativity RV touts Nomad Internet. Have you tried it?

[@MobileInternetResourceCenter]

They are just one of the many 3rd party resellers mentioned in this video (who happen to aggressively market via influencers). All of the warnings apply, and we've fielded many issues with them over the past year of plan terminations, spontaneous price increases, etc.
