I use a pep wave max transit duo and have issues with using that device with a roof mounted antenna to talk to campground WiFi and power everything in the camper. As soon as I dedicated the transit to power the router/cell/WiFi WAN and got a separate AP inside, powered by the same 12v I had amazing coverage.
I did a diy solution for running ubnt gear in my RV. 12v -> buck boost converter -> 24v -> passive PoE injector -> ubnt Came out to less than $17 to implement it. I have a ubnt airmax I think it is that I use to get wifi vs the built in radio of my max transit. That plugs into my wan port pre-poe injection. From there I've been able to pick up a solid wifi connection from 1/2 mile away since it's pretty directional. Haven't tested further than that, so far. Was able to pick up signal from the ranger station at the opposite end of the state park without issue.
That's a different approach optimizing for getting WiFi as WAN (ie. setting up a CPE)... the AP One solution being discussed here is for extending your LAN.
@@MobileInternetResourceCenter indeed. I actually have both an AP inside and the outdoor one. Works great but definitely requires some technical knowledge. I'm an engineer by trade so that's why I did my own.
Good video, very informative. Personally I sent my deposit to starlink, as soon as it's released for RV/Marine use many of these internet devices will be a thing of the past, thats my opinion.
For most, we don't agree... unless you'll be exclusively parked in remote areas with absolute clear line of site. Even so, an access point can be useful with any router.

Indeed - asking a single radio to do double duty is really not ideal.
I don't need a huge setup! But just to Geek out...oh yeah I'd do it. Helps me with upgrading my system next to Pepwave 5 pro

The MAX Transit can not be powered over POE.

This is a pretty advanced high geek video - recommend starting with our beginner content. Rvmobileinternet.com/getting-started
