    I just my insty back out as well. Now to start using it again, especially if T-Mobile follows thru with their pricing plan. I have a T-Mobile data only plan that I use in the Insty, but you're right. The Tmobile "home internet" was much easier to use. No need to setup a antenna, pole, plug the USB cable in, etc. However, 160/month is costly. Good video Dave. Stay FRESH!

      I don't think so. If they actually have a GPS inside (a rumor but a well founded rumor) then they would use GPS to track where the modem is. VPN can't fix that.

    I think it is way too much too! I still can't get over the fact that we are in such an age of technology that we have some crazy wild advances, but they can't make an internet/cell service that works everywhere under all conditions. Been crazy rainy here too. Just had some storms earlier. Rain 2-3" in a very short time. Flooded everything 🙄 What a pain. They couldn't have sent a unit that was already updated? Well it's good you got it up and running. Hopefully it will work for you. Guess you'll probably need to move around for a while until you know how well it will work. Nice "so far" update.

  • @evankalbach9985
    @evankalbach9985 4 місяці тому +1

    Can you manually switch to say verizon or tbombile on the router to see which one is better. Not sure if att was the only provider where you are right now. Would be nice in the ui of the box to look at who has best signal. You could put external antennas on top of rv at some point to which might improve things even more.

    • @rvfamilylife
      @rvfamilylife  4 місяці тому

      unfortunately I have to be able to contact ConnecTen office to get the router to manually switch. It's currently designed to auto-pick the best signal in the area. I have some directional antenna, I just need a flag-pole/tower.

      @@rvfamilylife Thats a shame - a UI for ease of switching would be great! I picked up a T-Mobile Internet 5 days ago due to a Verizon tower issue at our location - I heard 'rumor' of the 'Away Plan', so now I am waiting to read all release info tomorrow before I take it back in favor of 'another alternative'. As you, I am full time RV and Full time IT - I got to have reliable redundancy and no less than 600GB of data a month. Looking forward to updated review or your Connecten experience.

      @@santalandchannel983 I remember when I put in a new wifi router at our house before we went Fulltime, and we were using close to 2TB per month. Blows my mind these internet companies want to cap the data usage, at the same time they want the refrigerator, the dryer, the doorbell, desk lamp and your pet to all have wifi connections.

I think a sharp knife cuts the cleanest, so I offer direct and to the point advice. My comments are not personal attacks, basically they are direct customer feedback.
