  • UPDATE (Dec 2020) - The data plans offered via Mobile Must Have changed since the time of this post. The Verizon plans are no longer available and the AT&T plans are no longer unlimited but capped at 500GB. At the moment this is still the highest data allowance out there and 500GB is way more than enough for the vast majority of people. But it is NOT unlimited.

    We live in and work out of our RV full time on the road, so we need reliable, rock-solid Internet! Accomplishing this on the road, moving every couple of weeks, is not without its challenges.
    If you saw our last internet video, you know that it was over two years ago! While this setup has served us well, we were ready for something with more capability without as many setup challenges.

    For entry-level mobile internet, rather than a jetpack or hotspot, there's a much more flexible option in the Pepwave MAX BR1 MINI! (changinglanesrv.com/mmh-br1-mini) The MINI is Pepwave's entry-level device and it can accept SIM cards for AT&T or Verizon (and T-Mobile). In fact, it accepts TWO SIM cards at the same time, allowing you to switch back and forth (manually via the management interface) between the two. Pair the Mini with an unlimited data plan and you've got a little more flexibility if you plan on using two carriers as we do.

      Way too complicated for this person, but maybe the hot spot and router with booster. We are getting ready to full time. When we were camping the last 2 years, we had a terrible time getting cell or internet. I feel it is imperative to be as connected as i can in case of personal or national, etc. emergencies like weather, quakes, and fires. We live now with fires, and internet can save lives. We thought we were out of the woods one year, and unpacking when i suddenly had 4 messages and 2 calls saying to leave, now! Then the firemen showed up, same message. We left in our slippers, only half packed with no place to go! That's when we bought a truck and trailer! After 4 terrifying evacuations, we haven't had one since we bought the trailer. But you never know. You sleep with an ear open all summer and fall. So, we are leaving asap. But, i must have cell and internet for some peace of mind. Thank you.

    Hey guys, you have me absolutely hooked. Chad, I love your how-to videos, I've learned so much from watching you, I hope to be able to put it to use in another year. I also love that even though it's behind a panel or under the floor you still leave it with a finished look. People I used to work with would say "Can't see it from my front porch", I always figured that if it fails and it's left clean and tidy you can find the fault easier. I also find that if it's left clean and tidy it's less likely to fail. Tara, I put you on the same pedestal as my sister-in-law, she was diagnosed with chronic lyme disease about 14 years ago, she says just getting out of bed takes all she has, so nothing but good vibes to you dear, you make Chad look better, you know it's true Bro'.

    For entry-level mobile internet, rather than a jetpack or hotspot, there's a much more flexible option in the Pepwave MAX BR1 MINI! (changinglanesrv.com/mmh-br1-mini) The MINI is Pepwave's entry-level device and it can accept SIM cards for AT&T or Verizon (and T-Mobile). In fact, it accepts TWO SIM cards at the same time, allowing you to switch back and forth (manually via the management interface) between the two. Pair the Mini with an unlimited data plan and you've got a little more flexibility if you plan on using two carriers as we do.

      Running longer cables does NOT increase impedance. The impedance of your setup will be and always remain either 50 ohms or 75 ohms, depending on the antenna (which must match the impedance of the cables and device).
      Running longer cables increases resistance. Resistance is not the same as impedance.

    I am a 70-year-old disabled man and along with my 75-year-old girlfriend, makeup 'Golden Years Traveling'. Due to the many doctors' appointments, Diana and I each must go to, it is not possible for us to travel fulltime. Due to trying to build a UA-cam Channel and needing to stay in touch with all of our Doctors, it is very important to have the best internet service, at a decently priced investment opportunity.
    This video has given us good information and direction to achieve this project. Thank you, Chad, for taking the time to explain how you have set-up a very good system to run your businesses. All of your instructional videos are super to follow and are easy to follow. Thank you, Steve & Diana.

      You must be stupid either that or you know absolutely nothing about mobile phones or computers because it is one of the easiest things in the world to set up a hotspot on your smartphone because all you have to do is set your smartphone up to look for a connection (you might have to use wifi for this?) and enter a password either one chosen by the phone like mine did which is the Galaxy S7 edge or one you have chosen yourself and that's all and YES it is that simple so I can't see what your problems are unless of course you do not have a smartphone in which case you should either get a smartphone or forget the whole thing because you can only set up a mobile hotspot from a smartphone

    Yikes! This was SO informative. I am a part-time vandweller who typically boondocks. I use T-Mobile at home (as we have 5 phones on a plan, and it is the least expensive) and I use a pre-paid Verizon hotspot when I'm traveling (plus T-Mobile, of course). I have had an extremely variable experience using a Wilson amplifier, and thanks to you and Technomadia, I now know why. You covered everything in a clear, very organized way, and despite watching a lot of videos I feel that I learned a thing or two. You are a great teacher!

    Great timing and excellent information. I’m in the middle of upgrading my RV internet from a WifiRanger setup similar to yours and this is just what I needed. Also, it helped that you mentioned your experience with campground WiFi as I was still stuck in the mindset that campground WiFi is the best way to go. I don’t know why that was so hard for me to figure out as I’ve only been in one (maybe two) campgrounds where I could stream Internet video reliability. Also, I have AT&T configured iPhones and I really didn’t want to have to switch to another carrier to get better roving Internet. It sounds like yours is a near perfect solution. Again, thanks!

    Fantastic video guys (and super thanks for the shoutout to our work at MobileInternetInfo.com). Super glad that we could point you to the Pepwave MAX Transit Duo solution - that thing really changed the market when it debuted at consumer level pricing back in September. And it's our current personal setup. Before that, dual modem cellular router gear like that was priced out of reach of so many. And the folks at MobileMustHave are amazing in providing easy one-stop shopping and listing to our preferred paired kits based on our field testing - we've loved being able to send our members there after they're settled on their options.

Keep up the good work.

  • @WillBelden
    @WillBelden 4 роки тому +2

    A few weeks ago, we ordered the same setup. (Feels good, for once, to know that we didn't *copy* from your videos, but instead arrived at the same setup. "Great minds..." and all that.) Andy at MobileMustHave was absolutely, hands-down amazing in answering my pre-sales technical questions. I'm guessing you ordered yours much sooner, as we are not likely to receive out Road Warrior bundle until mid-July. (At which point we'll be in Sturgis! Spending the month *before* the official dates, leaving on official day #2.)
    Difference for us will be the installation location. We will likely try to be more centered in the rig. We ripped out the 5-banger sofa, put in a two-person desk. (399TH, so I think our living room and kitchen are swapped from your floor plan.) All the communications are behind the living room TV. The original owner put his WifiRanger and WeBoost behind the TV. I will be expanding upon that. Installing a 16 outlet (2.5" long) power bar, probably mounted to the TV! In the top of the cabinet above the TV is our Drobo, which we've had for years. Couldn't live w/o it. Holes drilled down through the cabinets for the Cat6 and power cable. The WifiRanger is getting ripped out in favor of the 7-wire antenna and Pepwave Duo Transit Max. That will, in whatever configuration, provide the WAN for our Asus RT-AC66U router. Yes, it's another hop, but has been very good to us so far, because the WifiRanger... it's been spotty. And for us, when there IS no campground wifi (we've been fairly fortunate thus far), I have the WifiRanger use our T-Mobile hotspot as the Internet source. (If hooking to just my machine only, I tether instead.)
    Can't wait to rip out the WifiRanger (or maybe run them side by side for comparison, though likely to use that existing wiring path through the roof). We do work remotely from our rig, like y'all, and I have been blocked by campgrounds for using too much juice (means nice system on their end, to be able to measure), had zero wifi or so bad as to be non-existent and have also simply run out of hotspot data on the T-Mobile (Plus $25 got me another 50GB, though. Whew.) We'll be starting with an AT&T package, like you, since the Verizon packages aren't available right now.
