WIFI hub or finder (1 Viewer)

[Rds559]

I see yesterday a small WIFI hub that you have fixed on top of your motorhome with router inside where you put in your SIM card.
1, as anyone got such a thing is it any good.
2, where can you get an unlimited data only SIM card that can use as and when needed like pay as you go.
3, is it any good in Europe up to a month at a time.
Thank you.

Motorhome WiFi as good as any out there. They have a few versions depending on your needs. I'd recommend giving them a call to find out what's best for you.

There's loads of info on here about installing such things that a quick search will show.

As for sim cards, where to begin...! There is so much info on here and things change so quickly it's difficult to recommend. Again, without wishing to appear rude, a quick search for data sim or Europe sim will return loads of info...

I have a different router and antenna and use a Smarty unlimited phone sim in it , better deals available and when I went to France I used an RWG 200gb for £20 phone sim in my router.

I think you could buy the parts cheaper than the Motorhomewifi kit but you wouldn’t have the expert help they offer, so it depends how you are with such things

No the route is inside your motorhome.

Sorry but you have to have a mifi or router in the van, the bit on the roof is only the antenna

I did say on my post that the WIFI hub thing or as you say antenna is fixed on top of your motorhome and the router is inside your motorhome.

Hub, router and wifi "thing" is broadly the unit that sends and receives the local network/Wifi signal and is as you say located inside the vehicle/room; it also contains the SIM. This is so that you have the very best "connection" inside.

The aerial is a completely separate thing that is roof mounted so as to get the best chance of picking up the 4g/5g cellular signal from the SIM provider and is physically cabled to the router.

Reads differently to me.

 

[Rds559]

I have been around all the phone shops and ask can I get an unlimited data SIM card that I can use in Europe and pay as you go or use as I need to use when I want.
But I can not find anything and none of the shops can help.
So it’s a 85 cm dish on top and I know that works

I think you know, the OP is getting the aerial mixed up with the router.

So if your phone does not have a 4/5g signal,does the mifi get it .All new to me

New devices are coming to market all the time are they not?
