Anyone know what this was for?

[TheLifeofBrian]

Hi all,
Does anyone know what could have been connected to these cables?
We've just bought a new (to us) Moho & these cables are in an overhead locker at the front.
It has a Snooper sat nav & Snooper dashcam.

Cheers
Chris

How about a modem? A usb charge cable and 2 aerial cables. Do you have an aerial on the roof?

I hadn't looked on the roof!
What do I need to make this work then please?
Looks like it was fitted by a blind man on a galloping horse!!

That is a motorhome WiFi antenna and they are very good you just need to get a router (preferably one that takes a data sim) to connect to it for your WiFi you will then have a great WiFi set up for streaming tv etc here’s a link to original supplier.

Yes definitely a Wifi MiMo antenna and mifi power supply
Looks like a chimpanzee has sealed the antenna

Is this anything to do with it - any guesses?

That looks like a tyrepal repeater for tyre pressure sensors

As has been said what you've got is a broadband antenna, and a well regarded one.

Because of the connections in your first photograph I doubt this was connected to a router but to a thing called a MiFi. Very likely it was a Huawei E5577 or a similar model with twin antenna ports.

When fitted with a data only sim you will be able to log into its WiFi signal and access the Internet just as you probably do at home.

I used one of these for several years and it was excellent. You can control it with an app on your phone or tablet.

These are the TS9 type of connectors. You could get a mifi device with these connectors built-in, so you could use the 4G aerial on the roof.

If you wanted to fit a router, you might find it has different connectors such as SMA. If you follow those wires back a short way, you may find that the original wires are SMA, and those are short SMA to TS9 adapter cables. if not you can buy TS9 to SMA adapters.
