I’m trying to decide if I should get any of Newmar options for Wi-Fi, they are offering Wi-Fi ranger Denali or Wi-Fi system Denali with interior router. Thinking of just getting there standard Starlink installed. Right now I travel with T-mobile home box. Thanks for any feedback back.
 
Why use starlink when T-mobile a 1/4 the cost ?
 
We used TMobile home and carried Starlink as a backup. Much less expensive and worked while driving etc.
 
Starlink only for me, the terrestrial cellular signal is too sketchy where I travel and anything "built in" will be four times the price I can pay on my own and obsolete long before the coach.

Look at all the vintage built-in comm systems on the average coach - Hughes Net, Dish Network, HDTV equipment, even Sirius satellite is obsolete.
 
If you go with just their standard internal router (Aspen?) vs the rooftop unit you can easily connect all your devices to it and then swap between rv park wifi (although at a weaker signal strength than the rooftop unit), your T-mobile mifi, and your Starlink (plug your starlink into the inside router) from that one device.

On my rig I'm benching my WiFiRanger and AT&T MiFi for a Peplink router with RoamLink. After two years from purchase my rooftop WiFiRanger (Everest) is no longer working and my AT&T MiFi costs too much as "unlimited" data is actually only 100GB with high overage fees and no rollover. For satellite I can plug that into the Peplink. I'm waiting for something other than Elon for satellite and this will meet my current and my future needs.

Best,
-Mark
