Wifi options for rv

[mikecrosby.5695]

Can anyone share a success story of what you use for internet while in your rv away from big cities? Not a major streamer but I do need connectivity for an occasional Roku movie and connecting to emails. Tks!

I use my cell phone hotspot. I use to have dish TV, but went to YouTube and have had no problems streaming while using the hotspot.

We use the T-Mobile 5G. $50.00 or $30.00 if you have the phone service. Or our phone hot spot. Some buffering but just be patient. If you aren’t patient you can spend $155.00 for starlink.

Ok, tks. Going up to South Dakota and not sure what will work.

x 2 for Starlink since it works anywhere. I take it along but don’t set it up if service is good. But in remote areas with no cell service it always works.

We have the AT&T hotspot through FMCA as well as T-mobile home internet.

Both travel well and we haven’t to not have a signal.

Oh! You're looking down a rabbit hole. Be very careful if you're on a budget, it can add up very quickly.
90+% of RV Parks have poor to very poor WIFI.
First suggestion is I'll second what OKIE said, a hot spot off your existing phone. You're already paying for it.
Second is a MIFI from your current cell phone provider.
From there it's off to the races.

We have hotspots from Verizon and AT&T. We mostly camp east of the Rockies and there are a lot of places where AT&T has coverage and Verizon doesn't. Our phones are Verizon so we could just use one of those as a hotspot for our tablets and laptop, but a dedicated hotspot is more convenient and it was cheap to add to our existing plan. We're retired so internet connectivity is not a true necessity, otherwise we'd spring for Starlink.

Been using TravlFi for the last 6 or so months and have yet to be disappointed! Easy to pause and restart and any time I've called, I've talked to someone without excessive holds or accents!
