Looking for Wireless Router

[Looking for Wireless Router]

I am looking for wireless connection for my laptop in my RV. I checked online, and the ones mentioned here on the Forums, and we're not able to use in the areas I travel -- mainly East coast Main to Florida.

I did find one that works practically anywhere in the United States -- it's Straight Talk WiFi Hot Spot at Walmart. Does anyone have input on this? I'd like to learn as much as I can about WiFi and using it while traveling in the U.S. What I mean is, does it plug in to AC power and does it have to plug in to the laptop?

And, do I need an antenna and relay box, or just the hot spot?

I'm not very technical when using computers.

There's a huge difference between the types of mobile internet available. We made a document that outlines the differences here: http://bit.ly/1MuFij8

Obviously MaxxFi is my project, however the information contained in that link apply to any of the mobile devices out there and I think it will help you understand the differences between them. The only exception is the couple paragraphs at the bottom that apply only to MaxxFi.

We use a truly unlimited 4g LTE data plan. No throttling. $80/mo.

If you use larger amounts of data, say 40gb per month, it's usually always less expensive to split the purchase between 2 lines of 20gb data instead of 1 40gb line with both At&t and Verizon. You save $40/mo by splitting it that way.

In any event, there's a huge difference between the types of mobile internet available. We made a document that outlines the differences here: http://bit.ly/1MuFij8

DickandLois, I'll see if I can answer your questions..

It does use satellites to cover areas outside of cell range if you have the satellite package installed.

The $70/mo unlimited plan is a month to month plan so you can start and stop service whenever you need to.

The speed will max out around 100mbps with MaxxFi Platinum Edition on Verizon XLTE bands. Most people will average 30-40mbps in the real world with the external antenna on 4g LTE.

I've never been denied access to any forum. Rv or otherwise. My experience is mainly with boating because I just put a deposit on my first coach. The mobile technology applies across the board. I don't know what Carleigh's experience is. I just don't think it's right for you to slam someone's opinion just because you don't like it or you don't use that technology. The whole point of this thread is to explore the options, not slam someone for naming one. This is America after all.

MaxxFi hardware maintains multiple connections with the tower instead of a single connection like the MiFi, jetpack or your cell phone hotspot. That's how it gets higher speeds. The unlimited data plan is $70/mo.

With everyone talking about their experiences with different providers, how can you single out one lady and say spam? Technically every post here is spam for one company or another. She's sharing her experience with her mobile internet service.

Isn't this spam?
