Connected! Set up the device in the house. Our location has poor mobile reception outside and in the house. It works well. Cheaper than other options and able to be used in our van when travelling. Worth trying!

Installed the RV WiFi in my Jayco and put in a Boost 250 Sim and hooked it and it works a treat. Netflix etc all good. Changed the password easily and now run all of our items off it and it even reaches my car while driving so my wife can use it mobile .

The instructions were very easy to follow and set up was very simple. Just needed to activate and prepay for Telstra service and plug in the device and internet was available.
- What size SIM card should l use?
Always use a FULL sized SIM card
- What if l insert the wrong sized SIM card?
- Do l need a SIM card to operate the WIFI?
If you are using the Media centre to stream from an inserted USB or External hard Drive, then you do not need to have a SIM card inserted. If you are sending information to a WIFI device, like a printer, then you do not need to have a SIM card inserted. Always turn your router off and on again after doing any adjustments to the SIM card. The router needs to re-read the SIM card once it has been inserted, so turning it off and on again will enable it to do this.

Yes, as long as you to use the SIM adapter that is provided with the RVWifi kit.
