RV WI-FI PORTABLE WIFI INTERNET FOR CARAVANS & MOTORHOMES - STAYING CONNECTED OFF-GRID HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER!
Powered by the caravan, no charges to worry about, simple, easy!
The statistics are in, 95% of family homes and business are Wi Fi enabled giving occupants access to up to date on line data, social media, music and movies – the options are endless, with the internet being on an unstoppable course and where it is revealing itself as the prevalent communications technology of choice. RV Wi-Fi routers are optimised for the Telstra networks 3G and 4G data pre paid plans, though the RV Wi-Fi+ enables you to choose your own provider to access the internet to give you the best range or price options available and you only pay for the time you’re using the caravan. The coverage of this device is available where mobile coverage is available from your carrier, only better due to the external antenna providing greater range. The RV Wifi + typically provides up to 50 meters of coverage from your caravan or motorhome and allows you to connect multiple devices at once as well as using from your car whilst travelling. In addition, it comes with a built in media centre, allowing you to insert a hard drive or USB and share movies, images or music over multiple devices.
The RV Wi-Fi router Software has been developed specifically for the Australian Recreational Vehicle community.

Upon reviewing and researching this product, it was a no-brainer for me. However, I needed to employ the services of an antenna tech to install it for me. I am pleased with the result. The set up was a breeze (all instructions are easy to follow) and the signal was strong. I purchased the high extend aerial as well. Best money spent ever :)

RV WiFi, great product, easy to install. Internet can be accessed in and around the caravan, even while driving. Live stream football, Netflix or any streaming service to your TV or smart device. All that's required is a mobile phone signal.

Stuck in a really bad area
By: Tony Bowe on 8 April 2022
Just 30 klms out of Sydney, on a ridge 70 metres above sea level and we (notoriously) have the worse so-called “reception” in Australia - you can’t blame RV WIFI for that! But with the standard aerial there is, for the first time, some (faint) wifi IF we plug the wifi into a portable battery and set it up on the dash of the car 30 metres away where it has a clear line of vision to a ridge behind which is the Telstra Tower (50 metres above sea level 5 klms away) … Encouraged by this experience and the awe of our fellow campers we have now ordered a high gain aerial and arranged for its installation on our van in anticipation that our dreams for the home site and wider travel will be realised. We look forward to reporting our experience with the new aerial and anticipate a lift to 5 stars and further RV WIFI sales to our friends.

Great little product. Most caravan parks offer wifi from my experience none ever really work. After a few months of travelling this has come in very handy due to a lot of poor weather and being unable to do much else it has helped keep up to date with all the Netflix needs.

By: Garry on 13 November 2021
I have been using the RV WiFi for a few trips, and find it works perfectly. So much better than hotspotting the phone. Carn't draw an opinion yet re its performance in fringe areas, but if its like the improvement we have gained around country towns, it will be better. Also purchased the external aerial to assist / improve performace in the bush.

The product is easy enough to install whether it be basic installation using internal antennas or complex installation using roof mounted high gain antennas and roof mount dome antennas. It has a simple web interface and identification process. Comes with cig plug wiring, payg sim card access. If you want a dedicated 4g wifi system stand alone that can be used inside or out of the van with security and the added bonus of usb slots for movie downloads this product is on the money

Very pleased with this product. Easy to set up although we haven’t fitted the external aerial yet. Will wait and see what the signal is like when we start travelling again before we fit it. Was able to use a Telstra Data Sharing Plan where we use our mobile phone data along with a small internet plan which we are informed will reduce our monthly phone bill. I recommend this product.

Hi I have turned my Home on Wheels into the High Tech Caravan. After install of the RV WiFi unit I have connected a Google home account and Devices. This van is now fully automated from the AC to the lights. I also use the USB feature when no network. Fromm Music to Movies coupled with Apple TV it is Awesome. I would highly recommend this for anybody who likes the convenience of home on the Road. Just waiting for a 5g model.

By: Andrew on 31 October 2020
Just set this all up today. Was much easier that I had anticipated. I removed the car stereo in our van which is basically redundant, and wired in a 12v connection. After having power in the right place the wifi was very straight forward to setup, with good clear instructions. Tested from inside the house, about 20m from the van and it worked. Haven’t got it on the road yet, but will be great for the kids while travelling

This device is a must for every travelling family, digital nomad or mobile worker. The combination of 4G cellular modem/router and wifi access point that can not be beaten in today's market. It was easy to install / setup and has worked seamlessly for our family as we travelling around Australia. Without this device, our homeschooling, Netflix and our youtube channel could not happen.

This is the best investment I have made for my work to continue. Since the Covid disruption I have found normal hotel or motel accomodation a problem and have had to use a RV for a mobil office and the RV WIFI +4G allowed this to happen. Easy to set up and I get service everywhere in QLD I work between Telstra and Optus. I am about to order two more units for my work coleages.

The quality of the product is very well manufactured, with simple/easy set up. I currently have it set up in my caravan , and with currrent data packages available through Telstra I have found it extremely useful to use as I intended to with Netflix and other streaming possibilities. It has a steady, quick connection considering it uses 4G reception. Overall I am extremely satisfied with the price and quality of this product. Brad was amazing helping me make my decision, communication was simple and very friendly, the staff are very helpful and willing to help wherever possible. Delivery time was outstanding as I recieved my product in just 2 business days. I highly recommend this company for their service and quality products. Definitely will be shopping here again.

By: Danielle on 12 February 2019
Leaves any other service for dead! We are travelling Australia and needed wifi for schooling the kids. Bought the router outright. Telstra has various plans that have more than enough to cater for this. We stayed in the caravan prior to launching. Our property is a black spot for reception,....... it worked inside the caravan
RV WIFI
By: Max Dunn on 23 November 2018
Installed the RV Wifi into my poptop van and it works well even when set up internally inside a drawer. The external antenna would probably make the reception better but it is a bit of a problem routing 4 small wires through the van. Very pleased with the resultant connection.
So far, so good
By: Ross on 20 July 2018
The RV WiFi unit was relatively easy to install and setup. So far have only tested it in suburban Melbourne and it works great. Hopefully it will work on the road!

RV WIFI
By: ColTait on 19 December 2017
Straight forward to install. I selected a place on the RV roof where the solar cables entered an overhead locker for fitting the external antenna. Sealed the antenna in place. Installed the cables in the same duct to the Power Supply locker and fitted the modem. Connections are easy and well explained, as are set-up instructions. A speed check was 5.87 Mbps download and .47 Mbps upload, speed check said "wifi is fast". Very good product.
-
What size SIM card should l use?
You should always use a FULL sized SIM card with the RV Wifi.
-
What if l insert the wrong sized SIM card?
You will know that the wrong sized SIM card has been inserted, if once it is inserted it can no longer be seen. If inserted correctly, approximately 3mm should be visible out of the end of your RV WIFI router.
To retrieve, use a small paper clip unfolded and insert it in the SIM card slot. Work from one side of the SIM slot until you feel the SIM card. Gently edge it out of the slot.
Once out, it needs to be placed inside the Full-sized SIM card casing. It fits together like a jigsaw puzzle. It must be completely flat to work.
Once full sized, it can be put back into the SIM card slot. You will feel a "click" when it is in correctly.
-
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.
-
Can I use the SIM from my mobile phone?
Yes you can, as long as you to use the SIM adapter that is provided with the RV Wifi kit.
-
Do I have to sign up to a mobile phone contract?
No, RV WIFI+ comes with a Telstra Sim starter kit. You can use this or purchase another from your choice of data providers. You only pay for the time/data you use, and have nothing to pay when you are at home & between adventures.
-
How do I set my Wi-Fi password?
Step by step instructions can be found in the operation manual.
Resetting the password:
- The factory WIFI password/security key is : rvwifi1234.
- Open a browser and visit http://10.0.1.1 on your device.
- This will get access to the back end of the router to change the password but first you need to be connected to the network, which is where the WIFI password/security key is entered.
-
What is the maximum & average gain from the external antenna when in a fringe reception area?
The maximum gain is 5.4db. The average is 3.2 for B28 and is impedance matched to the RVWIFI router. There are three antennas inside the external antenna. 1 x 3G, 1 x 4G, 1 x WIFI. Each of the 3G and 4G antennas have a gain of 4dB.
-
What is an ‘omni-directional’ antenna?
RV wifi's external antenna delivers coverage in a circular horizonal direction. The WIFI antenna will give you a range of up to 50 metres from the RV.
-
What is the length of the internal antenna’s?
The internal antenna is 195mm long.
-
How long are the external antenna leads?
2 metres each in length.
-
Can these lengths be adjusted on the external antenna leads?
They can be adjusted by seeking assistance from an auto electrician.
-
Can l attach a different external antenna to the RV WIFI router?
Yes, the connector on the router is a SMA Female for 3G/4G connections. However, you will need to get an adapter that suits.
-
What coverage can I expect to get?
As RV Wifi accesses their data from a range of Data Providers - the coverage is where they are available. Search on the internet for coverage maps. These are normally located on your providers web site.
-
Does it work everywhere?
RV WIFI+ works with the a number of data providers including Telstra, Vodafone and Optus to name a few. Choose the provider that suits you best. And whilst coverage is not everywhere, coverage will extend to most places most people will take their caravan or motorhome.
-
Do I have to set up my antenna when I arrive?
No, the antenna is a set and forget, no need to mess around with setup when you arrive.
-
How does RV Wi-Fi compare to Satellite Wi-Fi?
Cost & Satellite data can cost as much as $2 per minute, this is beyond the pale for most people who want mobile Wi-Fi for the use of social media to keep in touch with friends and family, or to stay in touch with the office. RV WIFI is only $30-$50 for a month for most people depending on usage.
-
Is there any device in my RV that l should not place the router or antenna near?Great question, you should:
- The external antenna is best placed clear of high objects that will restrict its capacity to receive and send.
- The router needs to be placed away from the solar inverter.
-
How many concurrent Wi-Fi device connections can the product support?
The limit is up to 230 devices at once.
-
What size external hard drive can be connected?
RV WIFI has been tested up to 1TB.
-
How is RV WI-FI different to hot spotting my phone, or a ‘pocket device’?
The RV WI-FI solution has been created with the specific needs of the RV community. The differences are as follows:
- Superior 3G/4G coverage driven through the antenna set up high on the vehicle.
- Wired in to the 12V supply of the van, so no chargers to look after or lose.
- Superior Wi-Fi coverage - typically 50 metres or more from the Caravan/ Motorhome.
- The RV WI-FI router Software has been developed with the travelling holiday in mind, there is no other product like it.
- No bill shock - no impact to your phone data plan.
-
Does RV Wi-fi work with streaming video services such as YouTube or NetFlix?
Yes, it has been tested with two concurrent movies for two different iPads whilst moving on the road and did not skip a beat. - Note each movie can use between 500MB - 1GB of data.
-
How much power does the RV WIFI draw?
250milliamps (mA)
-
How long is the external aerial cable length?
The cable for the external aerial is 2 meters long

If I'm in a none mobile area, can this get me my wifi for internet and mobile?
The Wifi needs mobile coverage to work so while it won't work everywhere, the coverage will extend to most places most people will take their caravan or motorhome.
However, there is a RV Wifi High Gain Antenna available which is recommended for low coverage areas. So if you know you would be staying in an area with low coverage, this would be a great addition.
