TravlFi: portable high speed WIFI Roof Top Antenna Install and speed test! RV Internet
Welcome!
Keith here, and this weeks video is how we installed a roof top « cellular » antenna to help boost the signal for our mobile WIFI system for when we are out in the « boonies » and wish to stay connected.
The antenna we picked up on TravlFi’s web page. The cost is just over $120 dollars. The Cellular signal gain is around 4dB to 6dB, not massive but it is the difference in having service or not…. WE have a complete install video as well as speed tests demonstrating an increase in internet speed where we increased an average of 20Mbps down and 4Mbps up over the factory indoor antenna.
This is the link to the XTR router that we use everyday! https://youtu.be/ODu2wROeONk
Is the antenna worth the money? I believe it is depending on where you are camping at like near trees or where satellite signals will be a no-go. I didn’t want to mess around with the Starlink antenna, and I am not a super WIFI user so needing a rocket shop speed is not necessary for Kelly and I. This service is perfect for us and the most affordable service out there that is pause able.
This is what we use daily and many ask is it the fastest? No is the honest answer, but it is very quick, inexpensive and reliable which are the three things that I need for the RV. Do you need 1Mbps to watch a ball game? Nope!
Did I mention easy to use? You don’t have to drag a dish out and find a clear shot at the sky… Nope! park and play! The best speeds I see have been 133Mbps while camping which is very very fast for our needs. This Router that we use is the JOURNEY XTR that is a category 7 router which is a series transmitter receiver.
