Correction - the aerial goes on the roof not the router - assume you got your wires crossed at 4:55 😅

Thanks Chris , i have an all steel narrowboat and currently have a little huwaii router and a poynting antenna which is attached to a 2ft magnetic pole ,its been on the boat since
new since 2018 so both router and antenna are now quite old, i’m on O2 which does work pretty well across the country.. and mostly get a good 4g signal I’m wondering if this set up would work better/faster etc as its newer, the antennas on the router being inside the boat would they be able to pick up signal through the steel do you know?

Thanks for the video, been thinking of getting one of these for a while.
When linking to a campsites Wi-Fi, does the Avtex broadcast the campsites Wi-Fi on the sites SSID (eg sample caravan park Wi-Fi) or does it take in the sites wifi and broadcast it back out on its own SSID - so you don’t need to change all your devices? Thanks

You can set it to look for the campsite WiFi in the ‘admin’ menu in the router. Instead of it looking for a mobile connection you can set it to hunt for a network. Just treat it as you would an internet connection at home, log on to your Avtex network as normal. I’ve used it several times via a sites connection as we mainly use CL’s which are usually quite remote with poor mobile reception.

Drilling my motorhome roof scares me lol

It is a nerve wracking experience but double check, check again and if still in doubt get a professional in lol
