Thanks Bob for this review. I’m still using the HUAWEI MiFi I purchased at the Scottish Caravan & Motorhome show in 2015 when we bought our M.H. We bought and got the dealer to fit the external marine type aerial, on the roof like this one,. To be honest, I have rarely used the aerial as signal is always full on in the cab. I’ve not fixed the router anywhere as I take it with me when going to appointments, hotels and meetings. We also have a mains powered HUAWEI router that takes a SIM card, which we can use on site or in a hotel too so as multi users can connect. We got that for free when we took out an unlimited mobile contract after lockdown for my wife’s clinic, before things got back to normal. It has been great having that for my business or travelling in the MH so I’m not ready to upgrade or re-fresh yet as the initial MiFi & aerial was about £450 plus fitting.
Bob, yet another great video! Thanks to you I understood that this kit was the answer to my needs. Whilst I ended up buying the antenna and Teltonika RUT950 router separately the outcome was the same. I am very grateful for your information and loved the way you explained over the two videos, not only the advantages of the kit but the decision making process. Keep it going you are doing a great job and have become my reference point to all things motorhome, whether it is cleaning and servicing the Thetford toilet cassette or choosing a pitch on the club site in Chirk. Once again thank you.
great info bob thanks ,,,just one thing i know i live about a mile from you and i am on 3 home broadband and getting 300 mps through it on average ,,the brilliant thing about it is you dont need a land line and if you go away in the motorhome you just lift the router and take it ,,or take the sim out and stick it in the router ,,well worth it if you can pick up 5g at your house ,,
Hi Bob, a great review. I was tempted to buy one of these. I ended up getting a TP link router with a SIM slot in it. It works fine for us. Cheers Andy
Hi Bob I fitted one myself but it’s the Maxview Roam same as yours but if different make and run on 02 over the year I have been over 8000 miles and it’s been brilliant only bad point is when I sell van it’s goes with it.
@@BobEarnshawMoHo when we asked about fitting the dealer said they did a belt and braces job and used sealant as well , so that would make it harder to remove. Something to ask about before giving the ok.
I keep looking at routers for the caravan, but so far we haven't had a problem with hot spotting our phones, so not sure if it's viable at the moment, but if that changes, we might have to revisit. Great video and Merry Christmas to you both. Mark & Coral
Great video. I have the Maxview Roam which is very similar (both use Teltonika routers so management interface is also basically the same) and so far I have been pleased with the performance. I think the addition of an external antenna really helps over the likes of the Netgear and Huawei alternatives. It would be great to see how you get on with the different mobile networks as I think this is a big factor detrmining performance.
Hi Bob great video ...I am with EE got two phones his and hers buying another SIM only deal ..was wondering if the Avtex can just the data on the phones we have ? So I would not need much data on the Avtex ..?
@@BobEarnshawMoHo thanks Bob ..I was just unsure about using it as a personal hotspot using our phone SIM data as we have unlimited on EE and also an roam in Europe with the phone Sims
Think of if it more like your home WiFi router. You connect your phones, laptops, tablets etc. to the router, not the other way round. The benefits are normally faster speeds than your phone, because it only has one job to do and it has a dedicated aerial on the roof to pick up mobile signals more clearly, it also has a stronger WiFi signal than your phones WiFi hot-spot. Confusingly, you could in theory connect the Avtex WiFi to your phones WiFi hot-spot, but you'd be going round in circles there!
Hi Bob, recently purchased our motorhome and we are having the Avtex AMR 985 fitted in a few weeks time, can the router be switched off so it doesn’t cause battery drain when in storage?
I had to get the manual to remember this - when you logon to the router via 192.168.1.1 the Admin advanced menu password is 987654321. It's on page 17 of the manual. I changed that password.
It will pick up weaker signals more reliably than your mobile phone, but there is a limit to what can be achieved in poor signal areas, so don't expect miracles. One big benefit with this system is can put a SIM from another provider in it, so if the signal from Vodafone is non existent, we can switch to EE or vice versa.
Hi there did you compare the download speed of your phone compared with the download speed of the avtex both using the same network? In other words did the avtex grab a stronger signal is it faster 👍
We don't necessarily get faster speeds but we are able to stream TV and upload videos at the same time without a phone hotspot getting very hot, which is the purpose of a router.
@@BobEarnshawMoHo Hi bob I understand, we lived on a steel boat for many years and understand the problems . We solved it with a Huawei B310 (240v) which you can actually plug a landline in with an adapter . The router was mounted in a window to obtain signal which it did even in a poor signal area. There seems to be a profusion of Avtex like systems on the market . To be honest I am struggling to see the advantage over what we achieved quite cheaply and the Avtex and similar which are expensive . They are still basically commonly available LTE routers with an outdoor antenna. Thanks for your posts very interesting.
Hi Bob. We have the Avtex wifi in our Bailey caravan. Great bit of kit. Did you know you can lock the band on the Avtex to improve signal and data speeds. Wasn’t impressed with the GoVivo(O2) sim so binned that. So now use unlimited EE and Smarty data sims in the Avtex.
@@BobEarnshawMoHo The network cell mast transmits on different frequencies. The Avtex enables you to lock itself to a specific frequency(band). As different bands can affect data speeds. For example: EE uses bands 1,3,7,20(20 best I have found) To lock the band on the Avtex:; network>Mobile>General Scroll down to Frequency Bands Then connection method Change to Manual and select band Then press Save
The top level settings are accessed after the set up, via a Web browser on a PC or device connected to the router. From the manual: To access the web settings you need to be logged onto the AMR as previously mentioned and then in the browser enter the IP address of the AMR, the IP address is 192.168.1.1. The password is 123456789 It is possible to access this from any web browser on a connected PC/laptop, tablet or smart phone.
Ok, I’ll give it a go. I’m using the SIM from my phone (as it has unlimited data) but the router doesn’t recognise it. I’ll keep trying it. Oh the joys of modern technology!!!
Hi - good video. I have a question for you. I’ve got the AMR985 in my motorhome but if it’s turned off once we are home then want to turn it on again, the status lights flick from green to orange to red and no matter what I do like resetting it, removing the SIM and popping it back in it refuses to go green. If I leave it to a day or 2 hey presto it all works. Quite bizarre!
With you using the external antenna, I don't think you'll be utilising the black antennas on the router - they often unscrew and would neaten up your installation.
I've kept the original SSID and password, but if you must, you'll find it in Network, Wireless, Edit, under Interface Configuration, Wireless Security.
Went for the Avtex because of the two SIM slots, so we can buy a SIM when we're abroad or use the roaming on the included Govivo SIM. The twin SIM version of the Maxview is considerably more expensive. Neither are 5G routers. Plus it was sitting there on demonstration at Todds, making eyes at me. 😀
Thanks Bob, good information. Certainly not the fastest speeds available over mobile networks. Is it 5G enabled, as a good 5G signal should give you well over 300Mbs. I think Three are the best for mobile data speeds and I've seen over 900Mbs download. I look forward to the testing.
We have just had the Avtex WiFi router fitted and it works fine when the Master switch is on but when we are driving and on the Leisure battery we can’t connect. Is this right or should we be able to connect to it when driving (to use for directions), thanks
We can't used ours either, because it's wired to the habitation 12v supply and that is switched off when driving. We use the sat nav for directions, so we've not really bothered. If you need it to work when driving it should be wired directly to the leisure battery, via a fused connection.
Yes that's right, we have three unlimited data SIMs with UW, our first one is £20 and subsequent SIMs are £13. I also have an unlimited data SIM with Vodafone.
I'll ask the obvious questions, then you really need to talk to Avtex support or the dealer who fitted it. Is it powered on, ours has to have the motorhome electrics switched on. You should see a red light if it is. Can you connect to it via your phone or laptop? Did you do the setup in the manual? Have you tried both sim slots?
THANKS for this video and will it work 9:40 abroad with a foreign SIM card etc. I REALLY do not understand all this technology and I ask with no hidden malice! ☺
Hi ya Bob & Jenny, I have been wondering if you have come across Broadband Go. Which is a single SIM card that operates off the best signal across all the providers. I was looking to try out but was hoping you had tested this SIM card. Hope poppy has recovered.
Thank you for another good video, I am going to order a govivo SIM. Did you make to Ashwell? Pleased to report that the snow round here (i live about 7 miles as the crow flies from Ashwell) has finally gone!
Hi Bob do you take the SIM card out of your phone ..or where do you buy another one ? Sorry green in these matters , looks good if I can afford one ? Thanks for your help 👍
I would imagine that a high upload speed is important for you given that you upload videos whilst away. We regularly get 27 MB/s download on our internal MIFI which is just located near a window and 15 MB/s upload. We use unlimited data on Smarty and have also used it without issue in France. There is broken and unreliable Vodafone and O2 coverage in Scotland so we steer clear of those networks and therefore don't use them in England or Wales as we never have their SIMs. We find that tethering to a mobile with our EE SIMs works fine too with regular speeds of 44 MB/s and 18 MB/s right through the Borders to Sutherland! We look forward to seeing how your new device pans out across your travels but I still won't be drilling any rooftop holes in our motorhome for the purposes of mobile coverage! There are too many factors affecting data signals such as the distance to a tower, the transmission power, network congestion, geography, obstructions and because none of it is constant, no matter what land-based system you have there will always be massive fluctuations in the benefits of these stand-alone systems. The real test would be to take it to Kielder, Clactoll Beach or the like and see what you can pull out of nowhere!!
Well that's Solutions clearly not working that is some of the slowest internet I've ever seen. I fitted wireless to my motorcycle and I get almost a gigabit Down using my solution which cost me just £12 a month for the next year. You're better off getting a household router with EE or free and simply getting a 12 volt adaptor this is a seriously expensive way of doing things and that's true it's just quite frankly awful.
From what I've read the fastest mobile downloads speeds are around 250Mbs on a good 5G mobile. We tend to use the 4G router in remote rural locations where there is no 5G mobile signal. On recent trips it has always found a good 4G signal. So, I'd be very interested to know where and how you get near 1Gbs download speeds on your motorbike. The fastest domestic fibre is running at 1Gbs.
@@BobEarnshawMoHohonestly that's really bad I promise you. I use mobile broadband as my home broadband I've been using it for years uneven when I was using just a 4G solution I was getting over 150 MBit I'm using a standard 5G router for my motorcycle I'm getting over well over a gigabit I don't know if you would be willing to do an EE test because I really want to buy one of these but those speeds are honestly really bad.
This is a 4g router and I've used EE and Vodafone all over the country. If you don't believe me, have a look at my friend Dan's video comparing mobile internet speeds in his caravan with different routers: ruclips.net/video/nEDB7L0BJDw/видео.htmlsi=umF7yo4BIgaShEHs
