As mentioned before, we have bought the same set up as your. We are currently trying it out at home, and so far it is brilliant. Can’t wait to try it out when Caravanning next year. It’s so very straight forward. Thank you so much for making it easy and affordable.
Brilliant advice. Makes things a lot easier to know what we need, as the Internet can be a little mind boggling! We will look into this kit. Thank you 😊
You way of positioning the aerial is genius! Mine bolts to a bracket I made and mounted on my solar panel. This requires a balancing act and a bit of dexterity winding the wing nuts on. I've now ordered the piping you've shown and look forward to enjoying my post setup beer in a much quicker time! I've been using the same router and it's marvelous! I setup a different APN profile for the 4G providers (I've 3 PAYG SIMs 3, EE & Vodafone), then I switch SIMs to the one which provides the best signal.
I'm glad I discovered your videos, you seem to see such pretty places! Internet is a must for me too, I'm in the US and I just ordered a HomeFi router. All I had to do was pretty much just plug it in and turn it on, beyond that I don't remember a complicated set-up. It's been great. Thanks for the video!
Made it but can’t test as van in storage. Size of the wires look like they could sit in the awning channel around to the box. Will have to see. Thanks for info
I haven’t tried to power it from a 12v battery but I read online that others have done so successfully with a universal adaptor. I would recommend contacting TP-Link. Their tech support is very good.
Hi can anyone help. I have just purchased one of these and am looking for the 12v cigarette adapter to give options if off grid. I believe this is possible ?
I have purchased the list you gave us, just waiting the arrival. In the video you said the bunny ears were not the antennas the antennas was in the box, if so is it not possible to do away with the part afixed up high on the caravan - i'm a little confused
Hi there, The bunny ears are for picking up the 4G mobile signal. The WiFi antenna (that your devices connect to for internet) are built-in to the main tplink unit. If you are using an external antenna, remove the bunny ears and connect to those ports. If you don’t need the external antenna, just leave the bunny ears on and you’re good to go 👍🏻
Far too many wires trailing around. It needs its own power supply as well. Better with a hotspot device. £90 for router + £20 for booster antenna+ other accessories to make it fit. My hotspot (Netgear) which cost £75 runs at up to 600mbps d/load. This router is 300. And in my eyes not as flexible. I would also like to add that your signal is only as good as connectivity to mast. In my experience EE has the best coverage in the UK and sell data Sims which last 12 months. The 30 odd connections isn't ever going to get used on a 10gb SIM it would only last a very short time.
As I said, there are many different routers, antennas and networks available, this is just what works for us. Perhaps you could create a video to share what works for you?

Cheers mate. Great video. Love the awning rail idea👍👍
love the idea of putting the antenna on the awning bead and on the rail hadn't thought of that.

Always a few people ready to tell you how you SHOULD have done things. Interesting video and approach without spending fortunes. Thanks
This is fantastic and affordable! Thanks for this!!
I've never had WiFi when touring, but this simple solution and description makes it easy. Thank you.👍

Thank you for sharing this, we’ve just these items for our static in Routh, it works brilliantly for us - cheers buddy👍🏻
fantastic video keep it up
Great video, calm and clear explanation.Thank you
Very helpful stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Quality simple video. Will order one thanks
Really like this idea and looks simple plug and play. For the price im going to give it a try.
Great video, clever aerial mounting idea.
Love the idea with the plugs mounting idea

Can you power the router from 12v or do you have to have the 240v plug plugged into an inverter. cheers
I haven’t tried to power it from a 12v battery but I read online that others have done so successfully with a universal adaptor.
I would recommend contacting TP-Link. Their tech support is very good.
@@taniakelly-baker689did you have any success on doing this I was thinking the same thing?

@teddygas9689 I believe it's possible but have never done it . Try the tp link website or forums.

@@PaulBaker_BakerDays thanks that's fantastic
How can you check how much data you have left... loved the video 👍
Far too many wires trailing around. It needs its own power supply as well.
Better with a hotspot device.

My hotspot (Netgear) which cost £75 runs at up to 600mbps d/load. This router is 300. And in my eyes not as flexible.

EE? Think you have never been to Devon. EE is the worst here, Vodaphone works in Devon or any of the piggy back networks that use Vodaphone masts.
Netgear nighthawk hotspots start at £300, and they don't have external aerials. This is by far the best setup for the price.
