If you look at a certain way, there are two kinds of RVers. Not that either is better than the other, mind you. And some folks might fit into both categories. Which are you?
Some RVers stay at RV parks pretty near the highway. These parks are near food and other amenities, and are often tricked out with things like cable TV service and Wi-Fi. On the other hand, there are other RVers who go out into the woods to stay for a while. They bring everything they need in the RV and go to RV parks that are really campgrounds more than anything else. The allure there is the fresh air and the ability to get away from it all.
This article is really for the first group. Nothing against you nature fans, because that’s a great way to be. But this article is intended for people who like to go to RV parks that offer more amenities.
RV Wi-Fi is great but…
A lot of RV parks have their own Wi-Fi. This makes it easier for visitors to connect their devices, and sometimes represents a profit center for the RV park. I get it. I like having access to the outside world when I travel too. And while I’m one of the lucky ones who has an unlimited data plan thanks to Solid Signal, not everyone is. Some tethering plans only allow about 20GB of data per month, which is about enough to stream Netflix in HD for one night. Knowing that, Wi-Fi is a much better bet.
The only problem is that getting Wi-Fi in the RV can be pretty hard. Believe it or not, your RV does a practically perfect job of blocking cellular and Wi-Fi signals. I’m sure you’ve noticed that if you’re not right by a window, the coverage is pretty spotty.
Blame the way RVs are built. The fiberglass skin, metal frame, wiring harnesses, and even the hardwoods of the cabinets all block or absorb those signals. The result is that you just get weak signal inside the RV. Weak signal means slow speeds when you work or play around on the internet.
There’s a perfect solution
This is the KING Falcon. If you want Wi-Fi in your RV, you want it. Plain and simple. It’s a two-piece system that will solve the problem of poor service in your RV.
The first piece is a super-powered outdoor antenna. This antenna is directional, meaning that you point it where the Wi-Fi signal is coming from. This means it can use all of its receiving ability to get Wi-Fi signals from one location. Antennas like this have been used for decades with astounding results. It’s not uncommon to get Wi-Fi from a mile or more with an antenna like this one. If there’s a signal that reaches your RV, no matter how weak, this antenna will grab it.
The signal goes through a single cable into your RV and attaches to the other piece, which is KING’s amazing WiFiMax router. This router creates its own Wi-Fi network that attaches to the park’s Wi-Fi, then blasts the signal throughout your RV.
There are two advantages to a system like this. The first, obviously, is that your Wi-Fi goes from zero to hero instantly. You get the speed you need to do the things you want to do. It’s just that simple. The other advantage is that your devices are shielded from the public Wi-Fi. You’ve probably heard of people whose computers have gotten malware from public Wi-Fi. It’s not a common thing, but it does happen. If you’re accessing sensitive information, like from your office, you’ll want to make sure you’re as secure as possible. A router like KING’s adds an extra layer of security to help you and your employer feel better.
Install it yourself or have it installed?
If you’re comfortable with drilling a hole in your RV, you can absolutely install this product yourself. It really doesn’t take much more than a drill, a screwdriver, and a wrench. However, if you’re not really ready to take power tools to your six-figure investment, I get it. Any qualified RV installer can do the work to the RV. Installing the router is easy with tools available on your phone. It’s practically self-configuring. If you can use an internet browser, you can configure this device.
No matter what, you really owe it to yourself to look into this KING Falcon system. If Black isn’t your style, the outdoor antenna is also available in white. If you’ve looked at those links, you know it’s not the cheapest thing in the world. I understand that may make it a little harder for some folks to embrace. But it’s a one-time purchase that will enhance your RV experience for years to come. It’s worth thinking about.
