Forum: Telecommunications for RVers

We are looking to purchase a surveillance system so we can check our home while on the road. We are not interested in ADT type system, just something so we can go online and check the house.....probably like 2 or 3 cameras. Does anyone run wireless cameras and do they need reset often? What...

Right now I am camping at TT Tawakoni and cant get a signal with my verizon card. Well I was given a Hughes net internet dish with the directv horn on the side, so it will do both internet and TV. Problem is there are 4 cable running out of it and I need to get four cable into the trailer. I...

First off...Howdy all! Been a long time. Short, quick story is this: Finished up on project in Nebraska end of January, took time off, end of March took a job as an Operations Manager for my old company in OKC. Sold the old stick & brick near downtown. Supposed to close Friday on new...

Hi, I am a longtime Sprint customer, and I just went out of contract, and since I am a premium member (WOW), lol, they have made me a really good offer of a lot of credit, if I renew my contract for 2 years for an air card for my laptop while on the road. Does anyone recommend a particular model...

Does anyone have an opinion which Verizon 3G modem I should buy especially if I plan to use it with Cradlepoint? Any differences? Any more compatible than others? This will eventually be used in our home which will have no broadband cable capabilities.

I finally got my used cradlepoint MBR1000 up and running. it has version 1.4.2, do I need to update and to what version? I have heard of some problems with the newest version, but not sure they will affect me. Using a version USB 760.

I have a HP 1400 printer/scanner/copier, that is USB only. I would like to be able to print to it from my laptop using my usb wireless adapter (Hawkins). I don't want to install another computer in the RV. I think some type of stand alone print server is needed, but I'm not sure. We have about 2...

I bought a great little product for use in campgrounds that have limited range WiFi. This is a small antenna/amplifier that connects to your laptop or PC via a USB cable. I bought it because I have been in campgrounds where I had to go sit at some picnic table in the park because I couldn't...

I have been looking for a solution to have WiFi on the road with a low cost. I read about this software on RV net that uses my smartphone as a wireless modem. The data plan from Verizion is unlimited so I won't incur any additional charges while using my phone as a modem. I downloaded the...

I know we see many things on Television that don't work out to be true. I recently bought the Magic Jack system and it does work. All you do is take a wireless telephone base hook the phone cord end to the Magic Jack and the other end of the Magic Jack goes into the computer USB port. Follow the...

http://phandroid.com/2010/02/16/verizon-announces-game-changing-skype-deal/ We use Skype when our Daughter was in Italy in January, and it was surprisely clear. This can be a great deal. I'm going to talk the Verison, I have an upgrade coming up, my old Moto phone may get an upgraded. But...

I did not read it all but a LOT of good info on Security on wwweb and downloads http://news.cnet.com/8301-27080_3-10444561-245.html

Just found this and wondered if anyone out there have heard or used them. I am interested in this to kee in the Landmark. What an awesome price for a 3G wireless N router. Already checked and it supports my Sprint USB Aircard. Mark

has anyone used the magic jack (computer telephone system) "on the road?" we use it at home (via our cable connected desktop pc) and it works quite well. just was not sure how it might work in a campground setting. :confused:

Verizon just announced that they will provide free wifi network access to its EVDO/mobile broadband customers, and that usage over wifi network would not count against the 5gb allowance for cellular network. in my opinion, this will make verizon even more popular for the RV community. read...

So I just got a PM from Alex asking why I haven't said anything. He thougth I was having too much fun, well he's right. Well I got everything up and running. I love this aircard stuff. So portable and so easy. We have a WIFI hotspot at home with the Cradlepoint Router MBR1000. Just called...

I am interested in being able to boondock as remotely as possible without going satellite. The 3gstore.com SOHO "Best" kit seems to fit the bill. 1. The amp will have to go in the overhead cabinet in front of the ladder per jpg. Wilson recommends a "well ventilated" area but I guess this will...
