    I have that as well, I believe that is only for the TV

    Hm, wonder what the use-case for that switch would have been. To just not have the TV receive OTA signals? Would that reduce power consumption in the trailer somehow?

    (am on the hunt to reduce unnecessary 'things' sucking power in my trailer. when i get to the trailer friday night, the battery often shows 12.3v. I run a generator a couple of hours, it shows 12.7v, then the next day when we leave it shows 12.5v again. must be some drain somewhere i guess?)

    Those are usually to turn your signal booster on or off depending if you are using cable or antenna.

    As far as the Router goes, I leave ours on all the time, the power switch for the antenna, as note from others, is behind the TV. One other note, T-Mobile now has a $40-$50 a month 100GB plan through Wineguard. I went direct to T-Mobile and received the same deal. Where T-Mobile doesn't work I have a Verizon hotspot for back up. One other benefit for leaving the router on, is if you wireless security camera's they connect instantly to your router so when staying at a truck stop or boondocking you always have your security feed. When I put the trailer in storage, I turn off all power which takes care of the Router issue. Hope this helps, I have been very happy with the router system.

    The only reason you added a power switch was to be able to cycle the power to the router if I was having issues. But I agree that this is a great system.

    Ok, that makes since, good idea. I have had to pull it down and disconnect a couple times. Like the switch idea!

    We had a Gateway router on the last TT, a 2020 Nash 22H. It was mounted inside the 360 and had no on/off switch. Winegard sent me a bracket so I could relocate the router to the inside ceiling, directly under the 360, the location Winegard recommends. Do your research, as it will only work with ATT and Verizon, although the tech told me he thought it would work with T-Mobile also. We traded it in on the 2500 before I got around to changing it.

    The power switch for my antenna is not behind my TV. It is in the media console next to the radio.

    I have a T-Mobile hotspot and it is garbage. I get very limited signal on it.
