New to the travel trailer RV scene, looking for information on the Internet as far as possibly extending the signal strength. Currently use a Inseego Wi-Fi X pro 5G through Verizon. Can you attach an antenna or to get a better reception or a better signal strength on this type of a device. Would using a router do anything to boost reception? Thank you everyone.
 
Moved to the mobile tech page.

As far as I can tell, that hotspot doesn't support an external antenna. And no, a router wouldn't help with that.
 
The best suggestion for what you have is to maximize the “view” of the nearest tower that the device has. In front of a window on the side of the trailer that is toward the tower is best. With the refrigerator between the device and the tower is bad.

Finding towers is best done with an app like weBoost. It even turns your phone into a signal strength meter so you can pick the best location for the hotspot.
 
Thank you for your response. Be safe

Thank you so much. I will give it a try

There's a lot of good information here:

https://www.rvmobileinternet.com/

And here are some forum and posting tips:

1) If you use "Reply With Quote" (to the right of "Reply") as I have here, folks will know to whom you are responding and that person will get a notification.

2) You can also tag folks using the "@" symbol and their user name (as I have done yours) - they'll also get a notification that way.

3) You can create a signature block with your RV and tow vehicle information (see mine below). That way you won't have to repeat that information whenever you post or ask a question - and others won't have to ask. You can create a signature by going to:

Forum Actions (on menu bar) -> Edit Profile -> Edit Signature (under My Settings on the left)

Note: you'll need to have a paid subscription to add an image to your signature.
