Unlimited RV Internet and WiFi for VAN LIFE | 2020 Update
Unlimited RV Internet and WiFi for VAN LIFE | 2020 Update
In this episode we take you through out internet set-up for full time van life. As digital nomads living in an RV full-time, we need consistent and strong WiFi. Here are our top pics:
UPDATE: Our sim card through ezcom still works great. However, the customer service from them hasn’t been the best. To put it simply, the owner has been rude to us and to some of our subscribers who have used ezcom too. We’re going to continue to recommend ezcom because it works and it’s a good price for unlimited, unthrottled internet. Just be aware that they can be difficult to work with.

Hi guys! I was getting so confused abt all of the internet options out there and you just helped me out immensely! Thanks 😊 safe travels
thank you! very informative 🙂
Love you guys! Maybe we will bump into each other when I finish my build this summer!!!! Lots of love, and stay safe always❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! 🌍🌴🙏
Do you recommend using both the We Boost and the Netgear hotspot?
Also, I am Grandfathered ATT Unlimited Cell. You mentioned 22GB Throttle. Would you agree with I am Guessing whenever I am in my billing zip code 24/7 NOT working Throttle cell service and my home base is a Mid-Size CA City. Traveling NO issues. VERY informative Topic. Thanks for Sharing !!! 👍 😎🐶😎🚙
Topher Grace lives in a van now? Guess he ran out money from that 70s show?
How have you found ezcom? Is the service reliable? I’ve had issues with other resellers, looking for a good one.
New here from 30 and a wake up. Almost done building out my van and looking for best wifi booster. My wife and I are going to do travel nursing and wifi is a must if I am going to get her into the vanlife. Great info. Can’t wait to see the storyteller
Thanks for the redirect! If ya’ll ever get up here to the Pacific NW (feel free to drop by) Humboldt County (Arcata, CA)
would any of these work for a remote wfh agent? I take calls all day for roughly 10hrs and the tmobile device looks like the only thing I can plug an Ethernet cable in for my laptop I’m just kind of unsure how all of this works…
You are way over paying for your hotspot. I’m a verizon account manager. Go to a cellular sales location and find an account manager. They will fix you up with unlimited hotspot for less than $35 a month. And have your phone lines moved over to that same business account. It may throttle depending on what plan you get on but with the amount you will be saving you can easily get another hotspot and still have some money left over!
Please everyone, use a VPN when you’re on public Wi-Fi.
Hey Paul and Chad love the channel I contacted ezcom.us and ordered the t-mobile service/router combo and I would like to share my experience. I ordered from them it showed up yesterday and I plugged it in today and connected my phone, did A internet speed test I was in a hurry (had to go back to the hospital due to having a baby) so I left it at that for today. I contacted customer support chat just like I did when I ordered. I had all assumptions that i was doing something wrong on my end and wanted suggestions on making things better. I was met by Jessie and maybe he was having a bad day or something but he was very rude and condescending to me. I even mentioned this to him and his response was if you deal with customers you understand how frustrating it is. To me this is unacceptable that I was met with this kind of treatment especially on day 1 of service.
*I misspoke @ **10:15**. I meant to say go on AMAZON to buy the Netgear*

I have the MOFI router with AT&T SIM card. AT&T canceled my unlimited plan and now don’t offer unlimited. Any recommendations?
May I ask what you guys do for work on the road? Nice video cheers!
Are you guys brothera
Clear and concise. Thanks guys!
Terrific info, thanks!!!
Hi there! Can you use a Visible SIM card in the AT&T hotspot? Also, any idea if the flat panel antenna can be connected to the MOFI router? Thank you!!!
You guys are about to have your lives changed with fast sat internet available anywhere. Get on Starlink’s beta list now. $500 equipment purchase and $100 gets you cable speeds anywhere you go.
Thanks Paul! This was helpful. I currently work from my van and I have Weboost and a Verizon hot spot, and Tmobile cell. Right now I only use Tmobile, Verizon didn’t activate my hot spot in October for some reason but it will be on on the 15th of this month. Im in Sedona Arizona and it seems my Weboost doesn’t really work well. Its been difficult getting cell service especially when I’m away from town.
Do you struggle to get service in different areas, does this happen to you alot or just sometimes?
I love seeing you guys adventures, gives me confidence to travel around too. Thanks for your fun videos too.
I’m just waiting for starlink to come out :/
Awesome life, awesome guys. Thanks for posts.
How many Mb/s do you get on the different systems? This is a really important stat and I’m surprised more videos about van wifi don’t mention it.
Ghey
Great info. How much do you spend for internet access per month?
T-Mobile only 15 gb
So why did you two get the K instead of the G. You sleep in sep beds? We have been married 16 yr and have never slept in sep bed EVER. That why we bought the G. Thank u for reviewing the wifi and phone boosters. We need neither but it was interesting. I just use my ipad for entertainment, we have never ever taken the plastic off the face of our TV. We r going full time for 2022 and enjoy learning from you two.👍✌️
Great video but I need more CHHHHHHAAAAAD! LOL Thanks guys I hope you all are doing well. And that Chad is doing well.
does the weboost do anything for increasing the netgear hotspot’s signal?
Be nice to have a real home based business
Sadly in Canada I can’t seem to find any unlimited data plans in Canada
NEW SUBSCRIBER!!! Hi guys!! I’ve heard about you so much from Kevin (30 And A Wake Up) and I just happened to be looking up videos on how to get internet on the road and look who I see!! YOU!!! LOL. My daughter and I plan to be on the road THIS year and it is really exciting for us. We are moving into an apartment for now (instead of the house we currently live in) and I thought: Why get internet at the apartment AND pay for internet on the road? Why not just get something that you can use in BOTH places??? So……off I went to research. LOL. I’ve heard so much about you guys that I feel like I already know you. So why not subscribe? SO I DID!!!! LOL. PEACE, JOY, AND ADVENTUROUS LIVING!!
Hi Paul and Chad ! Where do you guys find those awesome "waterview" spots?
About net gear unlimited for 20 months
I like the way Orlando rocks that heavy harness. Is that to secure them when you are driving? Or are they into leather? I’m not being judgy.
This was great! Thanks for the info guys!!
Great video!! I’m a brand new RVer and work remotely so my #1 priority has to be reliable internet. Your video was VERY helpful!! New subscriber here!!
Paul, you did a great job of "dumbing down" the nerd stuff for the rest of us so if you want another job for van life you could always write one of those books for dummies & start the first edition of Wi-fi for the RV Life (Bet there’s a market!!)
Where are the links to these items? Thanks for the information.
Didn’t you guys used to have Visible Mobile? For $25 a month and running off verizon network, you can’t beat it. I use it as my primary internet source in my Winnebago Boldt. Plus there’s a workaround for the 5mbps cap 😉
Looking for a better internet option as I go full time in the van in 2021. Curious why you decided to go with ecom over other third party resellers? They seem more expensive but also seem more legit than others. Were there others that you considered or researched extensively? Many thanks, great vid.
Is there a 12v adapter available for the router or hotspot so it can run full time without needing the inverter on?
Thank you!!!! I can work remote but i couldn’t figure out how to use my work router without the internet modem I have and that Mofi solves the problem!!!!!! Thanks again🤗
Can you still buy that At&t plan unlimited? Will work for new Xbox online gaming?
What is your unlimited plan because 3 or 4 days watching Netflix my so called unlimited plan is over I just want to buy a unlimited plan flat rate anywhere I have a signal I can watch as much Apple TV as I want without worrying I’m gonna run out it’s 2021 we should be able to do this? I’m jealous of your 2’s van thanks for the video!🤯🔫🚙👍🏽
This is probably a bit overkill, but have you considered Starlink?
I have the Netgear Nighthawk with At&t unlimited for $35 a month , its supposed to throttle down after 20gb but I never notice any throttling .
