Jetpack for us too. Sometimes the phone hotspot. Ya sure can't rely on campground Wi-Fi.

Just got back from visiting in-laws for a few days, they don't believe internet is safe so we had to improvise.

Set phone as mobile hotspot & propped in window sill to get better cell signal - it was ok. Not nearly as fast as cable internet but we also couldn't get LTE / 4G service.

Ok so is the Verizon jet pack plug and play? Does it wifi throughout the mh or do you need a router? Also what’s it cost per month roughly any contacts? Thanks

Verizon JetPack for us.

THIS will answer a lot of your questions.

Price depends on whether or not you're already a Verizon customer & what plan you sign up for.

Verizon JetPack with Netgear 6000450 MIMO Antenna for those weak signals!

Can you stream movies like net flip or amazon Prime

**NLOVNIT** · 01-10-2019, 07:15 PM

Yes, but be aware you can use up a lot of data streaming videos.

I use the ATT Mobely, a small device originally intended to be used in GM OBDII ports. It became very popular and can be used with just a USB connection in any vehicle, car, boat, etc. When they first came out, they were offered as a flat $22.00 a month with unlimited data. I bought one two years ago and I'm still getting it at the same price. It's the same as the Verizon Jet Pack in terms of how it works.

With the MIMO I can stream Netflick but not without it in the location I'm at.

We primarily rely on using our IPhones to access internet and will use either cell service, or CG WiFi if available and working. That last part is always a big if. Do not believe the advertisements about coverage from the cell providers as they lie. Many state parks we frequent we get squat and we are on Verizon.
