This article details how to get wifi installed in your motorhome. See below for the benefits, advice and requirements for installation.
Why should I install wifi in my motorhome?
- For connection with your smart TV. Please note that all smart TV's require the internet to function correctly. You can "hotspot" your phone to your TV if you have a phone that has that function OR use get a wifi decoder installed as per these instructions.
- For better speed on your laptop/ smart TV
So how do I install it?
- To get Wi-fi in your motorhome you will need to purchase a mobile data wireless router. Your internet provider will be able to supply this.
- An external aerial (as fitted standard to every TrailLite motorhome) will help with your coverage.
- A 12 volt supply will need to be available to plug into your router – if your motorhome doesn’t have this, TrailLite can install this for you. Get in touch with our service centre here to book, or call 0800 872 455.
Please note: while a mobile wireless router should improve the coverage compared to a phone, the internet may not be available in all locations.
