We use a grandfathered VERIZON 3G MIFI plan for basic internet that works anywhere you are in range of a VERIZON CELL PHONE SERVICE tower. Verizon does not have the 3G plan for sale anymore but does have a 5GB dataplan for around $50 a month. These create a WIFI HOTSPOT for up to 5 WIFI enabled wireless devices to use around your RV setup.. Our range is around 50-80 feet from the MIFI unit. This can be extended by using a WILSON SLEEK CRADLE with external antenna to sit the MIFI unit in. This increases the WIFI generated foot-print big time.

These are just for checking into the internet, paying some bills, keeping tabs with the kids and some small surfing of the internet. We get by just fine using our 3GB dataplan monthly plan with Verizon. If you want to downstream movies or HDTV you will need to have at least a 20GB DATAPLAN. Just one movie will eat up around 1GB or more of data...

Check out the VERIZON JET PACK MIFI type plan that uses a larger GB dataplan. Price is $80 to $100 a month.

VERIZON TOWERs across the country seem to have the best overall coverage through-out the USA... The other carriers seem to only work well around the large towns and along the interstates.

We found trying to use whatever WIFI HOTSPOT signals that might be available here and there around the camp grounds was not a dependable system to count on. Whenever everyone at the camp grounds tries to get on at the same time usually kills the service. These places can't be all that secure as well... Probably not a good idea paying bills sitting in a McDonalds parking lot using their WIFI hot spot...

If you are just interested in basic secure emails and some internet etc the VERIZON MIFI package may be your answer.

Or just use any mobile data WiFi hotspot, even a smartphone, and get a secondary router that has wireless bridge mode. Basically acts as a WiFi adapter with Ethernet ports.





Cradlepoint also makes Mobile WiFi/Ethernet routers such as the Cradlepoint MBR95 3G/4G Wireless Router. I picked up a previous version MBR900 for $6. at a Goodwill Store.

Actually, all I do is use an old Linksys-N router(~$4.), and flash with third party open source firmware supporting wireless bridge mode. I use this to connect my Bluray players though Ethernet via my mobile 4G WiFi router.

If you want cellular, 4g is really fast. Most smart phones have Hotspot capabilities and get a wireless adapter for anything requiring a data port. If you are looking at wifi, speed will depend on service provider and use a wireless router. Most will have data ports if you don't want to use an adapter.

Why do you want ethernet? Most people use wifi for everything.

Verizon has mobile routers with ethernet ports. I am not in the market, so those are the only ones I am aware of while browsing their store.
