Miri

It's me again! since joining up I've been trawling the endless nuggets of info, advice and stories, held in these magic pages. Every now and then I think, "must look into that". My latest query is about this mifi. I thought at first it was a plug for a now defunct flat pack company. But now, I reckon it's almost a prerequisite of the 21st century to install mifi in the motorhome. So. Which one (s) of you guys can fill me in with lay mans terms regarding installing, buying and running it. Is it just like having a router? Is it expensive to run? Usual stuff.

Just like a router, but instead of being connected to your phone line it is connected to 3g/4g via a sim placed in the MiFi. It then is able to share a WiFi connection to your devices in your Motorhome, data is received through the 3g/4g connection so it depends on what signal you have how fast or how slow it will be.

Three network in Ireland seems very very good, so most are using a Three data sim.

If you stick to emails and browsing they are not expensive, if you start watching movies then it can add up.

Loads of unlocked ones available on ebay, amazon etc.

Another method which is basically the same, if you have a smart phone you can share the connection on it to your ipad, assuming you have a data package.

this is what a mifi looks like

All the mobile phone networks sell them, but if you buy from say O2 then it will stay locked on O2.
