COWFISH VANCONNECT WIFI 4G 12V ROUTER
Let ’ s be honest . No matter how much we want to get away from it all , not having access to the internet is not a part of that . We need to stay connected to the internet for so many reasons , not least of which is to share our adventures with those back home . But as a lot of other travellers have discovered , getting good access to the internet while away can be a real challenge .
We live in our caravan so we have a very high data need . This includes smart TVs , a mobile office for work , several smart devices and a security camera . Then there are the network-connected devices within the van itself , such as the battery management system and even the hi-fi stereo system . We needed a good , highperformance router .
We bought a VanConnect WiFi Router from Cowfish Technologies and I have to say we ’ ve been very impressed with its capabilities .
The VanConnect router is a 4G modem that incorporates LTE- ADVANCED technology for download speeds of up to 300mbps . It came supplied with an external antenna but we have found the standard internal antennas work perfectly well for our needs .
The wi-fi performance is also very good , with more than sufficient range for all of our devices around the caravan and beyond . It has both 5ghz and 2.5ghz wi-fi networks , so it ’ s compatible with both old and new devices .
