RV FEATURE
We had an additional step , which was to install the 12V power supply to power the router , but this was easily completed by connecting to a nearby 12V circuit . It might also be worth mentioning at this point that I happen to be an electrician with plenty of experience working on 12V systems .
Once all the hardware was installed , it was time to plug in the SIM card and power it up . We already had a Telstra plan and SIM so it was simple to swap this over from our old device to the Cowfish unit . The best part about this Cowfish unit is that it is unlocked , which means it can support any SIM from any provider . If you already have a plan , you can just place it into this and away you go .
POWERING UP
Time to power it up and set it up ! Well , to be honest , there was not much to set-up , either , which is great for most people , including myself , as I am not exactly savvy when it comes to IT .
The main thing you need to understand is that there is no wireless password set by default and this is generally recommended for network security . The last thing you want is your neighbour chewing up your data by streaming their favourite TV series .
The process to make the necessary changes in the settings is well laid out in the manual , which once again makes this unit a great choice for most users . There are also great screen shots inlaid in the manual to assist you to make the correct changes .
So far , the speed of this device is noticeably faster than our old device . We can stream movies and TV with ease and have spent , sadly , many hours on social media apps both inside and outside the van , and even made international wi-fi calls to our mothers without a glitch .
