TravelNet Wireless Mobile Broadband - Winegard February 24, 2010, 11:22:19 am Yahoo Message Number: 110390There is another alternative for an outside dual antenna for inside WiFi. I spoke with a Winegard tech. who said the system is available at some Camping World locations and it works with a contract from or Sprint or Verizon. The tech said Sprint seems to work better with their unit. The two antennas are small and magnet mount and would have excellent range when placed on the metal LD roof (great ground plane for reception). One may have to glue small galvanized sheet steel plates to the roof for the magnets. Just another idea.

Re: TravelNet Wireless Mobile Broadband - Winegard Reply #2 – February 24, 2010, 07:03:11 pm Yahoo Message Number: 110417Winegard's TravelNet product is a $1,300 device that does exactly the same job as a $100-$150 Cradlepoint router plus aircard, or a free-with-contract MiFi router: it gives you a portable Wi-Fi network linked to the cell phone system. It claims to have better antennas, but take that with a big grain of salt. My opinion is that this product is aimed at the kind of RVer who just bought a $750,000 class A and wants to add every possible gadget--the kind of person who either doesn't know that the same job can be done for a tenth the cost, or doesn't care about the cost.In short: strictly sucker bait.Andy Baird http://www.andybaird.com/travels/

I hadn't gotten as far into the Winegard to find the price. That's more than I would ever spend to see the internet. Not that important. I rather be out hiking and taking photos. Thanks.
