Plugging in a router in an RV has several advantages over using a phone's tethering:

Connection problems

1. Stable and Continuous Connection

4G or LTE routers are designed to maintain a stable connection for long periods of time, unlike phones which can overheat or lose efficiency with constant tethering.

Routers allow multiple devices to be connected without major impact on performance, ideal for families or groups using multiple devices at the same time (computers, tablets, televisions, etc.).

2. Improved Coverage with External Antennas

Most RV routers, such as the ZTE MF293N and the ZEN-NET PRO 4G Router , offer ports for external antennas. These antennas allow for better reception, even in areas with weak signals.

This improves connection speed and reduces signal interruptions, a major advantage when traveling or in rural areas.

3. Battery Saving and Phone Performance

Tethering via a phone consumes a lot of battery, especially if multiple devices are connected to it. A mobile router, on the other hand, can be powered directly by a 12V source (such as a camper van power outlet), thus avoiding the phone draining quickly.

By reserving the phone for other uses, its battery and overall performance are preserved.

4. Network Management Features

4G or LTE routers allow for better connection management, with options such as user management, advanced security (firewall, parental controls), and sometimes even bandwidth priority.

Some also offer the possibility of scheduling the connection, useful if you want to deactivate the WiFi during the night, for example.

5. Connection Flexibility While Traveling

An RV router is ready to go right out of the box when you turn on the vehicle without the need to reconfigure your phone. This makes it easy for all devices to access the network right out of the box.

With a dedicated SIM card for the router, you can use the phone independently, without having to deal with tethering settings or interruptions to receive calls.

Conclusion

Overall, using a router in an RV provides more robust, efficient connectivity that is independent of the constraints of a phone, improving the internet experience while traveling and allowing you to fully enjoy every moment.
