If there is no mobile coverage where you are, the router cannot connect to the internet, even if the SIM card and data plan are active. The router’s Wi-Fi may still be visible and you are connected to the router, but you get no internet connection because the router has no contact with the mobile […]

A motorhome can weaken the mobile signal quite a lot. The body often contains metal, insulation and other materials that make it harder for the signal from the mobile mast to reach the router. The router’s placement is therefore very important. If it is low down in the motorhome, near metal or at the bottom […]

Yes, definitely. Just a few metres can sometimes make a big difference to signal strength and speed. Mobile signals are affected by walls, metal, trees, terrain and how clear the router’s view of the mobile mast is. In a motorhome, a spot near a window or higher up can therefore work much better than further […]

In the evening more people often use the internet at the same time. This can mean that both the campsite Wi-Fi and the mobile network are more heavily loaded. If you use a router with a SIM card, you share the mobile network’s capacity with other users in the area. If many people stream, work […]

5G is a newer generation of mobile networks that, with suitable 5G coverage, can offer more capacity, lower latency and higher speed than 4G. But 5G is not automatically the fastest everywhere. A strong 4G network can sometimes work better than a weak or heavily loaded 5G network. What affects speed Mobile speed does not […]

Not always, but in most cases 5G gives better conditions for higher speed, lower latency and more capacity than 4G. But how good the connection is also depends on the coverage where you are, the local operator you are connected to and how heavily the mobile network is loaded. So a strong and stable 4G […]

Yes, the weather can affect the mobile connection, but it is usually not the main cause of a poor signal or low speed. Heavy rain, snow, thunderstorms and other weather conditions can worsen the signal in some situations, especially if you are already far from a mobile mast or have weak coverage. Problems are more […]

4G is a generation of mobile networks for mobile data. It normally gives enough speed for browsing, streaming, video calls and most everyday purposes. The speed does not only depend on the router saying 4G. Coverage, frequency band, load on the mobile network, placement and signal quality play a big role. What affects speed Mobile […]

Yes. A 5G router can normally use both 5G and 4G. If no 5G is available where you are or the 5G signal is too weak, the router can automatically switch to 4G. This makes a 5G router more flexible than an older router that only supports 4G. When 5G is available, you usually get […]

No. A router can make better use of an existing mobile signal, but it cannot create coverage where there is no usable mobile network. Mobile speed depends on more than just the signal bars: network load, frequency band, distance to the mast, obstacles and the network used also play a role. When troubleshooting, it is […]
