Thank you for sharing this video! Very good information! I just wanted to share something that I found out - with HomeFi - and their sister company TravlFi. I was looking into options after hearing about the Nomad Internet fiasco - (was actually tempted to go with them - until watching your updated review - and others - glad I didn't). I did see HomeFi -- and the "free" router. However - upon checking their FAQ's -- yes, the router is free - But -- it is only free if you keep up the month to month payments for their service. If you decide to drop their service then you must return their router - or you will be charged an equipment fee. So essentially in order to keep the "free" router - you must keep up with the month to month service. If you would decide to skip months when you are not traveling, you have to cancel the service, return the router, and then when you want to pick up the service again, you have to re-order a new router - wait for them to ship it again, then start your Month to Month all over again. To me - this would be a pain - unless you are keeping the service all year around. To me - the better option is with their sister company - TravlFi ( travlfi.com/ ). With TravlFi - you purchase the router up front - then the router is yours to keep. Just like HomeFi - the router works with all 3 of the major carriers - AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon - with no sim card required. The router is the exact same router that you featured on your video with HomeFi - but, you own it - instead of renting it. The best part - is that after purchasing the router - and choosing your data plan (the data plan I choose is 50 gig of data a month for $69 a month), you have the option of a true month to month - OR month to month recurring. With month to month - you only pay for the months you use - on a month to month basis - and - you can pause (ie - not pay for) the months you don't need the service. Say if you want the service for June, then skip July - and pick the service back up again in August - you just Pay for June, don't pay for July, then Pay again in August. You will NOT need to return the router - since you purchased it up front - and you simply just re-activate it again when you are ready to start using it again. And - if you run low on data, you can 'upgrade' to the next plan - say if you have the 50 gig plan and decide mid month that you really need the 100 gig plan, you can call and upgrade to the next plan, and will only be charged the pro-rated charge for that partial month - (not the whole month), then the next month you will be charged for the higher speed plan in full. You can also downgrade as well - (but not sure if when you downgrade you would receive a refund mid month - probably not) but, then for the next month, you would be charged the appropriate amount for the downgraded less gig data plan. I have tried out TravlFi and so far, (with only 2 days of 8 hours of service) I had a solid connection - and no dropped or loss of signal. I plan on using this for travel when I am working, so I can work remote from the RV while camping. So - for me- with the idea of being truly able to only pay for the months I want to use the service (your month starts when you order and use the service - I started May 6th- so my service will end on June 6th unless I pay for another month by June 6th) and can drop the service for the months I won't be needing the service - without sending equipment back, and then waiting for shipping again when I want to pick the service back up. So - just putting this out there - as another option for people to look into as well. Both HomeFi and TravlFi are owned by the same company - and both are very easy to contact as well. Hope this might help others as well! Gary Moyer

Heads up, Tom! They no longer provide Verizon service. They did not notify us it happened, we just discovered it on our own when we were suffering through a period of spotty coverage where a Verizon connection would have given us service. We only found out today when we confronted them about it. They finally acknowledged it. You will want to pull down this video or correct the information in order to maintain your reputation.

Its on order, we'll see how well it works. Thanks for the discount code!

I love ya'lls channel. I'm keeping an eye out to get an update to see if there is a follow-up and see if you guys still like this. We always appreciate your input. Getting ready to go out for several months (in the next 6 months or so) and making our decisions on how to connect while out there.

Tom free use of the equipment is coupled with the $80 monthly charge. That is a stiff charge for most casual campers when you'll only get a few weeks of usage of it.

Hey Tom, this looks very interesting. I am curious how the unit supplies all three networks without individual data plans with each, seems to good (or easy) to be true! I was also going to get the T-Mobile Home Wifi - are you suggesting I would still need both as the Homefi includes T-mobile? Thanks, keep up the great videos!

Just ordered the HomeFi router using your link, thanks for the good review!

We’ve had their little orange puck for the past year in addition to StarLink. It worked great while traveling last year. It hasn’t been working as well at our homebase in south Texas but then neither have our cell phones. Hoping the new modem/router does better. Heading out for 4 months in 20 days so just ordered the new device. 🤞

I have that same "no name" modem I purchased at a camper show in Florida. Our purchase and service are thru a Satilite tv vendor and we pay him every month. I have found a few wireless companies online with the dealing with same equipment. We will see...

Great video. Have you compared this with GL-X750V2 (Spitz)? I guess with the Spitz you have a one-time fee for the hardware, and then only $10 per month (if you use an extra phone line and sim). Finding the best solution is making me weary :( Thanks

I used your code, got the plan I wanted. It is here and going, so far loving it. Waiting to test on the road. We dumped our cable internet due to them increasing the bill without increasing the service. Yes after 20 + years of cable internet. We are needing a more mobile internet service. Thanks so much for this!!!!

They have not used the Verizon network in almost a year. Not to mention they ROAM on At&t lower 4G spectrum.

This is what most rv's have been asking for. Someone has been listening. Great review.

great information, thanks Tom

Thank you for the information! The code saved us money!!!

Tom, Any guidance for a 12 volt solution. Do not run inverter full time.

Can you use this with a cellular booster such as HiBoost? I asked support but I don't think they understood my question. They said it only pairs with their own devices.

no verizon according to their website, "US Cellular, AT&T, T-Mobile with auto-connection to strongest signal in area." Also you state no SIM, website says "Dual sim with physical and virtual sim"

According to the website you do not own the router. You have to return it or be charged a device fee if you decide it's not for you.

So you don't need sims from individual carriers, it comes out of the box with everything needed?

Does this require 120 volts? I’m looking for something I can use where we camp a lot not hook ups hubby is an electrician he says he can always use an inverter but wanted me to ask thank you!

Hello Tom. Thank your evaluation of Home Internet. I'm a part time RV user. Do you know if this service can be paused? While it is paused is there a monthly rental cost of the equipement? Do you know if there is a restart up fee when I would go to use the device again?

Well the monthly price is the same as when you did the video but it’s $15 a month for renting g the equipment. And they charge you another $3 on top of that so if the equipment breaks you can get another one sent.

So, I don’t have admin. Control of the router? How is this secure?

Hello sir. Suggestion for ya. You can connect external antennas in replacement to the 2 rear paddle antennas. Run a couple of cables outside and connect to homefi router and connect to external antennas in order to get better reception, extended reception, more stable connection, and usually better speeds. Just a suggestion

Thank you Tom!

One last question...This is a modem/wireless router? So I don't need to add any additional equipment...plug'n play?

This may be a dumb question, You don't need to pay for service with each carrier? and How long will the discount be available? I'm going full time July 1st and am looking for internet solution. Luckily I had cancelled Nomad last November and received my refund. Dodged that bullet!!

Yeah, we're part-time RVr's. As a matter of fact, driving from SF Bay Area to Victoria. BC in about a week! QUESTION: Can you pause this service in-between trips? I don't see anything (so far) on their I can't see shelling out $80/month or cancelling/restarting multiple times on our intermittent journeys. Plus, with the bad press about Nomad, I'm a bit skeptical...to good to be true?

Does this use true wifi or is it more of just the same connection you'd get with your data plan on your phone? I want to get my parents and i wifi for camping so we arent using data but some areas data is very spotty and if this will just give same connection i cant justify spending 80 on it

Ok, based on other reviews I’ve read, I must ask: two or more months in, how is your service now? Still good? Do you have to call the them to change to another provider?

Senator, The question is very clear. What are you currently using for Rv Internet?

How well do they work when you have no cell signals?

Hi.. I would like to get something that if I have my pet with us. We leave the pet inside the rv and use a camera to keep an eye on him and the temperature inside of the rv. Would this be a good setup? Would the basic plan seem to be a good plan let say for 4 to 6 hours of using camera? I see they have this orange puck unit. You know how good that is??? You have any other thoughts on what I’m trying to do. We still would be at a place with Wi-Fi but would like to use my own hook up for this.

Where we can get it?

HomeFi ....... sounds interesting. I am currently using AT&T service with an external router paying $20/month. In the process of adding a T-mobile SIM card (through Mintmobile) for a regular $30/month. So, having three providers (I guess they use eSIM cards) and $80/month and 200GB actually is pretty darn interesting.

I'm confused by this video. You refer to this as HomeFi which is the orange puck on the HomeFi site. TravelFi looks to be the router you are holding. The prices are much different between the two. Please clarify which product you are talking about.

Hi I’m a truck driver but I also have a 2nd job working from my laptop. Will this hold up for me? I’m mostly in Ohio, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Texas, and Michigan

11:47 - "hardline"...... in IT the term is hardwire, you're welcome !

Are you using the LTE home internet Router as your mobile option?

Really appreciate your post. I have been using a pepwave solution on/off for the past couple years and have to admit that I prefer the home fi solution. Although I have only had it for a day, it is already outperforming the pepwave / husky parsec solution at my home base. I did not have large upfront or installation costs. I really appreciate that it works with all three carriers and I do not have to buy a sim for each as well as a data plan for each. Exactly what I have been searching for.... THANK YOU!!!

Does the homefi run off 12volts

Interesting, reminds me of Cradlepoints

It's on order! Thanks for the code too. Winegard with Verizon, travel fi hot spot, Verizon phone hot spot, and campground wifi is still not cutting it, so I'm grateful as an FT rver that you put out the word on these two when you did. Where did you get your "Adventure" sign for the kitchen? I'd love to get one made with a different saying, so I wasn't sure if it was custom-made.

I am on the fence about this after getting scammed by Nomad Internet. I'm still after three months of no service getting billed for a modem that was returned.

The T-mobile home internet requires you to enter an address. T-mobile tech support says you can't move it. Is this useful for RVers?

FYI this modem is NOT free. There is a monthly rental charge in addition to your plan charge. Also they have discontinued Verizon Service. Thanks for the info, but I dont think this is for me.

How’s it working two months later?

yea. of course theres a data cap! why wouldn't there be. i hit 200gb with my 20mbps current LTE plan thats only $45/mo with current gear. so. no thanks!

I think Starlink is very over rated, not to mention costly.

If this has a MediaTek chipset you might want to check your WIFI connection in the software of the box. If it uses Open source openwrt and there is a bad driver for the chipsets where the WIFI distance is hampered by this driver -10db loss of power output and its not allowing proper connection to the WIFI at the speeds its supposed to be. Like WIFI connects at 600mbs instead of 866mbs WIFI speed connection. So as a tech of 25+ plus years this is the info i have found with some of these routers coming out using MediaTek processors. So beware what is coming from these companies.

Difference between homefi and travelfi ?

Does it have an ethernet connection so I could look like i'm hardwired

Which company pulled the plug on RV'ers? Surely not one your promoting......Or maybe I missed it in your video????

How many times can one person say solution?

Where in your rig did you install it?

Does it work with a Cell booster?

Are you still liking the Homefi solution? I love that it can pick from 3 carriers. Are the carriers Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile?

I see a Different Router, Its a round Orange router. Has ANYONE used this Router yet, If so...Results? Thanks for sharing!

This will not work in locations where there is no cell service. Starlink works ALL THE TIME. Cell service is costly and not guaranteed to give you a connection. Even when you have a cell connection, you need to read the terms of "unlimited access" terms, and your bandwidth will be limited. Still, you may always be able to connect (depending on cell availability). The cell providers watch your bandwidth usage and will pull back the allowed download and upload speeds. Cellular is not a great option if some emergency cell towers become overloaded and malfunctioning. Starlink would not be affected by any national or local emergency. The value of Starlink and the ability to connect in all cases outweigh the cost and compare it to any cellular service. This is not a great solution for RV's

Questionable solution if you ask me. How are they able to give all 3 carriers? Example this month I use 500 gig on Verizon and next month on ATT. Cell service companies just don’t share like this and for the cost you’re not going to get all 3. Will be interested in seeing outcome after a few months of use. Paying hundreds of dollars a month for mobile internet sucks, however fact I can work and travel make it worth every dollar knowing I will have service.

Ugh I’m still waiting to see if NOMAD will send my money back after I canceled (3wks after order and no equipment). Until I get that money back I’m holding on anything suggested.

let me know when Cheri will be doing a trauma & stress video

Starlink? Absolutely the worst buying decision I have ever made.

This doesn't work in Canada

Insty Connect seems to be a way better solution than this “free” modem

Have you tried while traveling?

The next person that claims you can use T-Mobile Home Internet on the road.. I'm sending them the $400.00 termination fee... As T-Mobile is cracking down on these people that do that. They terminate your service. Then charge you $400.00 for that modem...So read the EULA before you listen to these people...

Not a 5g router

👍👍👍👍👍

Terrible customer service. Dumped it after two months.

Tom, pardon me for a minute. I am old school, if something seems too good to be true you must look away. For some reason, this is sniffing a lot like a Nomad restart, however I found other providers offering the same devices at a higher cost per month. My big question would be future support what if/when 4G/4GLTE finally goes the way of the Dodo bird, will they provide a new modem and move customers over to the current tech, or oh sorry it was an awesome time now go and start looking again. I would love to see RV Internet Resource Center validate this. Also, is anyone else concerned that the devices are only made in China? I did find the user manual and this device can be setup as a bridge, and not do routing you could then do VPN tunnel over it to encrypt your data. My concern is how much money did the Chinese gov. put into this vSIM tech and how much of my data will be on the dark web for them to sell? Edited: Tom this was an awesome intro to this product, and review of options.

Data caps data caps data caps. This crap LTE services would be more expensive if like the average American who steams tv you also use 1.5 TB /Month. IDK you can get that capacity out of LTE

This is a endorsed AD

But you must have a cell signal

KUTGW

Tom, I went and bought this thing just because of your video well let me tell you it’s a piece of garbage. My phone with the hotspot works better than that. Does the whole thing really gets interesting when you trying to cancel your service and return it it is crazy. I would not buy this yet. You could not give it to me for free. That’s how bad it is

200gb s konth fot 80 bucks? Nah ill stick with nomad internet

T-mobile is crap. Couldn't get more than 1-1/2 bars less than 2 miles from their own 5G tower.

Both companies reviews are not good at all. Be aware of what you are promoting.

Why do you look like you havent slept in days tom?
