Modem bonding is what I want like the old days of dial-up when multi-link PPP could double or triple your speeds 😉 When I'm able to bond two 4x4 MIMO CAT20 modems together then were talking some serious rural cellular internet speeds 😁 Unless you're a business needing an alternative/backup, dual-modems is a waste of money because it's likely your paying for a service your not using. Again, if you're a business, it's likely that you already have an alternative internet access like DSL or Cable and using cellular as your backup hence you don't need a dual-modem setup.
Those of us on the road in an RV or boat (our targeted audience) are juggling multiple connections that work differently depending on where we are. Bonding is a super awesome feature to enable reliability on the road. And there are now dual 5G/Cat-20 modem options on the market.
We have the same problem as Chris. We have no modem to connect to. Our cell reception is crappy, so to speak . There are no cable companies where we live - just satellite dish. we cannot stream our u-tube or Hulu on our big TV without a modem and we have need to connect. This is semi-permanent for now as I care for my Mom who is in assisted living. We want to travel with our fifth wheel at some point so, would a cell booster help and we need a modem set up for all this
Thank you so much for putting this content out. I’ve been watching and learning a bit. I’m going mobile with a company that requires utmost security and hot fail over. I’ll be in a medical chart. It’s all medical related real time. Is it possible to have the mobility, security, and uninterrupted connections for a continuous 8-9 hour day? I was looking at the dual modem I think??
As always very nice video about connectivity. I have a question though. I do need to live streaming or broadcast and I purchase the the Pepwave Max transit duo for the failsafe or bonding option for this but I don't have yet a WeBoost signal booster and I was wondering if I was to get one, if it would be possible to use both together so I can get the two modems and service plan and get a boost Upload speed for my broadcast? If so, how would you connect them together? Booster is another big expense and I want to make sure I do get some benefice doing so.
We cover that in the member section of our guide to boosters: www.rvmobileinternet.com/boosters (if you're not a member already, our discounts alone for the Pepwave and booster will offset the cost).
My partner and I will be Traveling around the US for atleast a year. Her job is complete remote and requires good wifi for video calling. What do you think would be better option for us? The duo modem option with only the cat12 or the single with cat20? She requires faster speed because of videos calls. But also having 2 modems I'm sure would be much safer. What are your thoughts? Thank you!

I use unlimitedvill mofi 4500 $100mo unlimited data. But I wanna tryn find a dual sim cellular router :/ but idk anyone that would work for the plans for the 5500 cuz that’s what I really wanna use for my workloads
Good evening.... I'm a over the road driver and I currently have a AT&t unite Express 2..... And I'm thinking about upgrading to a Netgear nighthawk..... I was wondering if I would get faster speeds if I upgraded my device to the nighthawk..... I currently use a third party vendor with unlimited data.
Great video. I am currently looking at the Peplink Balance 20X with the possible 5G upgrade. I have one question, can you connect the Peplink Balance 20X to another wifi and wired Ethernet and bond the connections with your SIMs? In short I want bond wifi, ethernet and mobile SIM to live stream events.
@@MobileInternetResourceCenterthanks for your response. I read through that and watched the video but did not get the answer as far as bonding wifi etc.
@@MobileInternetResourceCenter Thank you. I almost ordered one. What is close to the Balance 20X with wifi as wan. Sorry to bother you but I know, but know a lot about these units. My budget is around $900 but want something wifi as wan as a feature.
Here's our full guide to routers: www.rvmobileinternet.com/routers - if you're one of our members, please do continue with any questions in the forums.
Thanks for the info. What if my overall cell connection is crappy in the first place? Will a cell booster actually help? And can it be used alone or with one of these dual routers. Im going to be in a campground for 5 months, cell connectivity is bad, it drops to 3g at times and upload speeds are like 3-5mb. The campground has wifi but its not much faster? Should I go with a wifi booster first or is there a better and cost effective option for cell service.
@@MobileInternetResourceCenter so then how do you determine what is best to start with? I’d rather not have to buy a bunch of different equipment to see the best option and be stuck with items that I can’t routers, boosters I can’t use. How do you approach it?
We're focused on mobile applications for RVers and boaters - folks who move locations often, where an 'arsenal' of tools increases odds of connectivity. Stationary/rural is a unique challenge that we don't cover.
Modem is a misnomer! Modems were part of the early dial-up world converting analog to digital and back again (twang, twang, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee). Modems (as they are called today) are digital gateways to allow your ISP to identify you on the universal bus of a cable, or fiber-optic or wireless internet provided by an MVNO. Most times nowadays a wireless WiFi router is integrated into the Modem, yet with or without (WiFi) you can add your own router/WiFi also. Again, modems went out with dial-up!
@@MobileInternetResourceCenter True. Modems have never been in more active use than today. Every phone has several. As a matter of fact, modulation and - in particular - demodulation of LTE and 5G signals is an incredible feat of engineering.
