Do you want to know how to get broadband in a motorhome or how to get broadband in a caravan?

Read our exclusive guide below to discover why you might need broadband in your motorhome or caravan and discover the best solution for you.

 

Challenges of Getting Internet in a Motorhome or Caravan

You must consider some of these common challenges when trying to get internet in your motorhome or caravan:

Unreliable campsite WiFi

Have you ever paid for campsite WiFi and it just doesn’t cut it?

Due to shared connections, poor signal strength and slow speeds, campsite WiFi is mostly unreliable. If you’re trying to stream or watch catch-up TV, this makes entertainment almost impossible.

On top of this, campsite WiFi can be costly. Spending daily fees for each campsite visit is an extra cost you don’t need.

Mobile network inconsistencies

You don’t want to rely on your mobile phone data for important work, leisurely entertainment or daily communication. Rural or remote areas often have poor mobile data signals, leaving you without a suitable connection for streaming.

Need for flexible solutions

Once you leave a campsite, you lose connection to the Wi-Fi. It’s back to square one.

You may want flexible broadband on the go to keep your kids entertained or stay connected when you travel elsewhere.

Solutions for stationary and on-the-move motorhomes will provide a strong broadband connection and the flexibility you deserve to meet your needs.

Data concerns

Your data could be at risk when you connect to campsite WiFi. Whether you’re streaming, working, or surfing the internet, you’re likely sharing data with others.

Broadband solutions are your perfect alternative to campsite WiFi because you keep personal information private.

 

Types of Broadband & WiFi Solutions

FALCON Technology offers effective alternatives for motorhomes and caravans if you want a one-stop solution to your broadband issues.

Mobile 4G Solutions

Without the cost of campsite WiFi, Mobile 4G router solutions offer high-speed access, 5x the 3G or 4G performance on your phone and save you money.

The external omnidirectional antenna doesn’t need a metal ground plate for installation, so you can enjoy a speedy data connection without mounting it onto your motorhome or caravan roof.

Additionally, the router is unlocked meaning you choose a provider that suits your needs to avoid the hassle of joining a mobile network.

Our Mobile 4G solutions work with EE, Vodafone, Tesco Mobile, O2, Giffgaff, and many more.

Top Tip: If you purchase for occasional use, we recommend a Pay As You Go SIM. This way, you aren’t tied to an unnecessary contract.

Mobile 5G Solutions

Mobile 5G Solutions are the future of mobile broadband.

With an antenna 3 times the strength of a phone, the lightning-fast streaming speeds are the perfect solution for remote workers or following your favourite show on catchup.

Like the 4G Solutions, the FALCON 5G router for caravans and motorhomes collects signals from 360 degrees, so you don’t have to spend time realigning the connection. It removes the setup hassle and saves you time.

Plug-and-Play Solutions

Are you searching for a quick setup, beginner, and travel-friendly solution? You will save time and experience quality internet with plug-and-play solutions.

Plug-and-Play 4G Solutions

The FALCON 4G router has both the router and antenna system in one, saving you any set-up faff with a combined solution.

Other benefits include:

  • High-speed 4G signal so you can browse the internet or stream movies with the family.
  • Easy setup. Simply plug in and enjoy your world-class internet connection.
  • Highly flexible–you choose your data provider and pay the best rates.
  • Connect up to 10 devices, stream and keep the kids entertained at the same time.
  • It’s waterproof, so you can set it up outside your van meaning you don’t need to drill any holes in your roof.

Plug-and-Play 5G Solutions

If you need a powerhouse broadband provider, the plug-and-play 5G solutions will give you the best 5G speeds for a seamless internet connection, no matter the location.

You can even take it out with you. Experience a WiFi connection up to 2.5 times the strength of a 5G signal in your pocket. All you need is your chosen SIM card.

Plus, the built-in battery allows complete flexibility. Stream and browse without any electricity or move your router outside the caravan to avoid clutter.

The FALCON EVO Mobile Deluxe also connects with up to 32 devices, so you can work outside and take video calls while the kids stream a movie.

Installed Solutions

If you’re a long-term traveller or enjoy spending extended time at one location, an installed internet solution gives you a permanent connection.

Whether you want an installed solution or a DIY alternative, FALCON Technology offers solutions to fit all budgets.

The FALCON Evo 5 Installed Solutions give you complete freedom without campsite WiFi and 2.5 times the strength of 5G signal. Working in your caravan or entertaining the family with a movie night is simple.

Usually, installed solutions remain once fitted. Whereas, our installed router can be removed from your caravan or motorhome, providing a flexible mobile solution when you’re on the go.

Take your solution, and install it into another caravan or motorhome whenever you want.

Rural 4G

Finding a mobile signal can be a nightmare for those who prefer secluded, remote environments. FALCON’s Rural 4G systems provide a network signal in remote areas, so you can enjoy streaming regardless of location.

The Omni directional antenna means a strong connection and a flawless internet experience for rural campers who prefer a secluded location.

Smart Combo Range

FAQs for How to Get Broadband in a Motorhome or Caravan

What is the best broadband solution for motorhomes?

The best broadband solution for you depends on your situation. If you’re looking for casual or leisurely use, such as browsing, a 4G plug-and-play solution allows for instant connection. Alternatively, remote workers or those streaming in their motorhomes would benefit from an installed 5G system for faster broadband.

Do I need installation or can I set it up myself?

FALCON Technology offers easy plug-and-play options and DIY setup kits with clear instructions for those who rely on motorhome broadband. Or if you need help, head to FALCON’s Cheshire-based fitting facility or call mobile engineers for a professional setup.

Can I use my FALCON router in multiple vehicles?

Yes, but only a few options can. The plug-and-play and portable 4G or 5G options mean you can gain broadband access in any of your vehicles. Our products can be moved after installation. Best of all, you can take the router out with you–on a picnic or for a walk–giving you broadband access everywhere.

What is the easiest way to get broadband in my motorhome?

A plug-and-play 4G or 5G router is without a doubt the simplest option. Devices like the FALCON 4G Combo require no installation; you simply turn them on and connect to your broadband. The FALCON EVO Mobile Deluxe provides a 5G version for those who want a stronger connection.

Is mobile broadband cheaper than satellite internet?

Yes! An internet satellite set-up requires expensive equipment, installation fees, and repeat WiFi bill payments. Whereas, 4G and 5G mobile internet is simple to set up and affordable. On top of this, you can use a Pay As You Go SIM instead of committing to a contract.

Do I need a data SIM card to use a Falcon motorhome WiFi router?

Yes, all of our motorhome WiFi routers need a data SIM card to connect to a 4G or 5G mobile network. The good news is our routers are completely unlocked, so you can use a data SIM card from any major network including EE, Vodafone, O2, Three, Tesco Mobile and Giffgaff. This gives you the freedom to shop around for the best deal and switch providers whenever you like. Pay As You Go SIMs work brilliantly for occasional users, while monthly contracts with larger data allowances suit those who travel more often. Some of our newer 5G routers also support eSIM, giving you even more flexibility when travelling abroad.

Can I create my own private wi fi network in my motorhome or caravan?

Yes, that’s exactly what a Falcon motorhome WiFi router does. Once your router is set up with a data SIM card, it creates its own private wi fi network inside your vehicle, just like the broadband router you’d have at home. The network is password protected, so only you and your family can connect to it. You can have multiple devices connected at the same time, with our 4G routers supporting up to 10 devices and our 5G routers supporting up to 32. This gives you a secure, reliable connection that’s completely separate from any campsite wi fi network, keeping your personal information safe.

Is motorhome WiFi better than a satellite dish for internet?

For most people, yes. A satellite dish for internet typically requires expensive equipment, professional installation and ongoing subscription fees that can run into hundreds of pounds a month. Motorhome WiFi using 4G or 5G mobile broadband is far more affordable, with our complete kits starting from £249. You also get faster speeds in most parts of the UK, since 4G and 5G networks now cover over 99% of the population. A satellite dish for internet still has its place for people travelling to extremely remote areas with no mobile coverage at all, but for the vast majority of caravan and motorhome users in the UK and Europe, mobile WiFi is the better, cheaper and easier choice.

Will Falcon motorhome WiFi work everywhere I travel?

Falcon motorhome WiFi works anywhere there’s a 4G or 5G signal, which is over 99% of the UK and most of Europe. Our high gain external antennas pick up signals far better than your phone or a basic router would, so even in rural areas where mobile coverage seems weak, you’ll usually get a usable connection. If you regularly travel to extremely remote spots where there’s no mobile signal at all, no system will work, including a satellite dish for internet on the lower-end packages. For 99% of campsites and touring routes though, our motorhome WiFi will keep you connected throughout your trip.
