Stay Connected To the Internet Even On the Go
Having a stable internet connection is important specially when you're on the go.
Whether you need Google Maps or Waze directions when driving in your RV, or want to watch YouTube videos while camping in an RV park, you need a fast and stable Internet connection for all your devices. Unfortunately, you usually get flaky, slow, or unreliable Internet connections when traveling in an RV. And this means you can’t get any work done, nor you can relax.
So, to recap: here’s what you have to solve when traveling in an RV:
- Get fast and stable RV Internet;
- Share that to all your devices with an RV WiFi router.
Let’s see the best solutions for each, so you’ll get the best online experience while traveling in your RV.
Quick answer
Should you have a backup 4G, 5G, Starlink, or cable internet connection?
Yes — every internet connection goes down, including Starlink, which drops for ~34 minutes a day on average. A backup connection from a different provider means one outage never takes you fully offline. The most common options are a 4G/5G cellular hotspot, a cable or DSL line, or a second satellite dish.
4G/5G cellular
Works anywhere. Just a SIM or hotspot — no installation needed.

Best for fixed locations. Different network, so outages rarely overlap.

Adds redundancy and throughput for remote sites or heavy usage.

Speedify Feature · Pair & Share
Speedify Pair & Share: share cellular between your devices, both ways
Most hotspots give. Speedify's Pair & Share gives and takes. Two devices running Speedify pair up and each uses the other's cellular connection simultaneously, so you both get faster uploads, faster downloads, and a steadier connection. No extra hardware, no new data plans, no setup beyond a tap.

If a paired device drops out, Speedify keeps you online on the remaining links.
Always private

Runs on devices already running Speedify, over your local network. Pair once, reconnects automatically.
What Internet Connections Should You Go With?
Whenever you’re on the move in your RV, you have to rely on any Internet connection you can get.
3 main ways to access the Internet
- public or private accessible WiFi networks. Examples include Starbucks, McDonalds, the ones in RV parks, etc.
- cellular connections–Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, Vodafone, etc.
- satellite connections–Dish, Hughesnet, Starband, etc.
Assuming you have access to multiple connections–WiFi, cellular, satellite–this will not save you from slow Internet. Each connection can be slow on its own. The best you can get is to stay online, with short disconnects while you switch between connections.
To fix this, you can use an app that uses channel bonding technology to combine all available connections at once on your device. Speedify is a bonding VPN that you can use on your laptop, smartphone, or Linux (Ubuntu and Raspberry Pi OS) device. It will seamlessly combine all connections together for faster, more reliable Internet. So, even if one of them drops or has issues, Speedify will automatically reroute traffic to the working ones.
The best part is that, even if you’re using just one connection, Speedify can improve the Internet by fixing packet loss.
Getting back to the subject of this article–RV WiFi router–set up Speedify to combine all available connections either on your PC or on a Linux device such as a Raspberry Pi.
- Go to speedify.com/download
