I ordered 2 RV units for work a few weeks ago. I had to enter the address multiple times in different ways to get it to work, what worked for the first order didn't for the second. I suggest getting on Google or the Canada post website and enter your address as it appears there, eventually it will take it.

On the upside I should have both units in my hands tomorrow to test.

Would it be worth getting the rv unit for the house and then I could use it camping for the wife working from home?

I didnt read up enough on the rv ones

The RV unit costs more per month, and it's download speeds are slower, 100mbps iirc.

Ahhhh

Yeah I've tried my postal code every possible way. I've tried 2 addresses. Guess it doesn't like me

Supposed to be the same hardware? RV and home units.

You're right, but the RV units will get throttled first to keep residential internet fast.

Just depends on where you are.

If they are like the o.g. Unit it would be too much of a pain to disassemble and pack up if you do a clean install. Especially if you mount it on your roof.

With good internet (new thing for a lot of rural people) you can set up cameras and self monitored alarm systems that will need your internet to stay home when your away.

I’m pretty close to your new digs! East a bit by Muir lake. Cell phones suck a lot of balls around here so finally getting decent internet was a game changer.

Definitely worthwhile, had my rv unit for a month now and it is very impressive. Will bbe switching out the home internet soon as well

Sounds like we have a few onewheelers in the area haha. Will have to meet up this summer.

Got to try out an RV unit today, 98mbps on the first attempt just after power on, 193mbps a few minutes later.

Far faster than the 4g smarthubs they will replace.

is your moto e capable of 2.4ghz and 5ghz wifi? You can select to split the band on the app, some older (cheaper) devices will not recognize the 5ghz network.
