No WiFi

[Robert8316]

We have not installed WiFi in our remote home due to poor service provider options.  Thinking of offer a WiFi hotspot to guests.  What are others doing?

Thanks for the additional info.  I just looked up Starlink pricing - $150/month and looks like they have a special on the hardware kit right now ($300 vs $400). 

We have good cell coverage at our place, so thinking of offering WiFi when needed and using a rental hotspot.  Again, have had good luck with the guys at Rent'nconnect for their rental hotspots for business travel domestically and internationally.  They can connect up to 10 devices.  I believe that 4G supports 15mbps - 20mbps downloads (so not as fast as Starlink's 90mbps, but acceptable).  Their costs run about $7/day and around $100/mo for the device and service.

@Robert8316 the rates depend on the service and hardware you need. The stationary service is $499 for the modem + $120/month. If you want to take it in an RV you can use this one but not on the move. If you want a modem that auto adjusts while youre on the move, you have to upgrade to the Roam modem which is the same price $499 but the service is more $150/month. They also have a boat service which is a lot more expensive but in the open ocean which is $2500 for the modem and between $250 and $5000 per month for the service. Hope that helps!

Many people in similar situations have opted to provide WiFi hotspots for guests in remote locations where traditional WiFi services are limited. This solution allows guests to access the internet through mobile data networks instead. It's a practical approach since many guests already have devices capable of connecting to mobile hotspots, such as smartphones or tablets. This way, guests can enjoy internet access without relying on local service providers that may offer inadequate service in remote areas.

Great to know.  Any idea on what providers or sources for WiFi hotspots people are using?
