Improve WiFi While in Your Prevost

[Joe Camper]

It is the only wifi I have I use it for all wifi at home and on the road the only time I ever went over my package is recently I watched a bunch of free live tv off my new live direct tv capability.

Also have to have an exzisting Verizon account prior. Its 4g i know that and its just as quick as the home wifi it replaced .


Also gave out a free HP compact mini when I signed up.

Joe, my discounted VZ plan is about $90 a month which includes tethering my smartphone to Wi-Fi devices and 5G of data. My preference is Wi-Fi, even to connect my phone when at home, and when the Wi-Fi performance is better than VZ. In Canada and Ak I didn't use VZ data at all. In fact I turned off data while in Canada due to unnecessary expense.

VZ must like you Joe. The price around here with is about the same Gil is paying.

Im not streaming data thru my cell phone I use for phone calls. I have been given a seporate second # for interet service it costs an additional 20 bucks a month and anyone can get the same thing

Next time U R at VZ ask them to explain the "mobile office manager" that is the device I am using to put the data thru my mini hp instead of a phone.

Joe, so you have the $90/mn or thereabouts data plan on your phone and pay another $20/mn to avoid using your phone's built-in Wi-Fi capability. I assume you don't get any extra data with that 20 bucks, just a data only device, which I assume to be their Mi-Fi card.

Dale, here's the one I use: http://www.ampedwireless.com/family/...s/sr10000.html The only thing I don't like about this one is that it has to be configured from the Ethernet port. I would prefer to have one configurable over the local Wi-Fi link.

Gil are you saying a router works without being connected to a DSL line just the computer wired to the router?

[Joe Camper]

I only have 1 laptop and VZ is the only internet I pay for both at home and on the road.

I had the VZ office manager installed or downloaded or whatever into it

I still have my cell phone that is wifi but it is completly useless for what I need while traveling. The buttons are to small the screen is too small and all around joke.


They kinda solved that with the new tablets but they are still a bit pricey for me and I would still prefer a conventional laptop with a keyboard anyway.

My monthly with VZ is over 200 but I have other things going on.

The data plan I have was tweeked by one of the VZ associates that suggested I go with the smallest plan based on my prior usage and it was the 20 dollar a month (i started with a larger plan but neverused even 1/2). I think the packages go up in incraments of 10 dollars

I use it for all my wifi needs so its like im a fulltimer with it and it has almost always been under the package data allowance.

The only signal I have coming in my home now is for TV I dumped the land line phone and all internet to the house and the additinal 20 bucks I give VZ is all it cost me for internet both home and away.

As I continue to learn more about the free live tv direct tv now offers I will undubtably need to go to a bigger plan depending on how much TV I watch on it in the future.


"VZ mobile office manager" for those with big fat fingers and poor vision like me U will love it instead of pumping the signal into the phone U send it into your current laptop instead, couldnt be nicer.

Dont remember what I was paying for internet at the house that I canceled but im sure it was more than that.

Joe, VZ can turn on mobile tethering on most any Wi-Fi capable smart phone. This allows you to connect up to 5 simultaneous devices, like your laptop, to the smartphone and use the phone's data plan.
