The Roam antenna mounted on the Raiser Bracket (click for product details) Do I need a SIM card? Yes you will. You have several options available: 1. All Maxview Roam systems come with a Maxview SIM pre-inserted into the router. This has unlimited data for £19.99 a month. You will have a QR code on the router for activation and there should also be a leaflet with a QR code eSIM. 2. Other physical SIM cards from other network providers. Since you are not locked into our Maxview SIM, you can use any other network such as EE or 3. If you are streaming a lot then it is recommended you have a high data package, or unlimited data. With app control Our specially designed app can be used to easily monitor the usage or change settings on the router, wherever you are in the vehicle. This eliminates the need to go inside your cupboard to check a screen or LEDs on the router. What are the differences between the Roam and the Roam X? The main difference is the speed capability of the router. The Roam X is a CAT6 router which means maximum speeds are 300 megabytes per second compared to 150 megabytes per second on the Roam. The other difference is the capability to handle multiple heavy user simultaneously. What are the main technical details I need to know? Firstly, the router receives 4G and turns it into a WiFi hotspot. Secondly, the router can also connect to other WiFi sources so you only use your 4G when necessary. The antenna is omni directional, this means that no manual adjustment needed. The router has 2 ethernet ports providing a connection directly to a device. Will it work in Europe? Yes, it will work in Europe. The Roam works across the UK and Europe but this is dependent on data provider and contract. Due to Brexit there are some restrictions on how much data you can use with your UK sim card in Europe, we go into more detail about this in our SIM card article.

The Roam antenna is 5G ready and compatible with all 5G frequency bands as standard so it’s ready when this new technology arrives in rural and remote areas. The router itself uses 4G. At the moment, the speeds which can be obtained using our 4G router and our antenna are sufficient for all every day uses of the internet, from checking emails to streaming Netflix or BBC iPlayer in HD. 5G is largely intended for futuristic technologies such as self-driving cars. If you are interested to learn more about the subject you can read our expert-written article on 5G here. Can I use a VPN with the Roam Campervan router? Yes you can, you can read our guide on how to do this here. Will I be able to connect smart devices such as lights, CCTV cameras and smart switches? Yes, absolutely. You will be able to connect to the WiFi connection with your smart devices in the same way you connect them to your router at home. It’s worth bearing in mind that the router will need to be continually powered for the WiFi connection to remain on, so if you are checking WiFi CCTV cameras then the router will need to be on also when you are not there. This may come down to what battery you have installed.
