WeBoost and the likes are 'boosters' for the incoming signal, ie. It's for extending the range of the WiFi network itself, for example if you live in a large house where the wifi from the router doesn't reach the other side of the house. The range extender you linked will do nothing in your van. Is a booster still worth it, then? Any advice? So, that’s how often I’d probably be somewhere remote where there’s less internet service. When I park slightly far away, there’s barely any signal.Īlso, I would like to travel to some more remote kind of areas, like to go hiking or camping, but I probably won’t do that all the time, more like about 30% - 40% of the time I’d like to stay at some remote scenic areas, but more often I’d like being closer to cities, as it’s easier for me to get necessary supplies like groceries and such if I’m close by. Places like Best Buy and Starbucks, I was able to get a perfectly good signal, I could do my work and everything, but each time I was parked very close by. I don’t own any internet services for my truck yet, but I have already tried parking near businesses that have free wifi and just tried to simply see if my laptop would connect, and it did. Or, do you think a cheap little wifi booster/extender that’s normally used in regular houses, like this for example, would work to boost the wifi? I’ve never seen van lifers use them….so no clue if it’s gonna even do anything: I’m on the fence about it because wifi boosters tend to be pretty expensive, from like $300 - $600, (like Weboost or Winegard for example) and I have no idea if it will even actually work, so I don’t know if it’s worth the risk, or if I’d be perfectly fine without the booster and just using the MOFI router using a SIM card. Some say they work really good, some say the wifi boosters barely boost the signal and they aren’t reliable, not worth the money. However, when I look online, I always see mixed reviews about WiFi boosters.

I was interested in maybe getting a wifi booster in addition to a MOFI router where I’d use a SIM card for the router to get internet service, as that’s what I see a lot of vanlifers do on YouTube vids. I work at my job remotely on the computer every weekday, so having good internet is important to me. I’m building out my 14 foot box truck to live in full time and have been researching wifi set ups.
