The Router

the router can also be set up to receive Wi-Fi. This

specifically for vehicles and optimised to work in
rural and remote locations. Our Antenna is
now compatible with all 5G frequency bands
as standard. See 5G Ready Tab below for details.

Omni-directional
By receiving signals throughout 360 degrees, the
Roam requires no manual directional adjustment;
simply fit and forget.

Sleek Antenna Design

mounting; occupies minimal roof space, for a discreet
installation. It can be mounted in almost any
position with mounting options available. Dimensions

features a durable Aluminium housing
with unique anti vibration mounting bracket.

15 FAQs on the Maxview Roam X WiFi System | 5G Ready Antenna

I need troubleshooting help with Maxview Roam or Roam X

If you are struggling to get the Roam system working properly then the first port of call should be our Roam Troubleshooting Page.: https://maxview.co.uk/maxview-roam-not-working-problems/

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.

What about 5G Connectivity?

The Roam antenna is 5G ready and compatible with all 5G frequency bands as standard so it’s ready when this new technology arrives.

The router itself uses 3G and 4G. At the moment, the speeds which can be obained using our 3G/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.: https://maxview.co.uk/caravan-motorhome-5g/

What if I already have a Roam Antenna Installated on my Roof?

In this situation we can offer the Roam X Upgrade pack to upgrade to the more powerful router and the relevant accompanying accessories.

You can see this product here.: https://maxview.co.uk/product/roam-x-upgrade-kit/

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 CAT4 Roam: https://maxview.co.uk/product/motorhome-wifi-caravan-wifi/. The other difference is the capability to handle multiple heavy user simultaneously.

If you are buying a new caravan or a second hand caravan you can mention to your dealer that you would like a Maxview Roam X WiFi kit installed and they may be able to do it for you. If they are not sure what it is then please ask them to contact us and we can advise them.

If you don’t want or need a hole in your roof, we also offer a raiser mount kit, providing the flexibility to mount your antenna anywhere on your roof and putting the cable through an existing entry.

Will I be able to watch Netflix, BBC iPlayer or Amazon Prime?

Yes you absolutely can! The Roam X kit will keep you connected to all your favourite shows in rural and remote areas, as long as you have a subscription or license for the relevant service.

Music streaming services like Spotify need a maximum of 1Mbps.

Who is it For?

The Roam X motorhome and caravan WiFi system is perfect for anyone who wants superfast and reliable internet on the move.

The Roam X WiFi system is also very popular with owners of campervans, van conversions, canal boats, trucks and horseboxes

Do I need a SIM card?

The short answer is yes. There are many different types of SIM cards to choose from and how you choose them should depend on what type of user you are.

You will be streaming a lot of Netflix or BBC iPlayer? Then you will need a lot of data. If you are watching 1 hour of videos a day, you will need around 40GB of data a month. Double this if you are watching in HD.

You will just be listening to some music, browsing restaurants and checking your emails? This is much less intensive at around 10GB per month.

You can use a data calculator: https://www.tescomobile.com/data-calculator like this one from Tesco to estimate your data usage.

The other thing to consider is whether you need a single network SIM or multi-network SIM and how important having a connection all of the time is to you.

If you are generally in the same place then you can check what’s called a coverage checker, like this one from EE: https://coverage.ee.co.uk/coverage/ee to see the coverage of EE in your specific location, you can do the same for O2, Three and Vodafone.

Alternatively, if you are travelling around a lot and it’s essential you stay connected, you can have a multi-network SIM card, like our partners BroadbandGo. : https://broadbandgo.com/#/ This picks up the best network in the location you are in.

Since April 2022 both the Roam: https://maxview.co.uk/product/motorhome-wifi-caravan-wifi/ and Roam X products are being sent out with a 5GB free multi-network SIM card from our partner BroadbandGo. You will need to register this using their app to activate it.

How Does it work?

The Roam X uses a superfast 4G router to create a WiFi hotspot in your vehicle. The 5G ready antenna significantly improves the reception of the signal and is omnidirectional, so it will perform wherever you are and without adjustment. Simply fit and forget.

The Roam X kit will also connect to existing WiFi connections (such as your home) and repeat the signal.
