Review: 4G CampPro 2+ by Alfa (Mobile Router)

The Alfa 4G CampPro 2+ combines an external cellular modem with an outside high gain antenna, that plugs into an internal router to share a 4G LTE cellular connection.

It should not be confused with the Alfa WiFi CampPro 2, which does not have a cellular modem but supports WiFi-as-WAN. The 4G Camp Pro 2+ does not support the Wi-Fi as WAN functionality - just LTE.

The 4G CampPro2+ package combines an Alfa R36AH WLAN Router Repeater Extender with a Tube-U4G outdoor 4G/LTE USB modem and an AOA-4G-5AM outdoor 4G omni antenna and associated accessories.

This unique combination places the modem, radio and antenna all together for minimum signal loss and gain.

Further Education on Mobile Routers The Central Conductor of a Local Area Network

Routers can serve as a central conductor of your local area network in your RV and boat. Mobile routers are different from residential routers in that they typically support multiple internet sources like cellular and Wi-Fi, can be powered off of 12v or AC and support external antenna for better receiving signal.
