Winegard is a leading provider of RV-associated gear, including cellular connectivity and over-the-air TV antennas designed for RV use.
The ConnecT dome units, which debuted in 2018, are Winegard's all-in-one connectivity solution that provides a basic router, Wi-Fi, cellular, and a TV antenna all in a single rooftop dome.
The Winegard ConnecT dome has been a factory-installed option offered by many RV manufacturers since its launch, and it has also been a popular aftermarket upgrade.
There are multiple versions, and over the years, the underlying hardware has changed somewhat. Most models are branded as the "ConnecT 2.0" and a wide variety of options have been offered for this over the years for the aftermarket and OEMs. Crucially, some models only support 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi 4), but others support 5 GHz (Wi-Fi 5). In July 2025, a new 5G model was introduced, the "ConnecT 5G."

NOTE: Winegard tells us that the original ConnecT is NOT being discontinued, and it will remain available for the time being. Both the new and old ConnecT models are being offered as factory-installed options by several RV manufacturers, so if you are speccing out an RV be sure to make sure that you know what you are ordering - and make sure that it will actually meet your needs. Keep in mind that there is no easy upgrade path between the ConnecT 1.0 and 2.0 - they are different form factors.
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.
But you might not need a router in your setup. Here's a quick video overview the variety that routers come in:
