Getting internet access while staying on someone’s property has some unique challenges.

Installation of mobile antennas can be tricky, especially since the components must be secure, unobtrusive, weatherproof, and abide by any height limitations. Additionally, running the necessary wires in an RV or boat can sometimes be difficult, and might force tradeoffs due to cable length limitations. Directionality can also be an issue since a mobile installation is, well, mobile! The “best” alignment at one location almost certainly will not be ideal at the next. Unlike a fixed location, mobile antenna installations need to account for all of these unique challenges!

Nomads typically juggle multiple internet sources coming into their network. It takes a special kind of router to be able to interface with and share and manage these connections.

Many Peplink routers support Wi-Fi-as-WAN to use a remote Wi-Fi network as an upstream internet source. But it comes with trade-offs that may have you considering also using an access point.
