Winegard Speed test while camping
Before Wingard while camping our internet speed was slow and spotty. Having to Hotspot off the phone was frustrating. The install was easy and the results are great. Very please with our decision.

Waste of $$ but had to try
I have a 2022 East To West Silverlake RV with a Winegard dome in the roof. Apparently the dome is only good for FM radio & cable tv channels, NOT the internet⦠was told to be able to tap into the WiFi at my RV Resort, I needed this router.NOT an easy install if you donât mess with electricity, so I hired a guy⦠couldnât find the wires in the port so he cut portions off of my ceiling to reach them. We didnât install the on off switch since thereâs a reset button (avoiding more electricity) & itâs installed.I *still* do not get a decent signal (even though my RV Resort has killer internet available here) & had to get a signal booster on top of this⦠only I donât know how to make the two work together & I canât afford to call the installer back ($100 to put it in my ceiling & he didnât even install the on off switch!!)Given my rig cost $45,000.00, it really should have come internet ready ð ð¤¬So for me, this was a waste of money, time & put holes in my bedroom ceiling ðððð¼

Great tech support
Update:I reached out to Winegard support, within a few minutes with them on the phone they realized it had a problem and quickly sent me out a new unit and it is working flawlessly, I would now highly recommend them and the great customer service.I received the gateway 1000 very fast, box looked to be resealed several times, looks like a return.Installation was easy and fast, when I inserted the att SIM card it was not recognized in the top slot 1, removed the Winegard sim from slot zero and placed the att sim in slot zero and it worked.Unit reboots randomly also the WiFi disappears and no internet connectivity I think the unit is defective.I reached out to Winegard support and after going back and forth with them via email they are shipping me a replacement so we will updat the review after installing the replacement, fingers crossed it works as expected.

Good, but pricey
I think the equipment works well, but it’s grossly overpriced. That being said, I found the best price here.

Great idea, but had trouble using with campground’s WiFi captive portal
This sounded like an ideal solution. Our regular campground has public WiFi that can get overloaded on busy weekends, and then I have to resort to using my portable MiFi device, which only works outside the camper, because the single is too weak in the mountainous area we are in. So this looked like an excellent option allowing a seamless way to switch between the campground WiFi and my cellular service when needed. Hooking up the device was a piece of cake. The fact that our new camper was prewired and had the Winegard AIR 360+ installed made it incredibly easy to physically install and get going.Unfortunately it got complicated from there. I was not able to get the WiFi working correctly with our campground’s public WiFi, despite having a good signal. It seemed to get stuck due to the face that our campground has a captive portal on its WiFi network (where when you first access the WiFi, you have to agree to the services Terms and Conditions), before your device will be able to communicate to the public internet. Unfortunately, no matter what I tried, I could not get the portal’s T&C page to load, and thus was not able to get the gateway to become authorized and go online. When I tried it with a different WiFi which was simply private and thus password protected, it work immediately and worked very well.I decided to try to put a Verizon SIM card in the gateway and try using that. After going through a couple steps for setup, it worked immediately. Actually, it worked much better than when we had our phones outside the camper on the Verizon LTE network directly. It seemed that the added height of the antenna on the AIR 360+ made a world of difference in out location and the connection to Verizon was rock solid and worked excellent.This was a tough choice, as I am pretty confident I would eventually be able to figure out what the hang up with the campground’s active portal was preventing this from working with the GW-1000 right away. However, the return window was closing soon on the Amazon order and I just had discovered the option of the WiFi Ranger Gateway being available. So I decided to return the GW-1000 and try the other gateway.BTW, the pre-wired cables coming off of the AIR 360+ are three MCX male connectors. The yellow and green connect to the 4G LTE antenna, and the red is for the external WiFi antenna. The remaining cable on our Keystone camper was the 12V line which was already pre-wired to a switch on the TV/Media center. Thus for those with a little knowledge of these things, it would be easy to use with other devices and the appropriate adaptors for the external antennas.

Easy to install
We purchased this to go into our fifth wheel as we had the wiring but we did not have this in it in order to get our Wi-Fi. It was a little difficult to set up as far as connecting it to our Wi-Fi. We had to call and talk to Wingard who explain to us in an easier way that You canât have it set up through Wi-Fi. It Has to go through some cell option on your phone. so I suggest if you canât get it figured out you call Wingard and talk to them personally and they will walk you through setting this up and making sure the setting is correct but you do need to be close to another Wi-Fi or have your own Wi-Fi hooked up because you have to have one item on your new setting up Wi-Fi and your other item phone laptop tablet whatever youâre accessing it on on another Wi-Fi during the set up process, so good luck, but this product does work fantastically just a little difficult to set up

I decided to spend the 500$ Canadian to put this on my RV. Hook up was fairly simple but the quality of the product is terrible. I hooked it to my home wifi internet to test it, the signal was very disappointing. The wifi signal to my phone was 300 mbp and when I switched it to the Winegard it was only 13mbp. That is not enough to even stream on my firestick. I called support and they tried troubleshooting and said that is a normal signal for the Winegard. I will get better signal tethering it to my phone or using the campground wifi. I was told it would boost your signal which it does not at all. I am hoping I can return it as it is a total waste of money.

Here in Canada I use a Rogers Rocket Hub (ZTE MF275), inside my RV I get 2 bars (40%) LTE signal with the ISP portable hub. With the Winegard GW-1000 connected to the roof top Winegard Air 360+ I got only 3G 28% signal strength with the same service at the same location with about 1/4 of the speed compared to the Rocket Hub.Didn’t have a chance to use it as a wireless bridge. I’m glad I did not mount it permanently (no holes done in my new RV ceiling) it is being returned for a refund.

I wanted it to boost cell service data, but you really do need a sim card. And you need to cut a hole in your trailer wall to install the on-off switch. Too much.

Not as advertised. Sold me a refurbished unit with an IMEI number that could not be used. A complete waste of my time and energy trying to get this activated through the ISP.Refund requested.
