How Does it Work?

Application 1. TV

Receives terrestrial Freeview TV channels when connected to a TV with inbuilt Freeview Tuner. The included signal booster improves signal strength in rural areas and allows the antenna to supply two TVs.

Application 2. Internet

It also uses a fast X router to create a WiFi hotspot in your vehicle. The 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 Combo kit will also connect to existing WiFi connections (such as your home) and repeat the signal.

Do I need a SIM card for the internet application?

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.

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 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. This picks up the best network in the location you are in.

Who is it For?

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

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

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

Yes you absolutely can! The Roam X Combo system 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.

You will need about 2 – 3Mbps for standard definition streaming and about 3 – 5 Mbps for HD streaming which are achieved almost everywhere in the UK with the Roam X Combo system.

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

What are the differences between the Roam Combo, Roam X Combo and Roam 5G Combo?

The main difference is the speed capability of the router. The Roam X Combo is a CAT6 router which means maximum speeds are 300 megabites per second compared to 150 megabytes per second on the CAT4 Roam. The other difference is the capability to handle multiple heavy users simultaneously.

What are the Main Technical Details I Need to Know?

- The router has 2 SIM slots
- 4 ethernet ports allowing additional wired devices
- CAT 6 with download speeds of up to 300Mbps
- The antenna is omni directional, this means that no manual adjustment needed.
- The router has 2 WiFi outputs. 2.4Ghz for more range and slightly less speed, and 5Ghz for less range and more speed, perfect for many different applications

Will it Work in Europe?

Yes, it will work in Europe. The Roam X Combo works across the UK and Europe but this is dependent on data provider and contract. Due to Brexit there are some restrictions on how much data you can use with your UK sim card in Europe.

- 12V 4G Router

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.
