WIFI-As-WAN & Roof Mounted Wifi Options
The MK2 supports Wifi-As-Wan out of the box meaning you can pick up wifi signals from hotspots, campgrounds, and other sources to rebroadcast them into your coach. The wireless antennas included with the MK2 will pick up these signals. If you are looking for a longer range option to pick up distant WiFI signals you can add a roof-mounted antenna to further improve your ability to pick up campground wifi signals.

All hardware and accessories are included to get started with your Pepwave MAX BR1, including two 4G LTE antennas, two Wi-Fi antennas, a GPS antenna, and a 12-volt AC power supply. You can also ditch the power supply and run 12v cables directly into the MK2 for efficient non-inverter installation.
