My Internet is important to me. I do quite a bit on the Internet as you might imagine if you know me even a little bit. The Internet is my one big indulgence. So when we found out the Wilder Internet was going away and would not be available next season it was time for some investigation. I like to think ahead. So we decided to try Coba since it was a pay-as-you-go system, no contract, start and stop as you need, and 3 levels of availability depending on your expectations and usage. I decided on the middle option. There is some upfront cost but indulgence, remember? Also Butch and I have 8 devices that have a need for wifi usage. No system works well if it is overloaded

Since we have used it now for about 6 weeks we are frequently asked about it. It was a bit rocky in the beginning because we tried to use an outside bin with an electrical plug on the motorhome as a home for the router. The signal was weak this way so we brought it inside the Motorhome by way of the slideout and then it worked perfectly and has ever since. They first tried to mount it on the ladder on the back of the motorhome but could not obtain line-of-site to the antenna so it now resides on a tripod near the front of the motorhome. One other tip. If you have been hooked to the Wilder Internet you will need to go into your settings and delete it because it will argue with the new system. There is a place where it says "Forget it" and that is what you need to do with it. That most likely will not be necessary once that old system is no longer available.
I am not being compensated for this blog entry. I think it would be nice if I were but no, it is not happening.
