How to add WiFi to your motorhome with one air card

I am new to the forum and have not reviewed the four pages related to this posting but I have been using a Verizon air card for four years and been extremely happy with it. It works everywhere and it's about $75 a month for unlimited usage. I've logged on to the Motosat that they have for their $5500 high-speed Internet satellite. That's the one that let you go high-speed both directions for streaming video or voice over IP. I can say that a lot of those owners have backup air cards like Verizon or another brand for when they are expensive Motosat's are down which seems to be frequent enough for them to have and need a backup like the air card.

Here's a neat link (and web site in general) for the buses like the one we have. One of the users but this neat website together and keeps on adding interesting material and articles on various "How To's". One of them shows how to add WiFi using one air card so that multiple users can have access to it. Personally, I just have one WiFi card for my computer and I pay for a second one for my wife because we're often in different places and both need access so the solution suggested at this website has information but it might work for some of you all. Here's the link Welcome to Prevoman WiFi on the Bus

Hey......... everybody........ I've posted a new listing today needing some help on a 2005 and 22 foot Safari. No replies yet. If anyone has time to read that posting and answer thank you in advance.

Here's Apple's page on using your iPhone as a Modem:

Apple - iPhone - Learn how to use all the features of iPhone.

I'm using iPhone 3.0 GM (the developer pre-release) and unfortunately I don't see the Tethering option described in this article. So I suspect that has to be enabled by AT&T, perhaps with an additional charge.

We just purchased the Verizon MIFI 2200. It is a wireless hot spot that supports 5 computers, they can all get online at the same time. It cost $99 after rebates, with a plan; same prices as the Aircard, $39 and $59. It really works for us and could be the wireless internet answer for some travelers.

Thanks, Scenario.

I'll keep an eye out -- looks like a good solution if it supports the bandwidth at a reasonable upcharge.

I have a smart phone with modem software installed. If I can get a cell signal, I've got internet.
FYI - You need an unlimted data plan for this to be a good option.

Here. I don't use Wi-Fi on the road. I use Verizon air card. Can't belive anyone would not want to be able to have their connection anywhere anytime and have to track down a hot spot but for those of you who do, you might find this helpful. They make a bunch of them. Here's one.
