Hi all, welcome back to my 2014 Ford Transit Custom campervan conversion.

Any of this useful? Feel free to buy me a beer - https://www.buymeacoffee.com/nickthegeek

In this video I install a 4G Mobile Internet WiFi router in to my camper.
To do this, I use a Huawei E5577 MiFi device, combined with a Poynting Puck 2 antenna, which I mount on to the roof of the van.

I also install a USB power adapter in the van and run some speed tests showing the results with and without the antenna included.

My aim with this project is to turn my #campervan in to a fully #offgrid #mobileoffice. Doing this would allow me to become a #digitalnomad should I wish. Why work from home when I can work from van?
