The Peplink MAX BR1 Mini receives wireless cellular signal and converts it to WiFi, creating a large WiFi “hotspot” in and around your RV, motorhome, motor coach, fifth wheel, trailer, van, or other vehicle. With the Peplink MAX BR1 Mini, computers, tablets, smart TVs, and other WiFi devices can use your cellular data plan to access the internet.

The Poynting PUCK-5 MIMO (multiple-input, multiple-output) antenna sends and receives signal to the cell tower through two simultaneous data streams, providing improved signal strength and quality. The same antenna also broadcasts 2.4 and 5 GHz WiFi signal through twin MIMO connections.

SIM card required (important—please read)

To use the Peplink MAX BR1 Mini as a cellular–WiFi router, you must have an activated nano-SIM card with a data plan. You can obtain a SIM card from your cellular carrier (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, etc.) and add it as an additional line on your existing plan. You can also purchase SIM cards from many retailers, including Amazon, Walmart, Target, and Best Buy; the data plan will either have a recurring monthly payment or will be a prepaid “pay-as-you-go” plan.

A nano-SIM card

is about the size of a fingernail.

Who is the RV Peplink MAX BR1 Mini for?

Class A motorhomes (30–45 feet long).
Class C motorhomes (20–30 feet long).
Class B vans, including the Mercedes Sprinter, Ford Transit, Dodge Promaster, and others.
Fifth wheels, travel trailers, toy haulers, and other towables.
Government agencies with RVs that serve as mobile command posts (police, disaster recovery, etc.).
Anyone who needs the best, most reliable cell phone connectivity in their RV or towable.

The Peplink MAX BR1 Mini router works best in areas where outside cellular signal is fair or moderate. For locations with weak cellular signal, a cell signal booster may be a better option in your RV, trailer, or van. If you have any questions about which option is right for you, please feel free to contact Powerful Signal—we’ll be happy to help you!
