Product Description
The Peplink MAX BR1 Pro 5G receives wireless cellular signal and converts it to WiFi, creating a large WiFi “hotspot” in 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 MIMO-3-17 MIMO (multiple-input, multiple-output) antenna sends and receives signal to the cell tower through four 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.

To use the Peplink MAX BR1 Pro 5G 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.
Because the Poynting antenna broadcasts WiFi signal from the exterior roof of your vehicle, this system is not best-suited for RVs or towables with metal exteriors, like Airstream® trailers.
The Peplink MAX BR1 Pro 5G 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!
The Poynting MIMO-3-17 antenna has two mounting options for flexible use as a cellular donor and WiFi broadcast antenna on your RV, trailer, van, or other vehicle.
