Welcome to the Mobile Internet Video Course

This course has been developed by the Mobile Internet Resource Center to help you build a foundation of understanding your mobile internet needs and the options out there.

The course is designed to be as evergreen as possible and is reviewed/updated regularly by our team (last review completed in January 2025). Each lesson is designed to flow into our deeper always updated content to help you take that foundation to select your right setup of gear and data plans.

Students also get access to interactive areas for guidance from our staff.

About the Mobile Internet Video Course

There is no 'best mobile internet' setup.

There's not even a few best setups.

All of our needs are different - our travel style, what we need to do online, our budget and our technical comfort level.

And not to mention - the options are changing all the time!

We have developed this course after many years of helping thousands of RVers and cruisers assemble their ideal mobile internet setup and tracking this rapidly evolving industry.

We've designed the course to break down mobile internet topics into non-technical language - explaining things casually with examples & illustrations.

The course is intentionally focused on high level theory - so that it stays evergreen.

The course then integrates in with our constantly updated guides, gear center entries and other resources so you can effectively research the current options. The course is included with all of our MIA+ memberships starting in 2024, and can be added on for our MIA members who joined prior.

By the end of this series, you will have a foundation for understanding your unique needs, the core technologies, how to evaluate the options out there now and .. into the future.

What Our Students Are Saying

I wanted to become a member to show my appreciation for all of the great videos, and I'm so glad I did. Having access to even more resources and being able to ask questions on the Facebook group are a real bonus.

Don't think determining you mobility system is a one-time thing. As carriers keep adding more prohibitions and as technology constantly changes as well, we all will continue to need support from the excellent MIA team. I'm glad I'm on board!

Money and time very well spent on educating me further on mobile internet. Kept the course work short and to the point. Easy to navigate and return to later. Extremely satisfied!

Ed Duprey

My husband and I are about to embark on weeks/months long traveling. Every YouTube RV page, printed resource, and blog we come across recommended this site. We signed up and spent a couple of weeks watching the video course. While overwhelming, we feel like we know so much more than we could have ever learned on our own. And, we know how to navigate the materials on this site, now, to get more information. This is a wonderful service you have provided. I don't think our dream of being mobile could have been realized without this resource (it would have been much more difficult, at least!).

Thank you for this service. :)

I “stumbled” across your site while reading forums on the AGLCA site in preparation for our great loop adventure. I have learned so much in the last two days from your website, videos and guides! The information is presented in clear, concise ways so even a non-techie like me can understand it. I was overwhelmed by the prospect of trying to figure out how to get on-line to work while cruising. I now have the questions and basic knowledge to make informed decisions. Your information on cell plans & gear would be helpful for anyone researching a new carrier. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise!

I am somewhat of a geek but was more on the side of learning software. I was not all that familiar with hardware and networking technologies. This course has been phenomenal in providing an easy to follow education on all the different connectivity options and differences between them.

Thank you so much for putting this together. Well worth the investment.

Now on to selecting the "arsenal" lol.

Using the video and following the content from the University, provided order and proper sequencing of a vast amount of data that I generally found very educational. I have invested near 2 days listening and re-listening and find there are worthwhile subtleties scattered thru-out the content. At least now I feel my questions can make sense and hope the answers find a place in my scattered understanding. Ultimately I want a workable system based on realistic objectives.

Phil Dopson

This course has been extremely helpful from the basics to the end setup that my wife and I are using daily. Our business and dream of transitioning to full-time was relying on our ability to have stability in our internet connection. With this course and the support of the forum, we were able to gain confidence in the feasibility of living and working remotely.

We started with the knowledge of, "the internet isn't working, make sure the wire thing is tight or we will have to call" to testing upload and download speeds with multiple carriers, previewing cell service at sites we plan on going, and knowing how to adjusting when cell service is less than optimal. Not saying this is the savviest thing out there but this course brought us to the point where we felt confident enough to purchase, install, use and troubleshoot our entire setup with zero internet experience.

Knowing that Cherie, Chris, Andy, and the rest of the MIA are available, extremely knowledgable, respectful, and responsive, we felt much more relaxed changing to full-time and supported throughout the entirety of this ongoing process. The information alone is worth the price you could save by buying things that might not fit your application or ways to avoid payments that could break your monthly budget.

We would 100% recommend this course because of the independence and peace of mind it has given my wife and me while making the decision on getting the equipment that what would fit our application, how to operate it, and if something goes wrong, which it has, how to adjust and maintain our videoconferencing meetings by having redundancy and alternative ways of getting connected. We are so grateful for the course, Cherie, Chris, Andy and the rest of MIA! Thank you all! Meag and Trev

Chris and Cherie lead you through the basics of internet needs then dive into enough of the details to at least let you know what the options are, the pros and cons of each. Each course builds on the past eventually getting into enough detail to speak somewhat intelligently about the technologies. They also do a great job of keeping you up to date on the latest technology and why you may or may not want to go there yet.

I was and am still completely blown away by this course. I am pretty tech savvy but this was mostly new to me. After doing a bunch of reading through the site I decided to take the course which really helped to organize everything in my head and build a plan.

I learned, I laughed, and I appreciate your approach to teaching. You guys are awesome and I am so glad I found your site but most importantly you guys, your team, and the other MIAs!!!!!!

I also finished the course the same day my daughter graduated Kindergarten so it’s a double celebration!!!!! :)

FAQs About the Course

How is this course different than Mobile Internet 101?

The Mobile Internet 101 course, included with the MIA membership, is a simple course that basically orders our guides in the order we recommend approaching them. There are some short videos included with some topics, but they are filmed piecemeal over time and not necessarily to flow from one topic to the next.

If you're a self-paced reading based learner - that course may be perfectly suitable for you.

This video course however takes a different approach for visual learners. The video series was written & produced to flow together from one topic to the next, filmed over the course of a few days - designed to give you a foundation for selecting your right mobile internet setup.

This video course also includes quizzes and an assessment worksheet.

Who is this course recommended for?

Can you just tell me what setup I need?

We firmly believe in our approach, that all of our mobile internet needs are varied. And the options are changing all the time.

This course is developed to help you understand your unique needs and the options out there. And then how to approach our content to select your right solution.

But via our workshops, Q&A forum and optional Private Advising sessions - we are here to help answer questions and solidify your proposed setup. But we can't do the work for you.

Mobile internet options change all the time, will this course get out-dated?

Indeed, the options are changing all of the time. We took a lot of care in developing this course so that the content is more high level and evergreen.

While we use specific equipment as examples in the course, they are best looked at as props - not the current products on the market.

Each video is related to content on our site, that we are constantly keeping up to date. So you'll be watching a video that give you a high level overview - and then following up with linked guides and our gear center to explore the latest and greatest.

And of course we regularly review this course - and if there are major shifts that make a chapter outdated, we will either re-film it or add notes as to what has changed.

This course was originally filmed in late 2019, and has undergone three major refreshes. The last as recent as January 2025.

How long do I retain access to the course?
