Suggestions on a modem that will work in my RV

Hello

can anyone help me out. We are living in our fifth wheel and want to start traveling.  The job I have, I have to have a modem to run my Ethernet cord to my system. Is there a modem that I can use.

  • Are you planning on using a mobile router with a wireless isp? 
    Or what exactly are you planning?

    one thing to keep i mind if you're planning on using a phone or hotspot in an rv is the rv's are basically big faraday cages (block wifi signal) because they're covered in metal. many people who use hotspots in them get an external antenna for the cellular connection that they connect exterior to the rv and run the cable to the inside to attach to the hotspot.

      The company I work for I do not have a laptop or desk top I have a meracki box and a dell thin client so I have to have a modem that I can run my Ethernet cord from to the meracki box. I hope that makes sense. So I need to know how I can do that in the camper

        Many hotspots have ethernet connections that you can wire devices to. You can look through the hotspot page and filter by ones that have etherent connections
