We live in an RV and have a limited data plan (15 GB) and occasionally no internet access. Would you recommend Webroot AV for that situation?

Just depends on what you use the PC. If your not on the internet, you shouldn't be at risk; unless you are sharing files with other people maybe by usb drives or portable hard drives. If your computer is not exposed to anything from the outside, you don't even need antivirus. As I understand Webroot AV, it acts as line of defense to prevent the pc from catching the virus from the internet or other sources (infected USB drives and hard drives). It found viruses on my laptop after I installed so it works in that way as well. So if you already got a virus, you will need to be connected to the internet. With your 15gb plan, you will be getting on the internet so it should protect you from catching any viruses and warn you of dangerous webpages that may be infected and identify any viruses you may already have.

Yes, I use it exactly for that in my RV. I can connect to the campground WiFi and have my own private network inside the RV. I have used it to connect to public hotspots like Lowes, Panera, McDonalds, and similar while traveling. You need to add the USB access point to it and may need to upgrade the antenna on the access point depending on the distance from the hotspot. I use a Yagi for maximum range. I have been able to pick up good signals from over 300 yards away.

i have no clue, but if possible i recommend using a downloadable remote ap (I couldnt for awhile and it was a pain)...i only say this because my remote broke after a few months, and just not worth the money imho if you can do without it....

As long as your network infrastructure can support the bandwidth I don't see why you can't get away video streaming. Check with them if it is critical project requirement.

Only if you connect to a network somehow. There are actual "cloud" type drives you can purchase that will accept data from anywhere in the house if that is what you need.

It depends on what you want to do. To work on the device itself, the device own RAV FileHUB seemed to do the job pretty well even for watching videos. Essentially, it work like your average local network file server so anything that supports that should work. I use File Browser and GoodReader but have only really use RAV FileHUB on it. Where available, I would prefer to connect the storage devices directly to my computer and only uses the device when on the move.

That's exactly what I wanted to do and it worked fine except for one thing: I wasn't able to create an application rule allowing web cams to tunnel through the firewall. The tech support was very good but couldn't figure it out.

I use the Qnap NAs that has the software for it. It also serves as my Media Center NAS so I can watch the camera video on my smart TVs as well.

Send email to AV-Express. They'll let you know. I've had my 55" on one of these for 9 months in my RV. I've gone down the road with with it and it's still rock solid.

As others noted, you can use a repeater with ethernet outs for this purpose. I use a Netgear wireless-N repeater that works fine for this, and listen to internet radio (BBC, Martha's Vineyard, etc.) fairly frequently. It also helps ensure that firmware is kept updated, although that's not needed very often.

so far it seems to have full access but certain things cant be done ( like watching tv on a channels website, cbs for example). Nickjr just crashed but raz-kids seemed to work. You can also download apps which I'm sure there has to be one for nickjr

Agree with "no one answer" answers. I have two of these because I have 10 foot wide masonry fireplace in the middle of the house... no one spot gives full coverage due to the inevitable blindspot. At my daughter's home she gets coverage throughout her two story home with the router in a corner of the first floor.If you have a frame house and the router is fairly centrally located it should work fine for data. If you are trying to serve video the end device will be the limiting factor for range and reach.

I don't know how to answer your question. I had this unit in my RV as we traveled around North America. This unit improved out signal strength where we were unable to connect to the WIFI systems. The range was good and the speed was great.

I did the following, setup a linux box with ZoneMinder on it and used that as the Internet access. It worked great, we used these things with small hidden cameras to monitor some security issues when I lived in Tampa. ZoneMinder allowed us to capture the video for later review or watch it live. You can access ZoneMinder from a Android device if you install firefox on it.

Yes. You have to setup web-DAV and some other things, and then it work like a dream. There are plenty of how to's on the internet and synology.com.

Was wondering this same thing, found Net-Talk. Think I may try that and dump the magic-jack. Net-talk can work on both a router or a computer and seems to have the same features. Although I have a Magic-Jack I don't have to other yet so comparing the two should be interesting.

The Pogoplug Series 4 is capable of downloading torrents, but I would not recommend it. As far as watching movies remotely, unless you have sufficient upstream bandwidth (>3MBps), you will be frustrated by all the buffering of the video stream on your mobile device.
