Cable routing
Route Coaxial Cable (A) inside vehicle to Variable
Signal Booster which should be located near your
TV/Receiver.
Note cable can be shortened to suit application.
A
Please Note:
When fitting the Signal Booster and Router, there should be as much distance between the
two units as possible. The TV Coax cable and Router SMA cables should also not be routed
next to each other wherever possible. This will reduce the potential for interference between
the two systems.

Strip away 10mm of inner
insulation around the inner wire.
Check none of the screening braid
is touching the inner copper wire.

Router (For Internet)
Installation Instructions

1. Use pin to firmly press on SIM eject button. This is
located next to the SIM slot. It is not necessary to
apply force to the SIM tray itself. This may damage
the router.
Inserting Sim Card

3. Insert the SIM tray back into the router. The metal chip should still be facing upwards and the SIM text on
the front of the tray should be the correct way up. The tray should push into the slot without resistance, until it
is fully inserted.
The SIM is now insterted.
!
Slot
2. Remove the SIM tray and lay the standard size SIM card flat with the metal chip face facing up. Ensure it is in
the correct orientation and sitting completely flat in the holder.
You can convert a Micro or Nano SIM Card to the standard size using the SIM Card Adaptor Pack included.

2. Attach the antenna coaxial cables to the bottom 2
connectors. These are marked ‘mobile’. Note the order
of the cables does not matter.
IMPORTANT - To prevent damage take
care to ensure the centre pins are
aligned before attaching the connector.
!
!
1. Position router bracket and mark hole positions.
Depending on material, drill a pilot hole or use a
bradawl. Mount the router mounting bracket to the
surface using the 2 x No.6 Screws provided.
Note: Make sure the ‘Maxview Logo’ is
horizontal and in the correct orientation.

4. Connect the 12V power lead or the 230V PSU and
route the lead to your power source.
5. Place the router into the mounting bracket.
The router can be removed from the bracket at any
time to change the SIM card as required.
6. The installation is now complete. You may
wish to tidy up cable routing to suit your installation.
3. Attach the Wi-Fi antenna to the top connector.
This is marked ‘Wi-FI’. This should be positioned so it
is vertical.
The optimum positioning for the WiFi antenna on
the Roam Combo router is pointing directly upwards.
However, the unit can be fitted with the antenna at a
45° or 90° angle, or pointing downwards or forwards.
This may have a small detrimental effect on the
signal strength, which will become more significant
at greater distances from the router. However, for
leisure vehicle applications, this will likely only cause
a negligible drop in performance.

Getting Online
Now your Roam Combo is installed and you have inserted the SIM card, it’s time to get connected. To do this,
you will need to be using a device which can connect to a Wi-Fi network such as a smart phone, Smart TV,
tablet or laptop.
1. Turn on router and allow 2 to 3 minutes for the router to boot.
When ready, the router name will be visible in your devices Wi-Fi settings.
There are 2 methods of connecting your device to the routers Wi-Fi network.
• Option A – Using device settings
• Options B – Using QR Code
Option A: Device Settings
1. Navigate to your devices Wi-Fi
settings and view available Wi-Fi
networks.
2. The Roam Combo router will be
displayed as RUT241_XXXX.
The last 4 characters will be
unique to your Roam Combo
router.
If more than one Roam Combo is
being used within close proximity,
the Wi-Fi network name is
displayed on the back of the
router.
3. Once you select this network,
you must enter the password. This
is also printed on the back of the
router.
See page 16 for code.
4. You are now connected and can
begin using your Roam Combo.
Note: Password is case
sensitive.
!
17

Option B: QR Code
1. If your device is able to read QR codes (Android 9 or newer and IOS 11 or newer), simply point your device
camera at the QR code on the back on the router. When prompted, select ‘join’. Your device will automatically
connect to the Roam Combo router.
That’s it! You are now connected to the secure Wi-Fi hotspot of your Roam Combo Router.
The Wi-Fi network name and password will remain the same as those listed on the back of the router.
The above processes can be repeated to connect up to 50 devices to the same network simultaneously.
!

19
Factory Reset
At any time, the Roam Combo router can be reset to its factory settings using the reset button on the side of
the router. This will restore all settings on the router, including:
• Router SSID (network name) and password to those listed on the back of the router.
• Web User Interface to the username and password listed on the front of the router.
• All custom settings will be deleted, including any Wi-Fi connections you may have added.
2. Hold for 6 seconds, until all of
the green LEDS on the side of the
router are on.
Once released all 5 signal strength
LED’s will flash together.
This indicates the start of the reset
process.
3. Allow 3 minutes for the router
to reset. Once reset the Wi-Fi
network will be visible and
available to connect to.
Connecting to a device using an Ethernet Cable
If your device does not support Wi-Fi or you would like to maximise the reliability of your connection, you can
access the Roam Combo internet connection by connecting the Ethernet Cable between the LAN ports on the
router and your device. Possible applications for this include some Smart TV’s and desktop computers.
To do this, simply connect the Ethernet cable to the router and your device. If necessary, navigate to your
devices LAN settings and follow the prompts.
1. To complete the factory reset,
press and hold down the reset
button with the supplied pin
needle.
Note: If you don’t hold
long enough, the router
will restart but not reset.
!
When the ethernet is in use other devices can still connect to the router using Wi-Fi
!
