Thank you for purchasing the MobileVision MV100 wireless
WiFi extender kit. The MV100 is designed for easy installation with a
professional appearance in your RV. To install the MV100 you will need
a basic understanding of installing 12 volt devices in your RV. If you are
not comfortable with the installation process after reviewing the
installation manual we recommend you have the product professionally

Installation Options
The MV100 is designed to provide 2 methods of installation to best
fit the unique needs of the RVs design and layout. Be sure to read
through the instructions and determine your desired method of
installation before you begin.
Option 1 - Wireless (12V wiring only) - no Ethernet cable required
The wireless option is designed to be used in installations where
routing an Ethernet cable from the inside to the outside of the RV is
difficult. The connection between the MV2400 Extender and the
MV2458 router is established wirelessly. (page 6)
Option 2 - Wired using Ethernet Cable
The wired by Ethernet installation method utilizes an Ethernet cable
and POE (power or Ethernet) to connect the MV2400 Extender and
MV2458 Router. The MV2400 Extender receives its power over the
Ethernet cable. (page 16)

MV2400 Extender Wireless Installation
2 - Choose a location near the power source to drill a hole in the RV Ceiling to install the Extender Switch.
This should be near or directly below where the MV2400 Extender Housing will be installed on the roof.
1 - Locate a 12V(+) power source on the RV Ceiling (such as exhaust fan or light input power) to power
the MV2400 Extender. This power source needs to be accessible to connect to the MV2400 power wires
as shown in Step 8.
When MV2400 Extender is not in use, a switch is needed to turn
off the MV2400 Extender so that the RV battery is not drained.
DO NOT drill a hole into the roof UNTIL you have verified the exterior
mounting location of the MV2400 Extender Housing. Be sure to find
a location to mount the housing that is flat and away from large items
like air conditioners that may cause interference.

After you have determined the location of the MV2400
Extender Housing on the roof, drill a 1/2” hole into the
RV ceiling to feed the 4 switch wires through.
Drill a 1/2” hole from the exterior roof where the
Extender Housing will be mounted over. This hole will
be used to route the power wires from the Extender
Switch to the MV2400 Extender in the housing.
If using one location for both holes drill one 1/2” hole
though the roof and the ceiling.
CAUTION - Before drilling from the
roof or inside, be sure that you
verified there are no obstacles in the
way on the inside or outside of the
RV such as ceiling lights, speakers,
air conditioners or wiring between the
interior ceiling and the exterior roof.
