We love to travel, and being able to work from the road is a great blessing, which is why we want to share the blessing with you. Our goal is to create the #1 internet system specifically tailored to life on the road.
Our original "Angel Wings", the antenna that started it all.
Whatever we tried, nothing worked well. So we built our own.
Back in 2018, I created a YouTube video showing how important the antenna is when staying connected on the road. After years of on the road testing, we've developed the "squared" antenna that delivers the best range possible.
Phones, hotspots, and "home internet devices" weren’t built for life on the road. Our antenna is.
Since the Insty Connect is the first modular internet system, it allows you to have the most tools in your toolbox. If there's a cell signal, you'll be the one to receive it.
The binoculars are available as an add-on to the Insty Connect Explorer 4G and 5G.
If you're looking for the most reliable and cost-effective internet option, our long-range cellular system is the answer. With unmatched reach and the ability to stay connected in even the most remote locations, Insty Connect is designed to deliver stable, high-speed cellular internet where others fall short.
Combine Insty’s long-range cellular antenna with satellite for the most powerful and reliable internet connection on the road.
Our router intelligently manages your connections, ensuring you always have the best internet possible. With the flexibility to seamlessly switch between multiple sources, you can stay connected wherever your journey takes you.
With rising satellite costs, many are rethinking their connectivity options. Why limit yourself to one system when you can seamlessly integrate both?
Insty Connect comes ready for you to add satellite for ultimate flexibility and 24/7 reliable internet.
Our system intelligently switches between the best available options, saving you money and ensuring you stay connected—whether you’re streaming, working, or exploring the world.
We’ve made Insty Connect modular from the very beginning, allowing you to stay ahead of evolving technology.
As new tech emerges, you can easily upgrade components, like the modem or router, without replacing the entire system.
This keeps your system future-proof, ensures peak performance, and protects your investment.
You’ll never have to worry about outdated hardware slowing you down, because Insty Connect grows with you—keeping you connected for years to come.
With monthly unlimited data plans starting at just $99, you can pause and restart your service when you need it.
No fees, just simple access.
Mix and match the data you need with access to the 2 best networks in the country.
"This goes inside, it makes your Wifi"
"This goes outside, it talks to the towers"
Pictured here is our antenna in one of the most challenging environments: Big Bend National Park - notorious for sparse connectivity.
We believe in putting our equipment through the toughest conditions to ensure that, when you need it most, Insty Connect delivers.

For work, education, and entertainment, everything you need for internet on the road is here.
My kids could stream a movie while I was on a video conference with 12 other people. I had enough download speed that I even let my RV neighbor join my WIFI...
Great results, and I highly recommend Insty Connect to everyone I know!

As we explored the open road in 2020, we noticed a trend: more people working from their RVs, yet struggling with poor internet.
That’s when we knew we had to step in and create something special – and make sure it was super easy to use.
Please check this Knowledgebase article for an up-to-date report on shipping times:
Great Question! As part of our Gen 2 system rollout, we are now offering a new color - Light Grey! You can now get your Squared antenna either Black, or Grey.
Our data plans use the nations best cellular networks. There are 3 major carriers in the US currently, and we chose to work with what I would say are the top 2. I have extensively tested these providers all around the country, and found those to be the best as far as coverage and bandwidth availability.
Our main data plan offerings operate on the T-Mobile network. I chose this network as our main network because of the extensive 5g build out they have done all throughout the country. With our antenna, we have been able to pick up 5g signals in places that I didn't think was possible, and the 5g build out helps immensely with congestion that used to plague 4g in a lot of places around the country.
Our secondary plans are on the Verizon network. I have been impressed with their 5g rollout as well, although not as complete as T-Mobile, their network is tried and true, it's been around for a long time and has the best reach throughout the country as far as coverage goes.
The way our plans work is that we ship each system with 2 SIM cards that can be activated on cue. All of the metered plans run on the T-Mobile network, but our Unlimited Premium and Business plan users can choose what SIM is active and what network they are connected to.
Because we utilize plans direct with the providers, we can get priority on those networks, versus allowing 1 sim to roam on other networks, where you get lower priority and slower speeds. We decided to go with the 2 individual SIMS to get you the best performance on that network.
This means that if you want to change networks, currently you have to contact us to have us switch the SIMS for you, and we can get that done right away. We are working on an automated process to allow you to change the SIMs from the system.

Absolutely, Insty Connect operates using cellular technology, which requires a SIM card. However, we've made this process seamless for you by pre-installing SIM cards for the 2 networks that we use for Insty.Online. This means when you order your device with one of our data plans, your system is ready to go right out of the box, providing a hassle-free setup experience.
While you do have the option to use your own SIM card, keep in mind that acquiring a data SIM card at a competitive rate can be challenging with major providers. We’ve tailored Insty.Online to offer not just ease but also affordability, ensuring you get the best internet experience on the road.
Standard SIM card size. Some websites call it the "mini" sim.
Yes, the Insty Connect is designed to enhance internet connectivity and is a great option for off-grid or rural areas. Its advanced antenna technology is engineered to pick up cellular signals from a considerable distance, providing you with a better chance of accessing the internet in remote locations.
Checkout this KB article here with how you can get the perfect system for your rural home:
Yes! The Gen 2 Insty Connect can do Wifi as wan VERY easily. Just scan for networks and choose the network you would like to use. You can also save the wifi networks to re-connect later on.
Yes! Insty Connect Gen 2 is designed to work seamlessly with other internet sources such as Starlink and other Wifi networks.
Our LAN 4 port has been specifically setup to accept an ethernet cable direct from the Gen3 or Mini Starlink. When a starlink is plugged in, the system will recognize the starlink and allow you to continue to manage your starlink from the phone app.
The Insty 'Squared' antenna is a single modem, Dual SIM system. That means you can use 1 SIM a time per modem, so if you have 1 antenna, you can use that to connect to 1 provider at a time.
NOW, you CAN have 2 Antennas! - and in that case, you CAN bond the connections using Speedify and the Gen 2 router.
You can ALSO bond up to 3 internet connections, so you can theoretically bond 2 cellular connections, along with a wifi connection, or 1 cellular, 1 satellite and a Wifi WAN together to give you a rock solid connection!
Speedify is a third-party bonding VPN service that can bond up to 3 WAN sources from the Insty Gen 2 router.
Speedify is great for seamless failover from multiple sources. We use it quite often for when our children need to do zoom calls while we are traveling down the road.
Currently, you need to purchase a license with Speedify and log in with your license from the router.
Please see their website for more information about pricing and availability.
A single connection: No, Speedify is a third-party bonding VPN service that gives you a connection to a fast VPN server near your location.
While speedify is a great VPN that has low overhead, it's still a VPN, so it won't make your single internet connection faster than it already is.
If you have MULTIPLE internet connections, then Speedify MAY very well give you a faster connection that ONE of the internet connections by Bonding multiple connections together, but typically even when bonded, the speeds are about the same or a little better than just the fastest single connection due to overhead, etc.
Speedify's main goal is to give you a STABLE internet connection.
When bonding, a stable internet connection may actually give you a better "experience" than a faster one. This is even more important when doing zoom and teams meetings where real-time internet exchange is crucial.
InstyVPN is our stateful VPN that we control, utilizing servers in our datacenter in Michigan. It's a private VPN service that is dedicated to Insty Connect users.
InstyVPN can be used to add a layer of privacy to your internet connection, as well as provide stateful connections to help with failover.
For instance, if you were on a zoom call and your main internet source went down, you would most likely lose the call and have to re-connect.
If you have a VPN going, and your main internet source went down, the system can fail over to the next available internet connection, and since you had a VPN running, your state would stay the same, so instead of dropping the call, there would be a momentary pause, and your call would continue.
This of course requires that you have 2 sources of internet connected to the system.
InstyVPN provides a "good" failover experience, whereas Speedify would offer a "great" failover experience due to the fact that Speedify can bond the connections.
InstyVPN can't bond multiple connections together, only create a "state" that either connection can use.
InstyVPN is included as part of our Insty Connect Care program, which is $79 per year.

Our modem includes many of the bands that are used around the world and should work with most providers.
Our Data plans: our plans are designed for operating in the continental US only. By default, the SIMS will not work outside the US, but if you are interested in roaming in other countries, feel free to send in a message and we can let you know what roaming costs may be. They roaming costs are usually pretty high, and we recommend no streaming while you are roaming.
So, the equipment will work just about anywhere, but our data plans are designed for the US only.
Some folks have obtained a SIM chip from the country they are traveling to and used that SIM while they are in that country. That may be a good value option if you are planning on staying in that country for a little while.
SHIPPING NOTE: We can ship internationally but there will be an additional charge. After you place your order, we'll reach out to you when we are ready to ship and let you know what the additional shipping fees will be.
INTERNATIONAL DUTIES: Your country may charge duties for import from the US. We are required by law to report the value of the equipment being shipped to your country, so please check your local laws and duty fees before ordering.
The router is 12v and typically uses about 3-5 watts.
The POE antenna is 12v and it typically uses about 3-5 watts.
When running the Insty Connect at RV show booths, we typically see power draws on the whole system at around 5 watts after it's been powered up and connected to a tower.
We include a power adapter for both the Router and the Antenna. We also include various DC power cables and dongles that can use to power both the antenna and the router direct from 12v.
So, if you are handy with a wires, you can easily power your Insty Connect from your vehicle on board battery.
Our system hardly uses any power. We will typically run an Insty Connect in our personal vehicle running on the car battery and as long as we use the car within a week, it works great. If we park the vehicle for longer than a week, we unhook the Insty Connect.
Yes, the 5G X55 and X62 modems include Band 71. This is a great low frequency band helps T-Mobile customers get a great signal farther away from the tower.
During our pre-order, put TRAVELING in one of the address boxes and we'll reach out to you when it's time to ship.
You can also drop another address or put notes in during the order process if you need to alert us of any info.
The Insty Squared antenna was designed at Center Lake Campground, Custer State Park in South Dakota.
This is one of our favorite locations, where in previous years, we had zero connectivity and had to "beam" internet from the top of the mountain, down to our RV- which while I was doing this, I decided right then and there that we were going to create our own internet system.
We went back in 2023 with diagnostic tools and a 3d printer, and designed what would become our Insty "Squared" antenna.
The idea was simple, to create an omni-directional antenna that could work really far out, because I knew that if it could work there, it could work in a LOT of other places.
We continue to travel the country looking for very sparsely covered areas, like Big Bend and Yellowstone, so we can stretch how far cellular can be used.
We designed the Insty Connect to be modular, so you can have a system that can adapt to bring you the best speeds.
The Cloud Wings are an omni-directional antenna, which means you don't have to aim it.
The 'Binoculars' is what we call our directional antenna that you can use to 'see' towers way off in the distance and get a much better, focused signal and in some cases, much better speeds (especially in the fringe zones).
Just like our Cloud Wings, you will use the modem module and insert it into the Binoculars. The result will be speeds like no other LTE or 5G modem can get.
The Binoculars is a great add-on to the Insty Connect system. We recommend purchasing the angel wings as the base system, and having the Binoculars on standby when needed.
Our family YouTube channel is called We Can Explore it. Tune in for some adventures :)
Created by a traveler who loves to explore, Insty Connect is the answer to finding the best internet on the road.
