Overview

The Solwise Patriot Dual Band can be used as a general-purpose outdoor access point and includes a range of additional modes enabling it to function as a high performance WiFi client device. These capabilities allow the Patriot-DB to receive weak WiFi signals in caravan/lodge parks, campsites, marinas, and similar spaces where public wireless services are made available.

When the campsite offers WiFi but your ‘van is right at the other end of the site you may need something to help you get a better signal, the Solwise Patriot range are perfect for this. The antenna will receive the campsite WiFi signal and the supplied cable threads through into the ‘van which you can plug straight into your laptop via the PoE Injector included.  

Many campers are not bothering to take laptops on holiday anymore preferring the simplicity of an iPad/tablet or just using their smart-phones to keep in touch with social networking or to find local attractions. These ‘smart’ devices rarely have the right connectors so the beauty of the Patriot is you can connect it up to an internal Access Point which then creates a mini hotspot in your ‘van allowing you to connect your iPad/tablet, Smartphone, notebook, laptop or handheld games console to the campsite WiFi. See the 'You may want to consider' section above to find a suitable access point.

The Patriot-DB has the capability to relay WiFi by simultaneously receiving a signal on the 2.4GHz band and broadcasting on the 5GHz band, or even vice-versa, effectively boosting the connectivity and speed on handheld client devices like smartphones and tablets from otherwise weak WiFi networks. We would, however, advise caution using the repeater functions in public spaces due to interference and bandwidth restriction issues.

Where the outer walls of a lodge, vehicle, or vessel may prove restrictive for wireless signals, the Patriot-DB could be mounted to the exterior to establish a connection to the site’s WiFi network and connected to a suitable indoor access point/router to provide a private service within your boat/van/lodge.

This product is sometimes referred to as WiFi Booster, WiFi AP Repeater, Access Point Repeater, WiFi Extender.

*Please note the WL-PATRIOT-DB-MNT is a new mounting bracket for this device, the mounting bracket for the other Patriots in our range will not fit the PATRIOT-DB.

The Patriot Podcast

Video Podcast - A discussion on the Solwise Patriot range

This podcast sees Louise and Daniel discuss the Solwise Patriot range. The Solwise offering to suit your outdoor WiFi requirements whilst on the move is centred around the Patriot range. We have 2.4GHz and Dualband (2.4GHz/5GHz) devices that connect using USB or Ethernet, depending on your requirements. The units are available on their own or in kits. These WiFi adapters are ideal for your motorhome, caravan, leisure boat, home office, summerhouse or garage. With flexible mounting options, you can use the Patriot devices in a temporary location or a more permanent position to give you the most flexible way to get an internet connection.

Article - Using Solwise Patriot kits to extend WiFi networks, by Daniel Coombs

With the internet becoming an ever more important part of our day-to-day lives, there is more of a demand than ever before for strong, reliable WiFi signals. Unfortunately, WiFi has several key weaknesses when it comes to range, distribution and penetration which means this isn’t always possible, particularly when it comes to an external WiFi signal having to penetrate through surfaces such as the exterior of a vehicle or building. Such cases include being inside a caravan on a campsite, being inside a boat at a marina and being inside an out-building remote from your house.

Article - Antenna Choices for your Vehicle, by Louise Barrett

The Solwise antenna range has traditionally contained antennas that have been mounted on a pole or on a wall/building/portable building but in more recent times we are seeing more antennas used on vehicles. These include a wide range of vehicles such as cars, buses, lorries, caravans, motorhomes, boats, barges and even a space agency, an F1 team, mountain rescue teams and a defence contractor have all bought antenna hardware from us so who knows where some vehicle antenna have ended up!
Across our range we offer permanent and temporary solutions for antennas to mount on your vehicle; these antennas cover WiFi solutions and Mobile Data Solutions which means we have something for most situations.

A Wireless Repeater is a piece of equipment that takes an existing wireless signal and repeats the signal from the wireless repeater. The cost of having a WiFi repeater is that the signal is halved each time it is ‘repeated’. This means that if you have 100mbps throughput at the point of origin, you will have 50mbps at the first repeat, 25mbps at the second and so on.
Wireless repeaters are best used in open areas where there is less interference from objects as wireless signals, in general, are not great at penetrating through objects or walls.
For providing temporary wireless coverage around your home or to cover a blackspot a wireless repeater is a good solution, however, if you need higher throughput than the repeater will offer you may wish to consider a HomePlug solution.
