Motorhome Internet Access on the move
For a simple way to access the Internet from a Tablet/Laptop in relatively accessible locations, such as most Cities, Towns and Countryside, you can just set up your Smart phone as a Tethering Hotspot and the phone will act as a 'Modem' to allow the Laptop/Tablet to connect to the Internet..
This will allow your Laptop to use your phones Data to access the Internet, obviously, your phone needs to have both Data available for use and 4G/WiFi capability.
If the phone uses the Android operating system, then go to 'Settings' and find "Tethering and Mobile Hotspot" (on mine it is under 'Data Usage'), select it and you should see 'Set up WiFi Hotspot' select this and using the password supplied with the phone, fill out the screen details. Then enable the service.
You should now have a WiFi hotspot your Tablet, Laptop, Partners phone, etc can connect to.
