If not you can connect something to it via wifi and point a browser to:

I assume they are all the same.

As for the tv, make sure the green light on the wall plate is on (dc power to the preamp) and the switch button is on the tv position (can't remember if that is in or out). And make sure the tv menu is set to antenna and do a channel scan. I seem to remember getting the tv to do an over the air antenna scan wasn't easy to figure out, it had weird menus.
What TV can in your coach ? Our is using Furrion I am not impressed

Can the TV be played through the stereo system for a better sound quality ?

We have the Furrion TV in our 2020 Flagstaff 21DS, and can play the TV through the soundbar by pressing the "Mode" button on the stereo head unit until the display says "TVAUDIO2".

We also have "Zone 1" and "Zone 2" speakers - Zone is the soundbar and Zone 2 is the outside speakers. We can play TV sound through either or both.

On mine yes. On the stereo remote, press the source button to one of the inputs that is the TV.

Then on the TV you may have to change sound from speakers to auto or external.

Mine is pretty cool, once you do that then I have three speaker zones, the one with the tv, another zone is the bedroom stereo speakers, and a third zone is the outside TV speakers. So on my tt (2021 2608bs) I can play the TV through the stereo speakers in three places.

I will give that a try. I thought this should be possible, but didn't know where to start ! 2021 Modes with the Furrion TV are Not coming with a sound bar any longer. So it is hopeful that the Stereo option will work

I just did a speed test and it slowed my speed way down. My speed went from 36mbps when logged on to my home network and 16mbps when logged on the WIFIranger to my home network.

Ranger only accomodates slow band of Wifi. It will not run A/C high speed band many of your devices can usually run on.

But wait there's more. Even "ac" is so yesterday. New standard on horizon is "WiFi 6 aka WiFi ax.

Using the ranger wifi booster right now in a campsite that only has wifi in a few central spots. Connected without issue the first time and have had no trouble connecting different devices. Nice feature.

I love the WiFi Ranger

When I first attempted to use the WiFi Ranger I didn't have much success. I finally sat down with the manual and followed the steps exactly and it worked. We were at a campsite last week where there was no adequate signal but I could see hotspots on my phone. I turned on the Ranger and we had internet at our campsite! I was very impressed.

Just got a new 2021 Rockwood Ultra Lite. Bought weeks worth of internet at campground, got it to work last night, today I can’t. I am a complete novice when it comes to IT stuff, this wifiranger Teton is completely wasting my time

We had the WiFi Ranger in our 2020 2506s and also in the upgraded 2021 Ultra Lite 2883ws and initially had issues getting it to connect or even display the control panel on our devices. Our issue was that we were not first connecting to the WiFi Ranger before attempting to have it connect to a signal. Now the first thing I do is ensure that the WiFi on my Cell Phone is first connected to the WiFi Ranger (we re-named ours) and then you can bring up the control panel in the WiFi Ranger on your Cell and connect to the incoming signal and all should be good.

Go to youtube and follow the set up. It's really not that hard and it does work, i would do what the video suggests to change the password and log in name. The video explains all of that. What i did is to put the wifi control link in a favorite location to get to that link quickly.

sometimes things happen to internet connections that you cannot control... from the ISProvider... no setup is one thing but if it worked once it should work again if it is under your control... do neighbors have their same service?

My son in law has same trailer and wifiranger Teton, his has worked fine. It did end up being IS provider, I was able to figure out log in in conjunction with Teton. I called provider handful of times. We can watch TV now ��. Thanks again!!

What is the name of that Youtube setup video you mentioned. I have the Ranger Teton in a 2021 Minilite 2706S and can’t connect to any wifi. Haven’t tried changing the name and password yet, maybe that will do it.
