Internet Redundancy Planner
Build independent backup internet for RV life so one outage never stops your workday.
Build independent backup internet for RV life so one outage never stops your workday. Free, private, and it shows its working.
How to use this tool
Tick each layer you already have: primary connection, an independent backup, signal hardware, power for the network and workday habits. Gaps show what to add next.
Independent means different: a different carrier, or a different technology such as satellite, so one outage does not take down both paths.
What the checklist covers
15 items in 5 groups:
- Primary connection: 3 items
- Independent backup: 3 items
- Signal and hardware: 3 items
- Power for the network: 2 items
- Workday habits: 4 items
Tick items as you go, print the page, or clear it and start again. Nothing is saved to our servers.
When this tool helps most
Use it before you start working from the road and whenever your setup changes.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Two plans on the same carrier network.
- A backup that has never been tested.
- No power plan for the router on cloudy days.

Understanding your results
- Redundancy level: how many independent connections your work needs.
- Failure coverage: what happens if one carrier or service drops.
- Cost of backup: the monthly price of staying online.
Two quick scenarios
Client calls every day
If a dropped call costs you work, two carriers plus satellite gives the most protection.
Flexible schedule
If you can work later, one primary plus a cheap backup may be enough.
Before you rely on the numbers
- Use different carriers or technologies.
- Keep backups paid up and tested.
- Know where the nearest library or coworking space is.
- Save offline copies of critical files.
