Ferg Dey
For last few years we have relied on phone data and campsite wifi when were away in our caravan. We were forever topping up the data which was costly and the campsite wifi was slow and unreliable. Decided that Wireless Nation would be the way to go this year and absolutely wrapped we made the change. The whole setup from the communication to setting up the router has been faultless. We also invested in a smart TV and have been using this all the time to watch normal free channels as well as Netflix and Prime. Not once has there been any throttling which has disrupted coverage. Loving it.

Wireless Nation are great. Always someone on the end of the phone to answer queries (if you have any)
I've had their mobile modem in my motorhome for a couple of months. It's compact, connects quickly and efficiently. Thoroughly recommended.

Totally portable. Coverage great, north and south Island very few remote spots with no connection as expected, download speeds really good no issues. Great price helpful knowledgeable staff who answer the phone! Had 1 connection issue ( months ago now) one 5min phone call all fixed. We use at home and on the road
Rodger Cullen
On a recent trip in the South Island, my wife & I enquired with The Wireless Nation team in Christchurch about options for setting up wifi in our caravan.
Jason Sommerville spoke to us about the many options Wireless Nation now has to offer. The one that caught our attention was the Portal WiFi option with 3 data plans available with discounts for NZMCA members like ourselves.
With the help of Jason we were able to work out our data usage from the previous 12 months with our current network provider. This gave us a clear indication on what Wireless Nation Portable WiFi plan would work best for us. It was a breeze to setup and the Wireless Nation team were easy to contact when needed. In fact less than a couple of minutes, which is rare these days.
We now use it on our frequent travels and when we are home we just take it in the house and turn it on.
It was that easy.
Thanks Wireless Nation

Shane Rea
Excellent service I can run my TV laptop and cell phone without any issue through the modem and I live permanently in a caravan AAA+++ service I highly recommend Wireless Nation
Lois Chamberlain
We have used WN for a few years now. Love the added bonus of being able to take the modem away in the motorhome. Very easy to put on hold if you're going overseas. Great service if any problem, just ring and talk to a helpful person in NZ! Beats all other providers hands down on that alone.
bruce arroll
I had an issue with getting wireless rurally where the signal from the local towers was variable. I needed a hands-on person to test which phone company I should use. Ben one of the staff worked with me to sort this out. Such a relief to have a human help me. I cannot imagine I would have sorted it via a help desk. Such an amazing service.
Evgueni Boutskikh
easy installation, works fine
Lynn Archibald
Great service. Live the portability - we take modem with us on holiday, good value for money and performance is equivalent to fibre (which we cant get in rural area we moved to). I work from home so need good speed and i get it with Wireless Nation
Ewan Duff
The customer support is second to non
To actually deal with a nz person compared to other providers is so reassuring.
The rates are better than others I've researched and because I'm in the motor cars cc sn association it was a no brainer. I refered my daughter who moved to a rural property and it worked out with better coverage and better .
Top marks to wireless nation
Wendy Jeffery

Fast and affordable 4G wireless broadband designed specifically to meet the needs of NZMCA members. A portable WiFi bubble wherever you go. Everyone’s devices can stay online on your journey and at your destination — phones, watches, tablets, laptops, and eReaders can automatically connect to your onboard WiFi, and stay connected.

You can use it at home, and when you go travelling, simply unplug it from the power outlet at home and plug it into your vehicle!

Check Coverage

We use over 1,750 towers which cover 99% of the population or, in other words, most places where people live, work and commonly travel.

Portable Wifi
NZMCA Data Modem

Equipment

Powerful 4G Modem (required)

There’s an investment of $299 (already discounted for NZMCA members) for a powerful 4G Modem. This provides home-grade internet on the road and reaches further than mobile phone reception.

NZMCA Portable WiFi requires a Wireless Nation supplied modem to operate on the network.

12-24v Adapter (optional)

You can purchase a 12-24V adapter for $69.90 during signup, meaning the modem can run off 12-24V and keep the modem safe from voltage spikes.  Please note: the modem includes a 230/240V wall plug for mains power.

Shipping and Handling: $16.95.

Year-round Service or Flexible Holds

Stay connected when you need it, pause when you don’t.

  • Use at home or on the go: Portable is versatile—perfect for home use, the bach, motorhome, caravan, worksite and yes, even your boat!
  • Easy plan holds: Simply give us a five-day notice before pausing your plan. Each activation lasts for at least one month.
  • Quick reactivation: Need to reconnect? Reactivation just takes 3-5 working days.
  • How to request: Pause or reactivate your connection easily by emailing accounts@wirelessnation.net.

Full Speed Data means we do not throttle at Wireless Nation. The average peak hour speed is 38Mbps download, and 16Mbps upload. Actual speeds may be faster or slower, depending on your distance to the nearest tower, your location, and how many people are using that same tower simultaneously. Speeds are from the Commerce Commission’s Measuring Broadband New Zealand (MBNZ) Sept 2024 report.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I run the modem off 12-24V?
Yes, the modem can run off 12-24V.  It comes with a 230/240V to 12-24V wall plug for mains power. If you want to run the modem off your battery/cigarette lighter plug we recommend you buy our 12-24V Adapter add-on during signup — this will keep the modem safe from voltage spikes.

Existing customers who didn’t purchase a 12-24V adapter during signup can order one here.

 

Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?
Yes, you can. Your plan change will take effect in the following calendar month. You can request a plan change by emailing accounts@wirelessnation.net.

NB: some customers may require a new SIM card depending on which plan is selected. 

 

What about my home security system when I'm on the road?
We’ve designed a solution specifically for this. It’s a low-data plan used as a secondary connection. This means you can travel using your primary connection (NZMCA Data) and leave the home security modem at home to power your security systems. You can find out more here.
How much power does the modem use?
Maximum power: 12V-2A; 24 Whr

Nominal power: 12V-0.5A; 6Whr

What happens when I run out of full speed data?

Your data will run at full speed until you hit your data cap, after which your connection will continue to run at a maximum of up to 1.2Mbps until the end of the month at no extra charge.

You can also upgrade your plan (if a higher plan is available at your address) which will take effect in the following month.

Can I add a Home Phone line?
Yes, you can add a home phone line during online signup. You can find the pricing and features here.
P.S. We recommend one of our awesome mobile phone plans which comes with free standard calling to NZ/AU — also available to add during online signup. 
Does it work anywhere in NZ?

We use over 1,750 towers which cover 99% of the population or, in other words, most places where people live, work and commonly travel. ​You must be in 4G coverage to get NZMCA Data. You can check coverage by going to: wirelessnation.co.nz/coverage, and selecting the appropriate tabs.

Disclaimers
  • Factors such as the performance of your modem, the distance you are from a cell tower, the network capability, the overall use of that cell tower by other customers, the performance and age of the devices you are using, and your in-home WiFi setup, can impact the speeds experienced.
  • NZMCA Data is a best efforts residential service, not to be used for business purposes.
  • You’ll need to be in 4G coverage for the broadband to work.
  • It can take up to 3 hours for your data to renew from midnight on the 1st of every month — this is due to the large number of connections that need to get processed through the system.
  • Standard Wireless Nation terms and conditions apply.
