Hi, I have a Sonic Lite SL169VUD and above the TV just right of entry door there's a cover plate that says Prewired for King WiFi. I know that this would typically be used to plug in WiFi router to amplify WiFi signal, but I live in Colorado and in various mountains camping spots cell service is challenging at best, so I was hoping to purchase a cell booster then use this Prewired coax to get an cell amplification antenna on the roof to plug into the powered amp inside. Is this possible using the pre-wired coax? Also, I know there's been posts on other models, but wonder with my model (SL169VUD) should I expect to find the coax right under the cover plate labeled Prewired for King WiFi? On my camper the Prewired plate is right above the standard TV which came with the RV and when reading through the posts it's not definitive where both ends of coax can be accessed (roof maybe in the base of the TV antenna and interior if it'll be behind the face plate). I may be digging for wires when I get the trailer home. Wish me luck and thanks in advance.

I pulled the plate and couldnt find the cable (prewired plate in bedroom) but it was under the king antenna on the roof. I have located the other end about 1ft away of the prewired plate so it must have been moved / pulled. Some appear to have luck finding right at the prewired plate...good luck! link |

I just found my prewired King WifI coax under the plate, it was right there when. I removed the plate snd I pulled it out with a pair of needle nose pliers. It was only less than 24" of slack. I wanted to move and mount my Kind router around the corner on the wall. I got just rework to do when I get her home.

I originally purchased the King WiFi Max and realized it was just the router and no antenna. Even though there is no antenna you do pick up a better signal just because of the cabling going up on the roof. I returned the MAX and purchase the King Swift that includes the antenna. I will be installing the during the next trip out.
