I did a quick search and didn’t find a thread talking about this. Our 261rb came prepped for King Wifi. We did some research and purchased the King Wifi Router. However we have not had much success with it while out camping. So my question is; Is there something else we need to purchase to make this Wifi work? Any help is very much appreciated.

I'm not real familiar with the King WiFi, but I'm assuming the "prep" is a coax connection between where the internal router goes and where the external antenna is mounted.
The internal router is only going to work as well as the WiFi signal your antenna picks up. You might want to test the coax cable and verify that's it's good. Other than that, maybe upgrade the antenna.
BTW, if you are off grid, where are you picking up the external WiFi signal from that your King unit is supposed to amplify?

I installed the king falcon on my 2020 E231BH Escape. It worked good in the driveway but was unable to pickup any signals in Ontario provincial parks. I can attest that the rig is just wired for hookup albeit the wiring to the roof was not really long enough.
I had one weird instance where I changed phones and I was unable to connect to the device or modem. I tried all the troubleshooting, rebooting, power cycling, etc. And then called King support. You are not able to talk to anyone directly. You need to leave a message and they call you back within 2 days. After it being stored over the winter it started working again.
I will not be adding it to my new C281BHSE Connect. I don't feel that it is worth while for the parks I visit.
Hope this helps
