No, a router is a digital protocol component, and TV/radio are dumb analog systems.

Actually the television is a digital signal but no router is required for over the air television reception. A cable system with an "addressable cable box" requires the router because the cable box must communicates with the cable providers server.

The Furrion device (Router) is only needed for Cellular connections and provide Wi-fi in your coach

TV/Radio if fully functional, no need for anything else.

I have my own Wi-Fi router in my coach - less than $50 and I bought a long range antenna for improving Wi-Fi connectivity in campgrounds.

Has been working for me for close to 5 years now - I've upgraded my router last year.

Thanks for the information. I am looking to work from trailer some days this summer and trying to decide best solution. The Furrrion router or a ATT Hotspot. Also since the atenna on the roof supports tv and radio wanted to confirm that those are pre wired from factory and the router is not required.
