Sounds like the OP is NOT looking for an internet connection - just a network within the RV...
Easy to do... I used an old wireless router I had and set up a network in the RV... I did at times connect it to internet (via a Picostation WIFI unit) - but used it within the RV for file sharing, wireless printing... no reason it couldn't be used from streaming from one device to another...
Most routers run on 12v - so connected directly to coach power - no need for AC to run the network...

We added a tablet to our Verizon Unlimited Plan for $20 a (costs $189 initially) and use it as a hotspot in our coach.
PS: With many of the Android LTE smartphones, you can make calls at the same time you are sharing the hotspot.

If internet is needed - Mobley WAS a great buy... but now appears the unlimited plan supporting it is $90/month...
I didn't have a cell with unlimited data to use...
DW's phone has unlimited data - but is 3G (which doesn't allow simultaneous voice/data) and provider doesn't allow hotspot.
Mobley fit the bill quite nicely - and at $20 a month moves between RV, car, and my detached workshop (which was WIFI range challenged) as needed.
