OK for starters I am not an expert on all of this. I just followed the directions in the above link to get this all working.
Not sure your question, but will try to answer.
The loco M2 is connected to your wireless router and receives the campground WiFi signal. But being a full 1 watt of output the loco M2 can transmit and receive Wifi signal at a much greater distance than your smart phone or wireless router that operate in the low milliwatt output.
I think typically most wireless routers can support upwards 250+ devices. MiFi or most small hotspots support only around 5 devices. But I'm not an expert on those devices.
The initial setup requires you to use your PC to make the connection to the loco M2. Once that is complete you plug the loco M2 into wan connection of your wireless router. I'm using an older Cradlepoint MBR 1000.
Once you have done that you can use whatever device you have that connects to your wireless router and what ever browser you wish to use. You just use the IP address that you defined during the setup of the device.
When you are at a campground (or near any commercial Wifi) you just log into the loco M2 and select the Wifi you want access to. If the Wifi is secure you will need the password to connect. This is not about stealing someone's Wifi. Typically the campground or the commercial WiFi will provide you with the password you need.
Once you have done that your wireless router will use that WiFi connection to get you on the net.
I hope I explained this correctly. If not let me know and I try again.
