Wifi repeater using DD-WRT
I’m looking at options for getting internet inside the (aluminum-skinned) motorhome at campgrounds. This off-the-shelf option http://www.jefatech.com/product/RV-KIT-REPEATER/Long-Range-WiFi-Repeater...

Richard,
Yes, I’ve read that the later versions do not have removable antennas. I think they are up to at least Ver. 8. My understanding is that the earlier versions were also simply better routers, and presumable would make better repeaters.
Rob,
I appreciate that link.
ChooChoo,
I don’t follow what you mean by “outside radio.” Please explain, or give an example. I understand routers and access points, as I recently set up an old (more powerful) router in the house as an access point for use in my detached shop. (Gotta be able to stream music on Pandora while I’m working, eh?)
Actually, I’m less concerned with bandwidth in the motorhome, as we don’t plan on streaming in campgrounds. We mostly want to be able to check email, etc., without needing to go to a common area to get a usable signal. Still, I’m open to alternatives.
Thanks, everyone.
