Alfa WiFi extender and Alfa Repeater

Question

Trying to figure out if these two Alfa products are good for use in the RV. My wife and I use android tablets while on the road and in a campground, and dont really do much extensive use of wifi BUT.. I would like to have the option if needed. I understand that wifi is always dependent upon line of sight, signal strength etc... So im just looking for anyones experience with these two items.

Thanks

I used a basic Alpha antenna and booster years ago. Quality product and it worked pretty well.  For the Apple laptops I found that the Bear Extender works better.

I got the Alfa antenna and booster two years ago for use when we were at a park with WiFi. Once configured it worked well, but it was not easy getting it set up. Tech support was helpful.

I permanently mounted the external antenna on my crank-up TV antenna.

You might check out reviews on Amazon, which really run the gamut from Great to Lousy. YMMV

It turns out I rarely use it, instead relying on my VZW data plan pretty much all the time.
