Antenna Identification
I've had this question on my mind for many years since purchasing my 97 Fleetwood Bounder. The previous owner installed some antennas on the coach and I'm not sure what they are all for. I know one ...

Chuck, as I looked at the connection a little closer I realized it's not a bnc connection on that middle antenna, but instead it has a connection that resembles a picture I saw on amazon (RP-SMA). I'll try to locate a ham operator and see what frequency the antenna is meant for, I suspect it may have been a cellular antenna.
YC1, I stayed at two different campgrounds this past weekend and was frustrated because their wi-fi was too far away. I'm running a linksys router using dd-wrt software to act as a wi-fi repeater. Most of the "boosted" antennas I've seen are usb that require a direct connection with your computer. I did locate one that simply boosted the signal (2W 2.4Ghz Wifi Wireless Broadband Amplifier). I was also considering the TP-LINK TL-ANT2424B 2.4GHz 24dBi Directional Grid Parabolic Antenna at amazon. My satellite dish is not currently being used so I was thinking about attaching the antenna to it... hopefully that will give me a much great range.

You don't have to mount this outside but you could easily put it on a pvc pole as I have done in the past. Currently I removed the antenna and connected it to my outside antenna and keep the device inside next to my own Wi-Fi router. This is a strong device and works extremely well for me. You don't have to run it through a wi fi router, you can connect it directly through a cat 5 cable. You get one connection,. But then you can use software to turn your computer into a repeater if you want. The device is much stronger than your normal Wi-Fi repeater routers.
