I have been using the Verizon MIFI 2200 box here which gives good SECURE internet through the Verizon connection. Allows us to use up to five of our devices. This is only for checking in with the kids and paying a few bills... Will allow us to surf the internet some. The speed however is too slow to do any serious downstreaming of HDTV or Videos etc...
I set my MIFI unit in a WILSON Cradle holder inside my POPUP trailer that has an outside antenna so I get a good coverage all around where we are camping. The MIFI unit is very small has has internal batteries so it can slip into your shirt pocket if you want to take it down to the creek or walk around some.
This is very low key for us and does what we need it for.
Our cell phones are too old and do not support HOTSPOT. Have recently just got the VERIZON 6620L JETPACK unit which passes faster internet. Haven't tried it out yet for camping. Works great around the house here when we loose the cable TV/Internet connections once in a while... This downstreams CBSN 24/7 Internet News channel just fine. Haven't tried it yet on downstreaming some missed TV shows like CBS NCIS or GOLD RUSH etc but think it will do just fine since it does the CBSN NETWORK like it does.
My MIFI box supports my Ham Radio Emergency Comms Ops when I setup on a high ridge somewhere and be a Weather watcher... ALl of these connections is over the internet anymore... ALso allows me to monitor many Radio Scanners using Broadcastify.com
We use our BATWING ANTENNA on our off-road popup and have great luck picking OTA HDTV from the local towns when camping. Being in a POPUP it is great having LIVE RADAR for those high winds approaching...
Gave up playing with WIFI signals from the camp grounds or local public places years ago. Just doesn't sound safe to pay bills on those connections...
