Just keep in mind this is a WIFI REPEATER UNIT with outside antenna where you have to find a WIFI SIGNAL from someone else to use for getting on the internet...
I personally am not all that happy using just anyones WIFI signals to get on the internet to pay bills and surf the internet. To each his own I guess...
I elected to pay to use a secured network like the VERZION MIFI connection to take care of my INTERNET needs.
The JETPACK setup used with VERIZON is another excellent INTERNET network that works all over the US. MILLENICOM is an excellent network if you want to downstream alot of DATA for watching VIDEOS or TV STATIONS etc...
This unit you are referring too looks like it will work just fine picking up weak WIFI signals like the camp ground WIFI networks and creat your own WIFI HOTSPOT around your trailer for your other WIFI enabled devices you may have...
Once connected to the campground WIFI then you will have to deal with mixing in with all the other users and we found most camp ground WIFI were not really engineered for lots of users... When we got on and started downloading things at the camp grounds we would sometimes get told to terminate what we was doing for a later time perhaps... Other users were complaining about their connectivity...
Also would I go to a local McDonalds and pay bills on-line? Don't think so....
However alot of others do it and apparently have no issues. So who really knows...
Just my thoughts...
