How can I improve wi-fi at rv parks?
Most, if not all, the rv parks I've stayed at have only intermitten wi-fi signals. These are private parks, KOA parks,and a FEW resort rv parks. How can I get better/more consistent reception? Woul...

We solved our weak WIFI signal problem by getting a VERIZON MIFI unit. It works anywhere you can get VERIZON CELL PHONE service and creates its own secured WIFI Hotspot that will work with five of your wifi enabled devices at the same time.
Don't have to worry anymore about all of the WIFI places scattered here and there.

What he said. :) Many RV parks that still have Wi-Fi issues are simply because they are overloaded and no amount of improved signal will help.
My Samsung Galaxy S4 smart phone on the Verizon network has a Wi-FI hotspot built in that fixes all the problems with campground Wi-Fi issues and, contrary to what I have seen posted on these threads, I can use the cell phone while it is acting as a Wi-Fi hotspot. I have a 3GB monthly data plan and I have yet to even get close to this limit since I use Wi-Fi when available.
It's not the perfect solution because a campground with useless Wi-Fi can be in a no Verizon service location but it is rare for our travel pattern. It is a solution that eliminates all the wasted travel time dealing with campgrounds that still do not realize the priority that many RVers place on Wi-Fi.
