How to optimize my wifi reception while camping?
What can I add or buy for my 34" motorhome to have better chances of being able to use my pc while in a campsite? I know many clubhouses have wifi reception but I want to use it while in my rv.

Seldom has enough bandwidth for streaming movies, even if you are sitting in the clubhouse, it is too many users trying to use the available bandwidth
And most of the campground WiFi installations I've looked at didn't do anything to optimize their setups. They typically just take it out of the box and turn it on in which case the first one or two users who get logged in can basically hog all the bandwidth. Of course if you're a hacker and are familiar with how to optimize the equipment they usually don't change the default Admin password either.- Campground Wi-Fi

- Is your concern signal strength (mostly doable) or bandwidth (unfixable)?
