We are going on a long road trip an will be staying in a lot of campgrounds. My wife wants to use netflixs while we are in the camp grounds. In the past the wifi signals are very weak. Will a wifi hotspot work to make this possible. Has anyone solved this problem? All help or ideas welcome

If you have something like Verizon you will burn through all your time in nothing flat. Most Rv parks don't even want you to use their wifi for streaming because it cuts everybody else out real fast. I have never found a solution for this. Your wife may just have to go cold turkey and use Redbox whenever you are near or in a town or city.

Certainly not speaking for everyone but my "hot spot" sucks. I have US cellular what a waste of money that thing is.. If you are not in a coverage zone and roaming you will get such slow speeds that it's not worth even turning it on. If you are in a cover zone it works intermittently. Just a peace of junk.

I have pre-purchased a Karma WiFi hotspot.No contracts - minutes/data roll over until you actually use it.https://yourkarma.com/how-it-worksI'll use free wifi where I can get it but I will also have my own.we'll see...

She is dreaming - a air card will be very expensive and people using Netflix in campground is what kills it for everybody else and hence no campground internet is any good
