I am new to RVing and have a question on wi-fi. Our new TT came with a Winegard air 360+. My understanding is it is a HD TV antenna but also has wi-fi router capability. We would need to purchase an additional gaetway router that installs inside the RV for $300. My question is what does this do? The air360+ pulls a wifi signal from the campground (as an example - the campground would provide log in info?) and then the $300 router serves as a booster for the area around our individual TT? Can't you just use the campground wifi without a router?
This is unrelated to any co-ax cable connectors on the outside of the TT, correct? The Winegard is not connected to any coax cable in the TT correct?
I am a bit confused as to what we should buy or not.
thanks.
When in doubt, read the manual..

Right on the very first page it says..
"WINEGARD AIR OMNIDIRECTIONAL TV/FM ANTENNA + WIFI + 4G EXTENDER*
*WiFi & 4G functionality requires Winegard Model AR-360B 360+ Gateway (GW-1000) sold separately"
Page 4 states..
"Winegard recommends installing the Gateway directly under the Air 360 + . Once the Air 360 + has been installed, there are two requirements to finding a location on the RV ceiling for installation: +12VDC must be present, and the three WiFi/4G antenna cables from the Air 360 + must be able to reach the connection points on the Gateway router."
Additionally, you might wish to read the Gateway GW-1000 manual for more details on setup and operation..
