Newbie Question on wi-fi
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 purchas...

Add to all that the Winegard 360+ totally sucks as a HDTV antenna unless you're basically parked within 10 miles of the broadcast point. Its a piece of junk.
Not the fault of the antenna, after all it is a "omnidirection" TV antenna so it doesn't need to be rotated.
This comes at a cost of no "gain" and is the benchmark that all antennas are compared to.
Omni direction antenna radiates or receives in a circular pattern with relatively the same strength in all directions.
Wingard Sesars antennas are a "dipole" type of antenna, with dipoles you get less gain on the sides but the front and back have additional gain which helps bring in distant stations better with the downside of needing to rotate the antenna.
Pix on right is pattern of an omnidirectional antenna.
Pix on left is a dipole antenna pattern..
