You support the campgrounds erroneous stance that a MiFi could somehow make the campground Wifi less usable.
Like I said before, you need to read the posts. Where did I say I "Support" that fact. I said its probably not going to cause a problem.
Again, see you in Long Beach, CA next April if you want to see an event with hundreds of WiFi users causing havoc with each other. There is an RV park a mile away, you're a full timer, take an adventure out west, you might learn something...
There is no MiFi device that is going to interfere with that RV Parks WiFi that is located 1 mile away. Now, if you have those power AP's scattered around that "IS" causing interference that far away, shame on you!
I spend nearly all of my time out West. I have been to Quartzite, AZ many times and watched the cell towers become severely over loaded and cellular networks become nearly useless but that's not what we are talking about.
The reality is that I have the right to use the devices I own and a standard router/MiFi device being used in an RV park (unless the RV park system is a piece of junk to start with) is not going to shut down or slow down the network. If it were true, the 16 wifi broadcasts I am currently seeing with inSSIDer, spread between only 7 channels, would be creating issues either with my router or the parks routers and nothing could be less true.
Again, and hopefully for the last time, "I agree" that networks "can" be interfered with. Only that the MiFi, with a range of about 50 feet, is not that kind of a device.
