Poor Wi FI at most RV parks
Almost every RV park I have visited across the country , always has weak reception at the are of our site. Is there a WiFI signal repeater booster that I can use to take the RV park signal and boost ...

I like alot of others gave up on the so called FREE WIFI at the campgrounds. When everyone gets ON-LINE after 6PM each evening it always goes downhill rather fast.
I was against using my cell phone as a WIFI HOT SPOT as this ties up my cell phone... On my VERIZON CELL PHONE DEVICE I would have to add a non-approved WIFI program to make my WIFI HOT SPOT to work which VERIZON would not add for me telling me it may not be legal or not???
I switched to VERZION MIFI that is added to my cell phone account. It is actually listed on my invoice as a cell phone number. This only gives me a 3GB secured MONTHLY DATAPLAN but is available to use for up to five of my WIFI enabled devices. VERIZON has larger dataplans available.
This has been perfect for us across the Virginia and Southern States camp grounds we visit on a regular basis. The 3GB a month DATAPLAN allows us to check in with the kids, pay a few bills, and some surfing of the internet.
If we were interested in any down streaming of movies or HDTV programs we would have to increase our GB DATAPLAN for sure. VERIZON has the MIFI BASED JETPACK PLAN which is very popular among the RV'ers. MILLENICOM VERIZON was also a very popular large GB DATAPLAN but has since been bought out by VERIZON.
I just like the idea of using something that is secured and works at 99% of the places we go to and not have to bother with the FREE WIFI hotspots scattered around the country side.

We also used the Verizon MIFI on our trip around the U.S. two years ago. We had acceptable service (mostly 3G some 4G) anywhere we went with the exception of Carlsbad, NM (didn't work). This included all through the south, Florida and up the East Cost. I agree with some of the posters here-don't expect WiFi to be at the same level of service as your water/electricity. It's all about bandwidth and everybody jumps on in the evening and that's what slows your connection down. They may have great internet service at 2p.m. in the afternoon-and then it stinks at 7 p.m. at night. Again, this thread amuses me-there are those with very expensive rigs that don't want to pony up for their own MIFI or some other device, to have pretty reliable internet service.
