The wifi signal strength is only a small part of the problem. The 'backbone' to the internet where the real money needs to be spent. I don't think most parks really want to invest too much in their backbone, or uplink. It's expensive, and with most people now using their phones, it's probably not worth the investment.

The internet is demanding more and more bandwidth, so I don't think CG wifi is going to improve, unless the management can somehow restrict CG usage to emails and text-based sites.
I had one good wifi experience, in the Redwoods, where there were only 2 other campers. That's good, because there was no Verizon service at all.
