If your not buying a smart phone and using cellular bandwidth

what is the question about

smart phone bandwidth has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with campground wifi, cable dsl or fios or satellite internet

what is your question

In order to not use cell data, phoners switch to WiFi for data use. Thus using WiFi bandwidth on smartphones. Just trying to get my fair share of the WiFi bandwidth pie.

My question is what devices really work to enhance WiFi signal?

Marv,
First, understand that a "booster" will only make the signal available to your phone or computer stronger. If the campground internet service is slow or overloaded a booster will not change that. If you are only seeing 1 or 2 bars of signal from their WiFi broadcast, go to where the signal is strong and see if this improves anything. If it does then a booster will help. If it does not then you have run into the typical RV park internet service.
I happen to be in a park where there IS good WiFi but a bad signal at my location. For less than $100 I added a NanoStation M2 and an Air Gateway (so all devices could share) and I now have an excellent connection (went from -100dB, unusable, to -40dB, excellent) in the coach shared by the phone, the computers and the Kindle.
There are step by step instructions available on how to setup the system but you do need a tiny bit of computer knowledge to get the right settings during the initial setup. Let me know if you are interested and I can get you a link to the youtube video.
