WiFi Booster
We sometimes have issues with park WiFi signals being low while in our rig. I was wondering what others to to improve this. I see there are may plug in units as well as roof installed. What is most popular and works well.

- I have wingard LGE modem/router, and it does a wonderful job for me. It has an AT&T SIM Card. I also have an AT&T personal cell phone and Verizon work phone. Since I'm working from home, multiple internet sources are absolutely required.
- Hi,
Everyone in the campground shares a rather narrow pipe. You can boost the signal--but the speed may remain quite dismal. Maybe email will work.
Back in the day, I used an Alpha Pro with a 40 db gain antenna. It would allow me to connect up to about 1/2 mile from a good source--so I'd use McDonald's and the like.
I do not recommend getting such a device. Cell phones are far better wobbly wide web suppliers.

- For years I used a directional USB antenna/amplifier and it worked great. Then it didn’t because too many people were on the CG WiFi. I switched to cell service and use that over 90% of the time.
Dave - Do you have signal a strength issue or lack of band width at the park issue? Nine times out of ten times…or more…it’s a bandwidth issue. Can’t fix bandwidth.
- Most CG WiFi is not secure and over loaded usage for us. We use Verizon or T Mobile WiFi which has limited range and is password protected.
