Dang, Thanks for all the input!
I was really hoping there was a general consensus of one product for this specific task that had a good reputation among experienced campers. It seems that through all the posts, it boils down to either that 50$ Nanostation type device, or one of those USB antenna's. The USB seems simpler and cheaper but that Nanostation sure looks like it would be better
Fizz and TNG, that seems simple enough.
JCpainter, I think that will lead me in the proper direction. Anyone who makes a living associated with those devices must know a thing or two.
wildtoad, About 100 feet or maybe more. And pretty friendly. I'm surprised I even get signal. And the ghz thing is good to know.
Matt, that's what I was thinking. I was assuming the laptop came with a decent wifi antenna and hoping if I buy an external aftermarket one it would be perform better and make better use of a low signal.
Janss, my laptop has been pretty consistent inside the house.
Owen, that sounds like something I'm looking for. I wouldn't mind dropping some $ on something that would make better use of a weak signal and that sounds like what that is.
Bill, that website sure does have some good info. I'm gonna finish reading that specific article after I finish this post.
Wa8yxm, dang that also sounds like it would work. I think I'm looking for something I can keep inside my camper though, unless another option is too good. How does that thing get power?
Tom, I like the idea of that, but I'm specifically hoping that whatever external contraption makes better use of a weak signal than what my laptop can do. Do you think the bear extender would do that?
Thanks again, everyone
