WiFi

We are in a campground that has crappy WiFi. Our park model stays at this campground. What would you recommend for a WiFi booster that we can use to increase the strength of the WiFi.
Thank you Barry
  • Campground WiFi is throttled so you can’t used it like you own it, it a convenience for travelers for basic connectivity, if you want real internet get your own service
  • You probably need a cellular hot spot.
    Although sometimes you may have some luck in the clubhouse. Ask where the antenna is.
  • We just had fiber optics installed at our seasonal site in NC. The slow internet speed was a killer and we stream alot. So frustrating as someone said too many pigs at the trough. LOL! Now we only have one hog...and it pays the bill. We also can put it on vacay mode for up to 6 months. I don't know if that is an option but to us it's worth it.
  • The strength of the WiFi signal is not your problem. The bandwidth of the campground's connection is. There are just too many pigs at the trough trying to check email, surf the Internet and stream video. I know of very few campgrounds with useable WiFi. Check into using your smart phone as a hotspot.
  • Boosting the wifi signal does no good if the wifi is slow to begin with. It will allow you to connect better, but will not speed up a mediocre wifi. So make sure the wifi is worth boosting before you spend money to do so.
  • Signal strength is the issue, or bandwidth?
