WiFi - one computer at a time - common?
Parked at a campsite on our very first RV trip as a family! Yay! We got an access code for the wifi (Tengo Internet) but each different computer that wants to use it has to "take over" the connect...

@NorCal Dan:
Any (or at least most) router can be plugged into a computer which has access to the internet, and then acts as the gateway. Specifically:
- Computer connects to the campground wifi
- Connect a cable on the same computer's wired internet connection to the "WAN" side of the router, and uses software settings to "bridge" the two networks, so that computers on the wired network (the router and all who access it) can use the computer's wireless connection.
- Router shares (a different wifi) with other devices locally.
