wifi booster/antenna

I use a Ubiquiti NanoStation. Often times, I use it to access one of Comcast's free Xfinity WiFi hotspots (have to be a Comcast customer). They usually have better signal, reliability, and speed than any camground WiFi.

If you are using just one device (laptop or desktop), you can connect the Nano directly to the computer. If you need wifi, you can connect it to any Wireless Router.

thanks again for sharing. I will be checking out each one of your suggestions.

Using a small dish made by Hawking Industries. Aimed at the router it takes a 1 bar signal & boosts it to a 4 or full scale. Turns an unusable signal to the devices own antenna into a 3 or 4 bar usable signal.

Thanks for all the help. Much appreciation.

I just bought a Linksys at Best Buy for $79. It does work, but I've got it outside, on top of my truck hood, encased in a zip lock bag (it's raining). If the wind were to come along and move it 1/4" out of position, I'd probably lose signal. Bottom line is that it's not a cure-all. Linksys has a $159 version, but the blue shirter told me I'd probably be satisfied with the $79 version; I'm not so sure. What pisses me off is I can see the wifi antenna about 150' away, with nothing in the way!

I use a Ubiquiti BulletM2 Titanium Ubiquiti 2.4GHz 802.11n/g with a directional Yagi antenna. This has a huge range and does really well with not so good rv park WIFI's. But this might be a little over kill for what you need but it does allow me to work all day from the RV without issue.

I use an Amped SR10000 range extender. It definitely improves the Wi-Fi signal, but that's only part of the problem. More often than not the main problem is the campground's bandwidth. Too many campers trying to stream movies, etc. No amount of boosting is going to help that.

My solution for that is a Netgear AirCard and a 20GB data plan. I'm a software developer and need access for work.

I usually have enough data left over to watch a few movies on Netflix.
