Wifi access while on the road near Savannah, GA?

I'll be travelling from South Carolina next month to our next camping trip in Florida. I'll be pulling my camper and my wife will be pulling our boat with her car. While in route, she will need to make a pit stop to attend a virtual meeting. She will have her laptop in the car with her. We expect to be in the Savannah, GA area around the time of her meeting. Is there a place near there where she can pull over and access wifi while in her car for the meeting? She will have the boat behind her. Thanks in advance for recommendations.
  • Many not all Home Depot and Lowes have free WIFI, fast food restaurants claim to but I found them to be very unreliable. Especially for high bandwidth. Florida rest stops have WIFI I don't know about GA.
    No hotspot on your phones? That is the best.
  • Your cellphone's hotspot is your best bet were service is available. Second best is to buy some limited high-speed broadband service at a truck stop like FlyingJ. Most free WiFi places like restaurants will cut you off after a few minutes of high speed streaming.
  • Cell is the best option but we've found most fast food places provide free wifi and it's always been plenty fast enough for a video meeting.

    I would suggest you think about getting a dedicated hot spot, they work better than using your phone.
