Hello, friends!
Based on a lot of reading here and elsewhere, I have decided to invest in a cell phone signal booster and a Wifi amplifier. We won't need these often, but we do stay in several places where they would come in handy. Since I won't use them all the time I've decided against a permanent antenna installation, but would rather mount both antennas on the same, temporary mast that I could set up as needed. If I use a cell booster antenna such as the omni-directional Wilson trucker-type or something similar on the top of the pole, then use a flat panel directional antenna below that for the Wifi, I figured I could set up the mast, point the directional Wifi antenna in the direction of the campground Wifi, and be all set.
Do any of you folks who understand the magic of electronics know of any idea why this would not work? If it matters, the cell booster is the Cyfre CA-819, and the Wifi booster is the Alfa AWUS036NHA.
Thanks very much!

I just bought the wilson mobile 4g. It is certified for RV use.
I have a pole tie wrapped to my rear ladder , and a trucker anntenna at the end.
It is awesome..
I was at 1-2 bars 3G.. getting dropped. etc..
Now 4g and super fast.. If my network provider can keep up and stop throttling me.

Best investment I made for the rv so far. Though we need our internet, and can't have the stress of slow speed either..
I don't know much more about the tech.. Just needed something.. And it works great !
