Portable Wifi
We are getting increasingly frustrated with rv parks that promise Wifi and have only a weak signal that is barely accessible. Are there any recommendations for a portable wifi system? I know nothin...

Well if you want to toss a kilobuck or so at it Wineguard now makes a WI-Fi "extender" with built in 4G capability. It mounts on the roof for a better "View" of the Park router(s) and if has high gain technology to better suck it in. if it can not see the park you have the Cellular option.. But I think the price is well... Pricey.
What am I using? Umbiquiti Nano Satation Loco M2 (Recommend the M over the M2)
This is a decent long range Wi-Fi Client. with a LAN type port instead of a USB it feeds the "Modem" or WAN port on a common router. any common router. I do not recommend Belkin but that's what I'm using. (Have a linksys in storage and there goes the @!#$!@# Breaker again.. OH well back to finish shortly. There All Reset.
Now I have a couple places the M2 won't work.. and in this park they have a Nanny Gate that is a pain in the operating system So I use the Hot Spot on my T-mobile cell phone.
NOTE in the parks where the M2 won't connect.. IF the S-8 (Cell phone) connects. then the M2 will connect to the S-8 so its even better.
But setting it up. till you get used to it. A but of a hassle.
NOTE there is one called "Wi-Fi Ranger" which is basically the same as the setup I use. Not sure which model WI-Fi client they use. but it is more or less the same hardware I use. Just different router and possibly a different external module.. Oh it mounts on my flagpole. It is also you you are seeing this.
