Weak Campground wi-fi signal

Bob, I got one of these. They do not make bad service good. However on my laptops the signal is much stronger. Sometimes your campsite is in the weak part of an omnidirectional Wi-Fi service. Whatever the service may be you will lose less packets with one of these. And as you requested they do not cost an arm and a leg.

Nope. It's only as good as the system they are using. You can't make a space ship out of a Volkswagen. It's best to just depend upon your own WIFI, like your Iphone or SmartPhone hot spot. Pay for a decent plan and then you'll not have any problems.

Ha, HaVW Spaceship

Not for Mobley, for phone
The phone is a display device where video can be watched
The Mobley is not

Makes no difference, Mobley is unlimited

I think you need to have an att phone plan and then they don't charge you data for the streaming of DTV.

Htwheelz67,

If you have Direct TV and the Mobley is your only ATT account, do you still qualify for free data streaming that does not count against your data usage?

Or do you have to have one of AT&Ts regular cell service accounts to qualify for this?

I cannot seem to find this on their website.

Thanks for sharing.

I use the same setup and I get a great signal 1/8 mile away, my neibors all walk over to the wifi center, I also have a verizon wifi but the hot setup is the att mobley unlimited for 20 bucks a month. sse this thread http://forums.trailerlife.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/29200191.cfm I like verizon phone service so I dropped my unlimited plan from verizon and bought this mobley so now all my data in my verizon phone goes thru att at a much cheaper price, I got an adapter for home/rv use, it works killer and only 20 bucks a month. sorrry heres the linkmobley you can even add a router and you can even get a LAN adapter for ethernet cables and bypass the 5 device limit, I'm thinking of dropping my cox internet at home for 80 bucks a month for this. It streams video great and if you have att and directv you get free data streaming DTV.

I mounted one of these yagi antenna on my batwing antenna mast. That allows me to rotate it from inside the rig, sometimes able to find several wifi connections other than the campground. Its connected to aa Alfa booster.

There is no way for you to increase the bandwidth the ip provides the camp. In most cases, the camp cannot get more than they provide, due to the fringe- rural nature of camps.
We can get 100mps down, 50 up currently. Now if 50 guests are online,. 1/2 our camp, your slice of the pie through our Ruckus device limiting modum will restrict each to 2 mps. down, 1 up.
We prohibit video streaming
Please understand that many camps do not have even this amount of bandwidth, available.

Signal strength or band width? Different issues.
