Even more problematic, your wireless device will have puny output compared to the wireless access point. Even if the provider can punch 5G signal to you, your tablet with an antenna the size of a dime, won't be able to communicate back to that access point, render the connection worthless.
I have read of parks that have 5GHZ routers out doors. but reading the documentation for my new Chromebook (Which likes 5Ghz routers big time) I'm not sure that's legal.
I know I want one,, I toss major files about inside the RV (mostly via Cat-5 not Wi-Fi) but a nice high speed router would be nice.
How fast are 5 Ghz routers.. with a proper internet connection (Fiber optic I suspect)
Had a 3.7 Gig file to download. Well went to Denny's where they have a very good Internet connection
by the time I finished my "All American Slam".... I had two copies, one on my Chrome book, one on my Android phone.. Now all of them are on this Windows 10 box (I do not think it does 5GHZ) Oh and I did about 3 hours of Internetting on other "point and click" pages while I was downloading.. That sucker is FAST.
but I want 5GHZ for internal
My repeater is a cross channel job as well. I am currently (As I recall) listening to Chanel 1 or 11, and repeating on the other of those two.. I do my very best to avoid the park's router channel...
Fact: Same channel repeaters are "Store and forward" they download a packet, then transmiot it. Download the next and then transmit, so speed suffers.
But a Cross channel can rebroadcasst the 1st packet while it receives the 2nd and thus you take a very tiny PING hit but throughput is not affecrted at all.

The ones I know of in places like Glacier, Yellowstone, Grand Canyon and the like have marginal internet at best and most have no wifi at all. Same with cell phone coverage. Hotels may cover an Acre or two at most, RV parks 10 times that. Of course you can get better wifi service at a hotel in a metro area. But that isn't because RV parks are all going cheap.
Hotels do it. It really is a cost issue, not a technology issue. The FCC fined Marriott for trying to block personal WAPs.

However, this is yet another problem many of us park owners lump into the "we put out the wifi service, what and your fellow RVers do degrade the system for everyone is not our problem." management style. I gave up long ago trying to keep the channels free of interference, right along side keeping the bandwidth hogs at bay.
I was in a park with similar rules and their explanation was that your router/amp/ranger extender must use one of the limited number of channels available on the WiFi Networks (Channels 1-11) and would cause interference with their networks so none of these devices were allow. This included WiFi type devices as they also use the same channels to broadcast a connection to the devices inside your coach.
The RV park has every right do exclude anything they like (i.e. we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason).
Failure to abide by the park rules would lead to eviction and that particular rule was very well advertised in the office as well as with yard signs throughout the park.

So the park can tell if you have a router connected.
A router is not necessarily a repeater.
If the parks rules concern you, discuss your specific equipment with park management. If there is a problem, go elsewhere.
