Looks interesting. Certainly cheap enough. Does it help weak signals a lot?

I'm looking at the Ubiquiti Bullet which has 1000mW of power and can be placed outside in the weather. I bought a indoor Amped Wireless Net Extender (600mW) and it doesn't work as good as I would like.

Realize that CG WiFis are usually bad designs and no matter how much power you have it could still timeout and lose connectivity. You need a good line of sight from the antenna/router to the CG antenna, but keep in mind the other RVs could block your signal as well.

X2 We love our Pepwave. DW uses iPad, which usually can't pick up the campground wi-fi signal, but the Pepwave does.

Best bet might be a battery powered wifi repeater placed near a strong signal area.

As has been discussed here many times, it's often not the signal, it's the internet backbone that's the problem.

We both have used Bear Extenders for several years with pretty good results. Good performance for reasonable cost. Won't work for the Kindle as it has a USB connection.

Yesterday the DW won a WiFi Ranger Mobile as a door prize at Escapade. Installed it today and it works way better with the slow fairground signal. It provides a strong WiFi in the rig so it would work with the Kindle. Of course it is considerably pricier as well.
