What I need to boost(extend) the wifi in the campground?

Hi,

A wifi amplifier--but almost all campgrounds have overloaded wifi--too many users and not enough bandwidth.

I did have a high gain antenna and a wifi device--I could get a signal from Mcdonalds (for example) up to 1 mile away.

A better bang for the buck may be to use a cell phone as a hot spot.

I agree. First I don't trust any open wifi, Next usually they are overloaded. I use either my phone as a hotspot or my dedicated hotspot.

Now in campgrounds even a hotspot may have speed problems even with a strong signal. Similar issue to campground wifi, Lot's of users accessing often one local cell tower with limited channel capacity.

Still I prefer my own hotspot, I can trust it, I know it's limitations, and we have "unlimited" data plan with it. "unlimited" like most if you go over XXX GB the throttle.
