Hey everyone... long time lurker finally created an account! I was curious what you guys think is the best wifi extender for RV's? I've been doing some research and I'm torn between a few of them. I think I've narrowed it down to these two:

rv must haves best wifi extender

and this one:

WiFi Ranger on Amazon

**edit** This one on Amazon has one great review and one lousy review, but a lot of people said it was good on another forum. So who knows??? Hopefully you guys!

There's a good discussion on Facebook about it, but figured there would be more people here who would have a good answer. So what are you guys using successfully?

I just received my wifi booster from Wilson Amplifiers cost was 179. and it increased out wifi from almost nothing to a signal that I can Skype our grandkids from inside of our MH. We are currently at Eglin AFB Famcamp and if anyone has been here sprint is weak. I would consider looking into one of these. www.wilsonamplifiers.com so far I am very happy and they give a 30 day return no questions asked policy.

At my old work, Hawking had the cheapest POS hardware I'd ever seen. I don't know if they've improved, or if we just bought their low end product, but it was really bad. Their switches used to literally melt themselves overheating.

However, I'll do a quick google search and see what I can find.

If you can find out what it's called I'd appreciate it. I like to do a lot of research before I make a purchase.
