WiFI

12 days 4 campgrounds. I think that campground owners may be getting the message about Wi Fi. All four campgrounds we have stayed in we have had great to acceptable reception.
Surprisingly MBTP was great, of course we were parked under an antenna, but compared to last visit two years ago when it was for all practical purposes useless,it was great.

    We gave up on the campground WIFI a long time ago... Just could'nt depend on it at all...

    Having your own secure WIFI hot spot using the VERIZON MIFI setup is great.

    Works anywhere your Verizon CELL PHONE service works... My MIFI account is the older 3G but lets me check in with the kids, pay some bills, and do alittle of web surfing. My WIFI MIFI 3G dataplan does not allow any downstreaming. We use the OTA BATWING antenna for the local Broadcast Stations from the local towns to get our HDTV fill. Most often the campgrounds are pretty good with TV cable signals so we will switch between OTA and CABLE alot...

    Since we are in a POPUP Trailer we like to watch the local area live RADAR and local weather broadcasts to keep tabs on any on-coming storms.

  • How full were the campgrounds? If they were fairly empty that may have been the cause of the good WIFI.
  • I've used campground Wi-Fi systems....some were paid (day, week, month) (Tengo-net) the others were "free"...(KOA) and I have my own...VERIZON "Mi-Fi"....anywhere their phone towers are (all over the place) I can get on the 'net.
