Wi-Fi Booster and Range Extender??
What makes a good Wi-Fi Booster and Range Extender that doesn't require mounting it on the roof?

I've been using this since 2011.
There are better things available now, but this works for my needs.deltabravo wrote:

Yes I am trying to pick up the campground Wi-Fi signal and boost it to my laptop better.
Save your money, get a good cellular hot spot and find the best data plan available. Using your phone as a hot Spot will give less than good service, a dedicated hot spot is much better.- Why anyone would connect to the "free" wifi in a campground and expect any kind of speed, other than "maybe" google or yahoo is beyond me...
It ain't like you are going to be able to login into your Netflix account and stream movies all night long! ha, ha...
Not to mention, the security risk in tapping into those 'free' wifi sites at restaurants and such... Even with a VPN, you are more at risk if you feel safe doing that..
Anyway, get a data plan for your phone or a "mifi" device or something...
Don't rely on those 'free' wifi spots.. Just asking for trouble and you won't get any speed anyway, no matter how many "booster" you have.... :)
Good luck! Mitch
- Poor, slow wifi is the norm these days. A booster won’t improve a poor network.
I have pretty much given up on good wifi and went with a Weboost cell booster.
I have iPhones on Verizon with umlimited data we turn into a hotspot AND I bought an ATT based hotspot data only puck which I turn on a month at a time if Verizon doesn’t fill the bill.
This works good enough to stream HD content. time2roll wrote:

Or are you trying to better broadcast your own signal? - And if you are going to look at non wifi, check your cellphone and plan. using a smartphone as a hotspot has become more or less standard.
