WiFi Extenders that work for public WiFi routers
I have a Linksys WiFi extender that I recently tried to use at an RV park that had WiFi. The WiFi signal was quite weak at our site so I wanted to set up the extender. To login to the public WiFi on my laptop, I would have to open a browser and agree to the terms of the public WiFi in order to connect. When I try to set up the Linksys extender, it will recognize the public WiFi router but will not connect since it can't open the browser to agree to the terms and conditions. Linksys says that I need the IP address of the public WiFi router but no one at the RV park knows what this is. Does anyone know the solution to using a WiFI extender? Are there ones that actually work? I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars and install something like the Winegard Connect 2.0 4G and LTE to the roof.1.5KViews0likes5CommentsTow Dolly with surge brakes - recommendations?
It seems that the general consensus is a tow dolly with surge brakes for towing our Mini Cooper with front wheel drive.(our MH isn't wired for electric brakes). Any recommendations? Does anyone have the Acme EZE-Tow with surge disc brakes? It looks like a reasonably priced well designed tow dolly. Thanks.3.6KViews0likes13CommentsBrakes needed for car tow dolly and Mini Cooper?
We have a 2015 Mini Cooper Countryman that needs to be dolly towed. It has electronic brake assist so I cannot use a Brake Buddy. We have a 2015 Itasca 35F Sunstar with a towing capacity of 5000 pounds. We do not plan to travel to Canada in the near future (where we understand brakes are required). We will probably get a vehicle we can flat tow next year. We would like to get the least expensive, used car dolly for this summer for the Mini. Do we need a surge assisted brake dolly? It would be very expensive to wire the Itasca for electric brakes. Thanks.2.3KViews0likes8CommentsRe: Pioneer in-dash DVD player not a recognized source
I cannot get to the back of the TV. It is on a plate that is screwed to the back of the TV and to the cabinet. I'm not sure how you would get it off. I don't know what the wiring is from the receiver since it (the combination receiver/ DVD player) is mounted in das). No, I do not have a controller box near the TV or in the front over head cabinets. All that I have in the front overhead driver's side cabinet are the component video/ composite audio that goes to the TV for the Direct TV receiver and the satellite coax from the satellite antenna. If there is a setting on the receiver that makes it a recognizable source on the TV I'd like to know! Thanks.186Views0likes0CommentsPioneer in-dash DVD player not a recognized source
We purchased a used 2015 Itasca 35F with a Pioneer in-dash receiver/DVD player model AVH-X3600BHS. The previous owners played DVD movies to the lounge TV through it. When I insert the DVD into the player I can hear the sound but the DVD player isn't recognized as a source (input) so I cannot get a picture on the lounge TV. (The only highlighted option on the lounge TV is "TV" - all of the others are greyed out). Is there an output setting on the DVD player/receiver that needs to be selected to allow the Insignia lounge TV to recognize it as a source?1.2KViews0likes5Comments
