Re: Opinions regarding improving WiFi at campgrounds
Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply, and for your welcome. This is just the embryo of an idea, I wanted to throw it out there to see if people would just say "this has been done to death, people have tried before, it never works because of x, y and z", then I could forget about it and stop daydreaming :-) But it sounds like it could require some more thought, and careful consideration of which CGs might be: a) interested in the potential returns on what they would need to spend, and b) technically feasible273Views0likes0CommentsRe: Opinions regarding improving WiFi at campgrounds

I wasn't expecting to be the first person to have thought about this, and there isn't a one-stop solution that will work for all campgrounds. If the connection coming into the CG office is poor to start with, there's not much that can be done to improve it. I'm more surprised that some of the larger CGs in areas that are relatively well served by ISPs still don't put much effort into creating a WiFi network that is something for them to boast about and promote as a positive attraction.273Views0likes0CommentsOpinions regarding improving WiFi at campgrounds
Hi folks I'm a newbie to the RV world, so please be gentle. My family and I have just moved to Canada from the UK, and will be jumping into RV life with gusto next Spring. We're a fairly hi-tech family, smartphones, tablets, laptops etc.. I'm an IT geek, currently working from home, but had an idea for a business, and I wanted your sage opinions on whether this would fly or not.. I've been reading up on people's experiences with connecting to WiFi networks at campgrounds, and it seems that generally the experiences haven't been good. I was wondering about branching out into providing campground owners with much improved WiFi resources, so that each pitch could be guaranteed a strong signal, perhaps even wired access to premium pitches (thinking of those Workampers), improved bandwidth management, this kind of thing. I know I would like it if I knew the campground I was going to had a reliable, decent internet connection. Am I barking up the wrong tree here, or is this worth more investigation? Thanks!
