Internet RV is 300 feet from home -- WIFI /??/

[TenOC]

A few years ago I ask about how to obtain internet access at my RV that is 300 feet from my home. I received some good advice on how to transmit WIFI that far; however, I choose to run CAT5e underground. Last night the storm wiped out my Ethernet underground cable so I tried to find the conversation about extending WIFI but could not.

Your suggestion are welcomed again.

This is what I call a "Wi-Fi Modem" in that it is a Wi-Fi Client (or access point it operates both ways) with a LAN port (Plug in your cat 5) to whatever you have inside the RV. 300 feet is nothing over open ground to the Nano Staion.

3 MILES over open ground (No trees or hills or buildings) is doable.

I"ve done well over 100 yards from a house modem many times.

This is basically half a wi-fi Ranger (The other half is my house router inside the RV)

Read the reviews. All those gizmos have huge advertisements, when performance can be a different story.
I have repeater or extender to get camera signal from my gate.
About 150' from the modem, but across the house and the signal comes weak and 2nd repeater was even worse.
So IMHO redoing the underground cable might be still good option.
PVC pipes are cheap and that could shield the wires from elements.

If you use a travel router AKA WiFi repeater such as the WiFi Ranger or similar with a rooftop antenna you’ll have no problem picking up a signal from 300 feet.
