Our park model stays at this campground. What would you recommend for a WiFi booster that we can use to increase the strength of the WiFi.

It will allow you to connect better, but will not speed up a mediocre wifi. So make sure the wifi is worth boosting before you spend money to do so.

The bandwidth of the campground's connection is. There are just too many pigs at the trough trying to check email, surf the Internet and stream video. I know of very few campgrounds with useable WiFi. Check into using your smart phone as a hotspot. 2016 Winnebago Journey 40R 2018 Rubicon 1982 FJ40 Toyota Land Cruiser 2020 Keystone Outback 327CG 2020 Dodge Ram 2500 Polaris RZR XP 1000 4 Cats 3 Dogs 1 Bottle of Jack Daniels Two old hippies still trying to find ourselves! lap527 • View posts Ocala, Florida Senior Member Joined: 09/29/2003 View Profile Offline Posted: 09/23/20 07:41pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator We just had fiber optics installed at our seasonal site in NC. The slow internet speed was a killer and we stream alot. So frustrating as someone said too many pigs at the trough. LOL! Now we only have one hog...and it pays the bill. We also can put it on vacay mode for up to 6 months. I don't know if that is an option but to us it's worth it. 2006 Dodge 3500 dually 4X4 / 2013 Livin Lite 10.0 TC /Torklift talons, fastguns, stableloads, superhitch, and truss/ towing a 14'V Nose Trailer Hauling 2014 Tri-glide Harley Davidson, recently added a 2016 Livin Lite 21RBS travel trailer.

Although sometimes you may have some luck in the clubhouse. Ask where the antenna is. 2001 F150 SuperCrew 2006 Keystone Springdale 249FWBHLS 675w Solar pictures back up RickLight • View posts Washington Full Member Joined: 01/22/2017 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 09/23/20 07:57pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator The experts are at https://www.rvmobileinternet.com/ Rick, 2019 Grand Design Reflection 150 273MK 2015 Ford F350 CC SB Lariat Powerstroke PullRite Superglide travisc • View posts Pacific NW Senior Member Joined: 12/14/2008 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 09/23/20 09:20pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Campground WiFi is throttled so you can’t used it like you own it, it a convenience for travelers for basic connectivity, if you want real internet get your own service Winnebago Access 24V wa8yxm • View posts Wherever I happen to park Senior Member Joined: 07/04/2006 View Profile Offline Posted: 09/24/20 04:54am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator If it is a park model this means it does not often move.

The internal aircards are usually very weak, so they do not reach back to the source. Do others near you have the same problem? If not, you may need an external repeater or router to boost relay the signal.
