Booster for Wi-Fi

I have been searching for the same thing. Most reviews are from people that the company’s gave them to test. Not sure I trust that.

Anyone used the camp pro 2

What I have found out is the Wi-Fi in allot of camp grounds is really lacking even when your next to their
antenna, you can have the greats high power USB Wi-Fi Extender Antenna but if the camp grounds has a poor
internet connection your no better off ...

We an another couple were parked side of the WI-Fi antenna at a camp grounds in Oregon. it was very slow,
so I went to the office near their router which was about 15 yards away an still had poor speed, their
comment was that's as fast as it gets ...

I have to log into two of my computers at home which operate radio equipment, at times it's a challenge
at best most place's even using the software I have for remoting Ugh

FWIW ... I never use the campground wifi. I have two hotspots (1) AT&T wireless internet with 100 GB data plan (upped to 150 GB due to being bundled with DirecTV) ... $100/month. (2) Verizon MiFi 8800L with a prepaid unlimited data (seriously, unlimited with no throttling but it is network managed) plan ... $70 per month ($65) if you use autopay. We use the Verizon 90% of the time as it usually has the best connection ... but the AT&T gives us a good plan B.  Both offer good speed, the Verizon is a cat 19 device and the AT&T wireless internet is a cat 16 device (theoretically gigabit speeds if the tower can handle it, real world speeds less, but still very good).  They are smoking fast.

Campground WiFi is unsecured and unless it is very well designed (rare) the size of the "pipe" that all data must go thru is shared by so many people that it frequently is either painfully slow or non functional, primarily due to the new fad of "streaming" TV shows or online gaming.  WiFi boosters will do nothing to change the size of the "pipe", so it's a way to strengthen the available signal strength, but won't change the thru put at all.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:  If you think of your cell phone or cellular hotspot as a human head with a mouth and two ears ... a booster acts like a megaphone to allow you to "talk" louder to the cell tower.  Cell phones and hotspots have pretty weak transmitters and a booster "can" help you talk to more distant towers.  Your "ears" are the antenna built in to your devices.  Boosters do nothing to improve your reception ... it some cases it may actually degrade your reception.  So you can put antennas on to improve your reception and you can use boosters to improve your range ... but antennas and boosters work on different problems (sending and receiving).  In most cases, an antenna will offer more improvement than a booster ... but it depends on what you are trying to improve.  Antennas are cheap, boosters are not.  Antennas actually work better than boosters (in most cases).  Having both would be ideal, but at some point the money has to be considered ... so just know what you are trying to "fix" and buy the right device to solve it.
