WiFi Connection

Bob,

Some comments from my experience: Most campground WiFi systems are useless. They have limited WiFi coverage, are overloaded, and/or have a limited data connection to the internet server. With two iPhones, a computer and an iPad they are very disappointing. 

I have had good luck with the ATT mobile Hotspot, but Verizon has a competing product called MiFi. Rumor has it that Verizon has better coverage off the highways, but I can't speak from experience. I do have a Wilson iPhone amplifier/repeater with separate antenna because the iPhone has no external antenna connector. It worked well inside the fiberglass R-POD and I now have the external antenna mounted on the roof of my aluminum skinned Camplite 21RBS. A data plan is required and it works well in 3G/4G areas. I don't have good data yet where 3G/4G is not available. I suspect usable, but slower.

When camping I need to connect to my office via a WiFi connection. I was wondering if anyone has used their phone as a hotspot and how effective it was. I will need to upload and download files. I know most rural areas have only 1G speed. We would like to use more primitive campgrounds but have been limited to private ones with WiFi. Any help would be appreciated. I know that each area has different connection strengths or none at all. Suggestions? I know that many of the fast food franchises so offer free wifi, but kind of inconvenient to lug a printer to the locations. Safe Travels.
