trailer park

[intel25]

Park has free wifi works perfectly outside trailer. Drops like crazy inside trailer, pretty much unuseable. How can i boost the signal inside the trailer while keeping it wireless as i have multiple laptops. would a yagi work?

thanks

It depends on how much you want to spend, a USB WIFI adapter with an external antenna connection would allow you to use a corner reflector antenna, that will give you more gain to/from the WIFI site.

Then there are the WIFI boosters, you can use one that has an externally mounted antenna (outside your mobile home) to the inside mounted WIFI booster.

Look at some of this type of stuff.

This would work for all the laptops you have.

would like to keep it as simple as possible and under $150 and keep it wiresless

The WIFI kit (in the link I posted) with the external antenna and internal WIFI router will work for all..Keeping it wireless from the router to your laptops.

Your RV has a metal shell, which will block a ton of signal, the external antenna will pick up the signal and route it to the router, then you have you own internal WIFI spot.

See if you can google some reviews on it and see whats up with it before you buy, (the choice would be yours) I have installed some stuff like this and have had mixed reviews, most were due to operator errors.

and for the most part, those kits are easy to set up, and you have a great site to get tons of help on right here!

I have seen people use an the type of "painters pole" the extends up and down and install that right on the back of the RV ...and install the wifi dish on it ..

i wonder if cell phone antenna repeater would work? put one out side the trailer and one inside.

I asume its the metal of the trailer that is cause the issues I can see the antena and its not that far away. I can pick it up when i sit outside with out problems. so i think something like this set up should work
