Boost internet signal

I am in an RV Park that provides internet, but the signal is often weak. Is there a product that I can buy that would boost the signal and speed of the internet to our two computers? Is this the type of product I am looking for? The source is approximatel .2 miles from the RV.

      That USB adapter adds Wi-Fi capability to a computer.  If your computers already have Wi-Fi capability, then what you probably need is a range extender (link).  But a range extender will only work provided that your RV park's Wi-Fi either has no password or a simple Wi-Fi password.  It won't work if you need to register for access via a webpage of some sort, like what you see in a hotel.

  • We have the same problem but we would like to use our smart tv for streaming Netflix and such also,,,any product recommendations m
