This is a WiFi directional antenna. It will do you little good in a crowded rv park as far as the parks Wi-Fi goes. 20meg into the camp, 50 people streaming...you'll not get much speed or reliability no matter how good the connection.

Below are cell phone boosters.
Some work with data, some don't.
So some will boost Wi-Fi and some won't.
I don't remember which does which.


The white one will lock onto a cell tower and sometimes not unlatch because it's very powerful. This locks that channel out of the tower until they reset. Of course you're down the road on another tower with no consequence. It can add four bars where there are none. It requires specific antenna and placement.
I've had it for years as a portable unit between cars. All our cars have their own antenna set up, so it's just cable twists and USB power to move it. It uses pig tail omni directional antenna and a credit card sized directional antenna on the dash. We seldom use it because cell service is seldom missing for us anymore.

The rectangular black one will take a signal from -200 to 0. Unbelievably strong.
So powerful. I haven't tried it with an omni directional anntena. But with an app and a direction twist by hand, it'll lock into a cell tower 40 miles away. It requires two antenna.
We used it before we had internet service here at the house. This is why I know the meter readings and about adjusting the antenna. It will supply better cell service to anyone within a 500ft circle of you, the whole camp. Now that we have Wi-Fi here this system is unneeded and might maybe possibly wind up in the rv.

The last one, the WeBoost, is cold crap on soggy toast. Even Physically touching my phone to it does almost nothing.
It came with the RV.
It sucks.
