Most sites have wifi with secure passwords etc.

Has anybody found a decent repeater booster that i can use on 240 as anything has to be better than my iPhone/ipad ?

I like the MotorhomeWifi setup but I'm using the following bits:
  • Alfa R36 802.11 B, G N, Repeater And Range Extender For Awus036H, this work on 12v or 240v just needs the adapter.
  • Alfa AWUS036NHR – High-Gain 2000mw 2W 802.11 B/G/N Wireless USB Network Adaptor
  • although the AWUS036NHR comes with a 5dBi antenna, I also bought a seperate CSL 12dBi rod antenna for wifi, made a big difference
Total cost about 85 pounds. It all works well and lets you setup a wifi connection in and around the van. For me the CSL 12dBi is excellent really made a big difference to the range of the wifi spots I can connect to.

You can plug a Mobile data USB stick in to the R36 instead of the AWUS036NHR , but I found this a right pain and a bit fiddly (config wise) and now use the Netgear Aircard if no Wifi available and want internet access round the van.

If you just want a repeater rather than a 'booster' I have found the Huawei E5336 to be excellent. It latches onto a weak signal far better than my 'smartphone'. You can also insert a SIM for mobile broadband (it is unlocked). I have used it with excellent results in both France and Spain. It has a rechargeable battery so can be placed anywhere inside the motorhome - I have found up in the rooflight is good when the signal is very weak.

I'm using the first generation motorhomewifi hub but with my own antenna
The repeater is available in Jims shop
Here at shell island I'm connected to a FON spot a good mile away

Yet again I find myself impressed by your cunning designs. Have you modified an old Status TV aerial or is the pole part of the antenna?
