Upping Your WiFi Access For Pop-Up Internet Use
Dave SolbergEven if you use RV travel as an opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle, there still might be times when you need to log on and check in. Maybe you need to touch base at work, or maybe have kids who need entertainment on a rainy day at the campground. The KING WiFiMax™ Router/Range Extender allows you to connect to the internet with 2.4 and 5G, harnessing the available broadband at a campground and boosting it for more consistent access.
In this free video lesson, RV repair and maintenance expert Dave Solberg explains why you might choose to utilize a router extender in your pop-up camper. He talks about the reasons why most campgrounds offer spotty coverage, and how hardware such as KING’s WiFiMax™ work to amplify what limited service you are able to find. Although Dave is one of those veteran RVers who gets online only when he absolutely must, he definitely recommends hooking up with a WiFi extender if you ever need quick and reliable internet access. Happy travels!
Typically, when I go camping, I wanna get away from it all. I'm not worried about WiFi, or cell phone reception, or anything like that. However, when I go camping with kids, and the majority of people out there with kids, especially if you're in a pop-up and it rains, you need something to do. And you think about it. You've got a very small area in there and you're trying to get four people, six people in there with things to do, and WiFi at the campground typically isn't too good.
They may have a router at the main host area, and if you get out about 100 feet from that, you probably don't get much signal coming from there, unless they have repeaters around in the campground. So there's a couple of options that you can do. This happens to be a King model here, and it will actually pick up the WiFi reception and boost that. And part of what's happening when you do that is the fact that you're now taking the strength that it is. And so other people around your area are gonna have a little less bandwidth.
But the nice thing about this, it does both the 2.4 gig and the five gig band. And the five gig, if you've got that has a much wider band. Now, we did a video a while back with one of my little tech gurus, talking about how that's got more availability to it. But if I'm looking to just boost the signal a little bit, give the kids something to do inside on a rainy day, this is the option. Hook it up, all you have to do is plug it in, go into the settings inside, find the King system and just pull the WiFi signal that you have.
and it will boost that in. Otherwise, if it's a really nice day, I'm gonna be outside, but this gives me an option.
I enjoyed the video. Thanks! We have a small campground in Detroit Lakes, MN and wifi had always been a challenge until we upgraded. Did Dave say that using this King Router takes bandwidth away from the other people around them? Todd
