Will a Wi-Fi Extender Work in an RV Park?

One Wi-Fi extender will improve the internet connection in your office. You’ll need a better solution because your guests want Wi-Fi too.

We’ve been telling RV park managers about Wi-Fi services lately. That’s because our Signal Connect division provides high-speed internet to RV campgrounds across the country. We’ll get to that later. Right now, we’ll focus on the question, “Will a Wi-Fi extender work in an RV park?” A lot of people are asking that lately. Chances are, it’s a group of RV park managers looking for an easy solution. We’re here to tell you that easy solutions aren’t always the best ones, especially when it comes to Wi-Fi for RV parks!

What Does a Wi-Fi Extender Do?

Internet connection gets weaker the farther away it gets from the router. A Wi-Fi extender is a device you connect to your router – either wirelessly or via a wired connection – to extend the range of your internet signal. This is great for homes, where the extender helps get signal past the dead zones made by walls, furniture, space, and other obstructions.

So, let’s say you get that extender because you need to improve connectivity in your office. Yes, it will work just like it does at home. That’s great for you, but it does nothing for your guests. At best, the RV lot that’s closest to your office might get some enhanced connectivity. But that’s a pretty big “might.” Chances are, they probably won’t. The question you should be asking is…

…How Do I Improve Wi-Fi at My RV Park?

If we’re just going to focus on equipment, I have your answer. You’ll need the right combination of wireless access points and extenders. What’s an access point? It’s a device that connects directly to your broadband router or network switch with an Ethernet or data cable. It transmits and receives a wireless signal in the Wi-Fi range, which is 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz. This lets you connect wireless to your Local Area Network (LAN) and the internet.

So, what does the right combination of access points and extenders do? It quite literally blankets your RV park with high-speed internet. So, there’s the answer for your campground. Just get a certain number of these devices and place them around your park. Sounds enough, right? Wrong! Something this important needs to be trusted to professionals. And the professionals you should turn to are…
