WiFi Antenna For Weak Park Signal

[Ken & Patti C.]

Hi All:

We've all probably experienced a weak WiFi signal when we're on the "back row" at an RV Park or maybe shielded by a structure.

Recently, I visited with a fellow RV'er who has an antenna manufactured by the C. Crane Company installed on his ladder at the roof top. The coax cable was directed down the ladder secured with cable ties. Entry through the back cap brought the coax inside into a cabinet where all of their computer connections were located.

Go here to read about and see pictures of this system:

Then scroll down the page 'till you reach a pic titled:
"Long Range RV WiFi Antenna"

Click on that hyperlink and you'll get a page titled, "Improve RV Park WiFi."

Then click on the link below the pic titled, "Omni-Direction RV WiFi Antenna to Computer USB port."

Then click on the hyperlink below the pic titled, "Click for instructions."

This will bring up an enlarged pic detailing the components required for this system. My friend advised that the "Low-Loss Coax Cable" was NOT the same as RG-6 TV coax lead in. In fact the "Low-Loss Coax Cable" in their system was almost twice the diameter of RG-6.

He also added that they did not like the black colored cable and ordered a white colored Low-Loss Coax Cable from Wilson Electronics and the other components from C. Crane. The white cable, perfect color camouflage, is available in various lengths as shown below:
Wilson RG-6 Low-Loss White Coaxial Cable
F-Male / F-Male Connections
950602 2-feet
950620 20-feet
950630 30-feet
950650 50-feet

Using this system "dramatically increases" (his words) the WiFi signal in locations that would otherwise only yield a marginal signal.

My question: Does anyone have any experience with a system like this, or similar, and what is your experience? I'm strongly considering installing a system like this.

THANK YOU in advance for any observations.

Sincerely,
Ken & Patti C.

Before you buy a "pig in a poke", call the 3GSTORE.com and tell them what you want to do. I have their system for amplifying local wifi and have been very happy with it.

Here is two other solutions.

I have the first one and was able to pull signal from two blocks away that I was unable to see.
