That is an obscene price! IMO
There are several WIFI extenders that are discussed on here and you will hear about them and they are a fraction of that cost.
Remember, the problems is that the vast majority of WIFI systems in RV and State Parks are virtually worthless.
My advice is save your money and spend it on a modest system and then spend the rest on your cell broadband which is what you will be using most of the time.

Looks like I need to add four more things to my Amazon List thread.
Here is what I STRONGLY suggest as I use this:
Ubiquiti Networks PoE Injector
Ubiquiti Networks Air Gateway
Ubiquiti Networks Nanostation M2
Ubiquiti Networks Window/Wall Mount
Also you will need a 6-12 ft Cat6 Ethernet patch cord. The longer the better as it will allow you to put the Air Gateway further away to hide it. Just in case HERE is a patch cord from Amazon.

JMO, I took the factory tour the other day.....Entegra is doubling the price on an outdated system. People that were on the tour thought it was great...I just shook my head. It was not my tour and not much I could say.

Agree with Gary, save it and boost with your carrier. AT&T has been more than enough for our needs.

Wow! That is about $950 more than what I've got tied up in my system.
There were several great replies regarding better options.

I also put that system together last winter, but have not pulled it out of the cabinet since the Mobley came along at $20. unlimited, high speed data per month. That's why I thought the Winegard system was already outdated.....I haven't even used mine outside of testing it. However I do have if I happen to be in an area of no cell service. The Bott system does work nice for less the $100., but with the Mobley I don't even have to sign on at every stop, it's there just like at home.

I'm right in the middle of adding both a Wifi and cell extender. Got the outside antennas installed yesterday. Now I need to finish the inside.

Is the dicor enough to hold that antenna down in the second picture? I need to mount the weboost antenna on my roof but feel weird about drilling into the roof.
