We are at the moment using it at our home. We are currently staying in our 5th wheel, and use the extender to pick up our wifi from the house. It works great for us.

If you have wifi in the camper and an available outlet. You can use the product. Make sure you have a computer handy to set the extension

Chadman · Answer

Yes, but you want it somewhere halfway between the base router and where you want to use it. If you just plug it into your camper nearby it will get a signal no stronger than you did originally.

Thomas · Answer

There are different arranges on the extenders. The stronger and father the signal range to more money it will cost you. They will boost the signal. Find out what the distance from the campground office is to your camping area. Then check on range on the extenders to see if one will work for you. Keep in mind if your camping in different spots the distance will be greater and short so keep that in mind when selecting products.

It depends on how far away to primary wifi source is from the trailer.

Have to be programmed within close range of the router than can be extended for a surprising distance..

Probably not that far

As long as you can recieve a weak signal from where you are parked then it can be amplified.

I never thought of this application, but as long as you have the security password for the campsite WIFI then I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work.

Please see my review of this product. Netgear's extender is poor at best. However, the conditions where I use mine are different. I live in a Condo so the signal has to go through cement walls. If you are camping there is more 'open space' - which may make the signal more accessible.

I have mine in my house and it works great. Not sure how it would work in a campground trailer if the original wifi source is quite a distance away. You may need a stronger netgear wifi extender that may work better for your needs. Get the strongest one you can. Like my dad used to say "better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it."
