I found that getting wifi inside the coach at a campground was a problem. All of that aluminum siding creating shielding. The Wifi booster system has an outside antenna mounted on the tv antenna. When I raise the antenna the wifi antenna rides along. Just having an outside antenna will help a lot. A few people use a usb antenna plugged into their laptop and pointed through a window. As an example in Santa Fe with Clarke parked alongside me I couldn't get wifi even though the office was less than 150' away. When he left and it was a clear shot I had no problem. Another advantage to having an internal wireless router is the security you have. You are behind your own firewall in your router. Very important if you do any online banking, etc. You don't want to expose this info on a wifi network through your laptop.
