On our current Aistream adventure, we have been on the road for over 40 days now. Lucy has camped at 15 or 20 different campgrounds from Alabama to Washington. Almost all of these campgrounds had WIFI as an advertised amenity.
It has been our experience that there is usually a strong signal from the campground's router, but the Internet service from their modem is most often poor or non-existent. We have had to use our Verizon cellphones with FoxFI to establish our own hotspot at all but three of these campgrounds.
On several occasions, I have brought this to the attention of the campground desk personnel. The response is usually as if I had just recited the Lord's Prayer to them in Mandarin Chinese. Most of these campgrounds don't have a clue that WIFI alone does not provide Internet access.
I realize that in some instances, heavy Internet traffic in the campground can slow the system. These campgrounds need to realize that if they want to advertise having WIFI Internet access, they need to provide the band width necessary to serve the number of campsites that they have.
