I live in a rural environment and have a shop office about 150 - 200 feet from my home router. We get our internet via Hughesnet right now and have the 50 gig plan so we can stream movies. We don't stream that many but have never gotten near our plan's limit. I send the internet up to my office using a Netgear AC750 as has already been mentioned; It is a range extender for extending the range of your router and I don't think would help boost a signal inside an RV. I have an USB Wifi outdoor antenna on my shop and it picks up the range extender. Can't recall the name of this antenna but is is powered through the usb. The antenna is on an outside wall and the USB cord comes in through a window (made a small hole in the frame). My antenna is very directional but a similar antenna mounted on a pole attached to your ladder or the like and you are able to turn it in the direction of the wifi would probably help. I am also not sure how far a USB cable can go but the cable would have to go into an extender or router inside the RV or directly into your computer.



We are hopefully leaving Hughesnet next week. Have an appointment with AT&T Fixed Wireless Internet installer. They put an antenna up next to your house on a pole or mount on the side of your house; it is line of sight internet signal coming from a local AT&T tower and we are supposed to be in range. I have my doubts but it is $70 a month WITH NO CONTRACT and $99 for the antenna and router (they call it a gateway). I hope it works because we pay well over double that for Hughesnet. Hughesnet service is OK except for peak times and I think too many folks use it and downloads seem to be a lot slower meaning it is not always easy to stream movies on Netflix.


I use my phone for a hotspot for several years with AT&T and had 32 gigs a month for almost $200. We could stream some movies but had to keep an eye on the data usage. If you went over it was $10 a gig which can mount up if you binge watch some shows. If you go over with the new Fixed Wireless Internet service it is $10 for each 50 gigs of data. If you sign a contract for the Fixed Wireless service, it is for a year and you get $10 off and you may be able to bundle telephone and DirecTV for more discounts but I didn't go there.
