Not a Tech Person at all, need help understanding wireless internet for outdoor RV?
I am currently remodeling a newer RV on the side of my parents estate for my parents. Its a rather large property and now that im almost im having a hard time understanding the wireless internet part. They want to have the rv as a guest house i guess you can say is what their aiming for. We want the guest have access to internet. And have internet access from the tv and laptops is access netflix social media basically anything guest would use the internet for haha. My parents do not have wi fi internet but internet none the less. (they are old haha) Is there anyway to get wireless connection from a RV first of all, i heard of wireless USB connectors to get internet access but im not sure how wireless anything work. Please help, im a 22 year old girl trying to figure out about wireless connectivity and im FAR from tech savy. Please help a lady out? Explain simple please

It is actually much easier then it sounds. You will need to first purchase and setup a wireless router. Dont be too intimidated, you just plug a cable in from your modem to it and most of them come pre setup. Examples:

In the RV I would say most devices are already wireless configured. Smart TVs, Video Game Consoles, Streaming Devices, Laptops, and Cell Phones all have interal wireless adapters so you will just need to connect them to the wireless router in the house.

If you have any further question, please contact me on http://www.HonestCanadian.com and I will help you setup everything. I am being honest it isn't complicated and I will be able to walk you through each step.

Cheers and Good Luck.

A wireless router can be installed in the home where the Internet modem is. This router will provide the Wi-fi you are looking for. The down side to this is that virtually no Wi-fi signal will reach into a metal vehicle if it is very far from the router.

A second option also involves a router. You could bury an Ethernet cable from the home to the RV. More work but this will reach up to 300 feet from the router.

Here's what you do: buy a wireless router like this one on Amazon.com:

http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-RangeMax-W...ess+router

It is just a box with a power cord and transformer. Find where the Internet is coming into your house and plug it in to the box. Also reinstall the plug going to the existing components for the house. There will be a model number and serial number on the box. Start up a wireless capable computer in the RV and go to the Internet connects. You will see the model number from the selections, click connect. The password will be the serial number.
