ALFA Network WiFi CampPro 2 Universal WiFi/Internet Range Extender Kit for Caravan/Motorhome, Boat, RV

We've had a camping pro before, it was an older model and it worked great for a long time. It was time-consuming upgrade to the newer version.

I just installed this and I'm most impressed by the value. You get a lot of capability for about half what you'd pay for a higher level system. Where my RV is set up we couldn't hold a WiFi connection inside. With this system we get solid WiFi connections and good speed.During setup, you need to follow instructions carefully and be patient while the system goes through the process. Mount the antenna higher for a better signal, above the roof-line. The ladder is one good place for a permanent install, but beware that you may hit limbs and damage the antenna. A folding mounting bracket is a better idea so the antenna can be stowed. Another idea is to mount it to a PVC pipe that extends at least a foot above your roof and can be temporarily installed to your ladder or elsewhere.My experience with RV WiFi boosters goes back ten years to a time when modern, reasonably priced, consumer equipment didn't exist. Back then, I constructed my own high power RV WiFi system using commercial equipment. In my opinion, the ALFA CampPro 2 gives you the most value and performance for your money of all the products I researched. There are better products, but the next level of quality and performance will cost twice as much.

I like the thought behind this product and it will not work for everyone’s situation. Being in the WiFi management world I understand how to set this up and use some of the more advanced features. I do wish the internal unit was a dual band and had 5GHz as well. I may experiment with a Raspberry or other to replace the internal unit when I have time. I’m in a perfect scenario for the unit this weekend camping. The campground WiFi AP near my site that is run from the campground store router is down however the stores WiFi is up. I used the external omni directional 2.4Ghz antenna to connect to the stores WiFi and then used the internal unit to connect all my devices (sentence for ones that may want more info on how it works). First time out and already benefiting from it! I did also buy a higher gain directional 2.4Ghz antenna and replaced the omni once I got a connection and pointed it toward the store and got a -54dBi which is great (-65 - 67 on the Omni) I have not seen the disconnecting issues like some have experienced but I do have the version 2 and Campground WiFi could be the blame in a lot of cases.

When it works, it's just fine. However, it just quits working at random times throughout the day. Sometimes it will restarts when you hit the button on top of the device, sometimes it doesn't. When that fails you have to use a sharp instrument to use the reset button on the bottom of the device and then re-input all of the information. It's a real hassle. If you have the time, energy, and patience for this more power to you. I don't.Support? Well, they were prompt to answer. However, they're not very bright. When I told them about resetting the device, they took that as meaning that it was working. I had to contact them again to get them to say they will send me a new router. Then things got dicey again with the communication because I didn't have internet, so I had to use the app on my phone. It was confusing for me to use the contact the vendor section of the Amazon app, so that delayed the shipment of the new device. It's been 3 weeks now and I still don't have the new router.I don't even know if I'll be able to submit this review because I had to reset the device again 10 minutes ago and it looks like it quit internetting again. :(

First off...the product. It does what it says it's supposed to do, and does it well. Keep in mind, that this product is not a miracle worker. I'm utilizing it to secure a stronger WiFi signal at my campground. While I am definitely getting a stronger signal, the internet speed is still only as fast as the WiFi signal being sent out from the campground office. So, if you are just looking to get a stronger WiFi signal, this will definitely do the trick.Secondly...the seller...TECHNORV. I cannot say enough good things about them. I received my order within 2 days of placing my order. Unfortunately, my item was defective. After 30 minutes on the phone with TECHNORV tech support, the gentleman advised he would send me a replacement, and a return shipping label to send the defective one back. The second unit was shipped and delivered on a Thursday, according to UPS tracking number, but I did not receive it. After waiting until the following Tuesday, and still having not received the second unit, I contacted TECHNORV and advised them that the second unit was lost. TECHNORV shipped by another unit...OVERNIGHT!!The folks at TECHNORV are AWESOME!! I will definitely be doing business with them again!!

It was a well made product and the set up is super easy thanks to the extra instruction sheet and well written instructions.Ultimately I know it’s our poor WiFi signal at our camp ground but isn’t that the point of needing this device?......and I admit I expected a miracle with this but I was disappointed that it really hasn’t helped at all. Since it does cost a bit more than some devices on the market I was at least hoping that it would keep a consistent signal if not a great one ....at least a steady one. It doesn’t even do that We tried moving it etc as the guide said but nothing helps. We are pretty disappointed that it didn’t help even a little bit for the amount we paid for it. Some improvement in signal would have been great. But people with poor WiFi to start are their target consumers.....but I guess it only works with a great signal to begin with.It was a good thought
