I think you are really going to struggle to get WiFi if you are that far from the source. A normal wireless antenna on a router is only going to have a range of about 100 metres and at the edge of that the signal woukd be weak.

A better bet would be to either use a mobile phone configured to share its internet connection or a dedicated 3G (or 4G) device like a MiFi.

Hi all,

I want to get internet in the caravan, as I have got BT Openzone. But the nearest house that is next to our usual campsite is about 1 to 1 1/2 miles away. Looking at the web, it seems that you can things like yagi.

But with all the different types of receivers and DBi , Mbps. Has anyone got or used a wireless booster / extender antenna ?

Any help would be great

I don't have a smartphone, I do have a 3 dongle for which I pay just under £16 per month, it works well. I used to have a PAYG dongle from BT with endless problems.

I think you could probably get a cheaper option if you know where to look.
