I have a WiFiRanger. In the 2 1/2 years of fulltiming that I had it installed to the roof, I can count on 1 hand the times that it was helpful to connect to campground WiFi. Generally speaking, the issue isn't getting a connection, it's the crappy slow speed of that connection. And even more specifically, it isn't about the connection, it's the crappy slow internet source that the campground has coming to it.
The way to test it is to go to the source of the WiFi with a laptop or phone and connect. Do a speed test - if it's slow, nothing will fix that. If it's fast, but it's slow when you're inside of your RV, then a WiFi booster will help.
I require decent internet as I work fulltime from my rig. For me, I carry 2 different truly unlimited hotspots; one on AT&T and one on Verizon. My cellular bills are some of the highest monthly bills that we have. But, my situation isn't the same as everyone else.
Now, I do like the WiFi ranger for giving me a network backbone in the RV. I connect all of my devices to it and I'm able to change their internet source in one fell swoop. Plus for things like serving media to the TVs or printing, it's much faster than relying on the mobile hotspots (plus, with 2 of them- I'm never on the right network!).
