WiFi Receiver...

I am sure this has been a topic before, but just sharing my version. WiFi Ranger was way overpriced so I created my own solution.

It is the air gateway LR with the POE injector. Up CAT 6 to the Ubiquiti bullet. The bullet will use a “N” antenna connection. In my case, I used a TP Link antenna. Very simple system.

Ubiquiti Air Gateway = Router inside the trailer for all wireless devices to connect to. It creates a local network based on the amplified WiFi connection received via the antenna (the campground WiFi). The POE Injector = device that takes the 12volt or AC current over the Ethernet cable to the Ubiquiti Bullet. The Bullet is the WiFi access point. The antenna is a TP Link antenna is a 15dbi Omni direction antenna. This means that I don’t have to point the antenna in the direction of the signal. It will pick up any network from 360 degrees. The Ubiquiti software allows sorting of all networks that are found by signal strength, and then you connect it to the one you like.

Thanks for your post.

Doing a quick search online, for the POE, should the model number be POE 24-12W-G?

Probably. I am not the best at typing via thumbs.

The AirGateway LR is works with 15V/0.8A or 24V/0.5A POE Adapters.

The 24-12W-G. Is the one I chose and fits in the mounting bracket that comes with the AirGateway LR.

Pretty good results for a campground. Just make sure you are OK to use a lot of data on their Wifi network. Most don't want you downloading videos or streaming on their Wifi. You don't want to be "That Guy" hogging all their bandwidth!

XM antenna, I used that access to route the wire. Go figure, about an inch & 1/2 hole for a tiny XM antenna, but it came down in a great location.
