Re: [IBWiFi] WIFI Antennas

Dick,

We added the JEFA Tech model aimed at RVers (<http://tinyurl.com/jefatech>) last year and were very happy with it last summer. We made the trek to Alaska and relied on park WiFi more than usual for us. It mounts outside and the mast can be removed for travel. It doesn't have a USB connection but rather uses a Linksys router with customized firmware that allows you to connect the router to an external WiFi signal, then have "local" access to the repeated signal. Worked great for us, since we could move our wired peripherals (printer, NAS) to the router and still have access using park WiFi.
