Here's a post from another board and those of you traveling in RVs may find
it interesting. This is posted here with the OP's permission:
Here's a little WiFi project that I've been thinking about for my Bounder
and finally completed this week.
I started with a Ubiquity Nanostation2 (NS2) for my antenna. Can be
configured as a router, bridge, repeater, etc. 400mw. The antenna is mounted on a
Winegard TV antenna rotator/lift. The Cat5 cable from the NS2 is routed
through the roof foam to an area just above the right front radio speaker,
and into the speaker cavaity. The Cat5 cable then plugs into the WLAN port of
my Linksys WRT54GS wireless router. The NS2 and the router both operate
on 12 volts, which is available behind the speaker. I upgraded the router
operating system with software from DD-WRT, so I could raise the output power
from 27mw to 70 mw. Mounted in the speaker cavity is a fuse block to
protect both devices. The fuse block is turned on/off with a piloted switch on
the front of the speaker panel. Not only does the router service his'/her's
laptops, it services a Lexmark wireless printer mounted in the rear of the
MH. This combination of parts allows me to make connection to access points
when others can
't. It also allows others, close to me, to get on the internet through my
router. My total investment is about $200.00 and too many hours to count.
