WiFi Tips and Tricks for Your Next RV Trip

Staying connected while traveling is important to most people, so having available WiFi is a necessity. Whether you work from your RV, live in your RV full-time or are taking occasional trips, being able to connect quickly helps things run smoother.

Although many parks offer this free service as an amenity, but, because of the number of guests trying to access it at any given time, it may be difficult to tap into it. The reasons may include obstacles such as trees or buildings in the way as well as limited or low-powered signals. Even when there are multiple transmitters, connecting can be fleeting.

No-one wants to use up their data while on the road, so let’s take a look at some remedies.

Check out these WiFi tips.

1. Create your own WiFi hotspot (follow these instructions from techbuzz)
2. Use an extender antenna (Tom’s Guide provides his best picks for extender antennas)
3. Try a booster (Actiontek has a good synopsis of when to use this option)

Breaking down the options.

A hotspot is a wireless access point, typically in a public location.

You can access a hotspot from a smart phone or laptop. Many cafes, bookstores and other businesses offer hotspots so their customers can connect to the internet. It’s important to take security measures when using a hotspot, because they are public. By installing a VPN on your mobile device, your data will be encrypted, so even if you’re hacked, the information is impossible to read.

An extender antenna is is a type of wireless repeater.

This device may be used when the network signal isn’t getting to all the areas you need it to. Sometimes techies call these areas deadzones.

A booster extends a signal by boosting or amplifying it.

When you visit Stonebridge RV Park in Sweeny, Texas, you’ll find FREE WiFi to be one of the many amenities offered.

The frustration of a good, available signal is frustrating at best. By trying one of the options list ed here, we’re confident you will find a solution that works best for your situation.

Fishing, Fishing and More Fishing at this RV Park

If you love fishing and you love the country, Stonebridge RV Park and Resort is the perfect place to spend some time this year.

Fishing is so relaxing.

Who doesn’t like to kick back beside a pretty lake and throw a line for a couple hours? You can start by setting up your lawn chair, close enough to have a seat while you wait for that bite. Open your tackle box and set it by your chair, so if you need something it’s right there handy.

Here are some of the specific items you’ll need while fishing.

You’ll for sure want to have either live bait, dead bait, or lures. Depending on what you’re hoping to catch, that’s how you’ll decide what you bait you’ll use. When you catch the fish, you’ll most likely need a net. Pliers are also necessary in case the fish swallows the hook. Some fishermen like to have a pair of gloves handy just for such purposes. Other items that you’ll want to be sure and have in your tackle box are extra line, hooks, and weights.

And don’t forget about some of the more “convenient” items to bring along fishing. A wide-brimmed hat to keep some shade over your face and a pair of sunglasses so the glare of the water doesn’t blind you. Also, you’ll want something refreshing to drink while you kick back and relax.

Don’t forget to read up on the park’s guidelines before you head out to the lake and pond.

At Stonebridge all fishing is catch-and-release, so guests of all ages can enjoy fishing for years to come. Because of this rule, you’ll find some monster fish! Be sure to have your camera handy for those quick pictures before you release your catch back into the water.

It’s so nice to see so many different people, from small children to grandparents, having fun fishing while they visit the park. It’s just one of the great amenities the visitors and long-term guests get to enjoy.
