| Smoky, we have a cabled solution to just what you are needing to happen.
I threw a few hundred dollars at Hawking hi-gain antennas, Linksys wireless bridge, and Hawking wireless signal booster, and various coax cable connectors and adapters. All of this was building a complex system that ultimately was not the cleanest solution to getting the wifi signal into the Airstream. I gave all of this up and sold the items that I didn’t break.
I read about USB wireless adapters here on the forums, and I bought into the Radio Labs USB wireless marine antenna, and the USB 15’ extension cable.
I found the hole in the floor at front of the Airstrean where the electrical cables passed through, and this was my access to run the USB extension cable through. I mounted a weatherproof outlet box close by the front of the trailer, and ran the cable end into it.
The antenna is mounted onto PVC pipe and Velcro strapped to the awning, and the cable is connected within the weatherproof box. This is simple to take down and move, and reassemble.
Inside of the trailer, my cabled solution was to turn off the built-in wireless adapters on the computers, and on one of the computers, to use the USB connected Radio Labs wireless adapter. The computers share the common wireless connection through the ethernet ports and a hub. The hub could be replaced with a router, and perhaps a wireless router within the trailer could be configured.
We all agree that wireless signals don’t get in the Airstreams well all of the time, and this is just the solution that I found that works for us at this time.
No matter how cleaver you think that you are in solving a problem, a dozen people will show you a better solution.
