One configured as a repeater and the other configured as a router. You still are impacting bandwidth no matter what you do.
I have an online motorcycle parts business. When we are traveling it is a pain to do business stuff because of no internet. Usually we end up going to McDonalds or the local library for internet access. I don't like the cell network connections because of the expense and bandwidth metering. Maybe by the time I am able to travel for more than a week they will have some better solutions.

Perry, you can get around the bandwidth metering by going to an Android phone through Sprint and using the 'hotspot' feature. It makes the phone a 3 or 4g router and the data is unlimited. The cost is $20 / mo. If you have a marginal signal you can put phone outside the trailer. Sprints 'hotspot' plan is month to month so I turn the service on when I go on a trip and disconnect when home. 3g is not high speed but usually way better than campground wi-fi.
