Hi,

I have recently purchased a trailer out near where i live. At the place i keep it, there is some service and obviously no WiFi. Im just wondering if there is any way I am able to get WiFi out at my trailer. Like any sort of portable router that would work in cars or something along the lines of that so i can have WiFi with me at my trailer.

you would have to get internet service to the router.

you cant just leech wifi from space.

 

honestly you may be stuck with satellite if there is no better alternative

You can pay your ISP every month for a 4G USB stick that will give a computer access to the internet.

Some kind of mobile hotspot from a mobile carrier would probably work.

If you have a place nearby like 10km or so, you could buy the item Linus reviewed. Its an over the air dish to dish.

Maybe a friend or something. Now that I think about it, I think the distance is more like 30km.
