The outdoor adventure lifestyle is great for getting away from the rush of life. However, it doesn’t mean adventures need to be cut off from the grid entirely as they explore by land and sea. Of course it’s nice to unplug for a while, but sometimes it’s necessary to have access to email, banking, and business portals while you’re on the road. The wide variety of WiFi antennas and hot spot equipment now available allows adventurers to maintain their access to the grid should they ever really need it. Whether you just want to check in occasionally with family or friends (and show off some photos of explorations), or want to log every event via Facebook, Twitter, or your blog, a few simple pieces of hardware can keep a person online and in touch like they never left the comfort of their couch.
For those who like to mix the outdoors with more modern comforts, the majority of RV parks open today offer WiFi access for guests. However, this service sometimes is only available for an additional fee – or may just be such a weak signal that access to much of anything is rendered impossible. Either a USB antenna or an externally mounted WiFi antenna can help to pick up a weak signal, connect to it and maintain the connection to deliver internet to your device. Another option is to use your cell phone to create a WiFi hot spot. This can be a viable option and depending on your phone model and service provider you might be able to do this with no additional equipment at all; however this can often lead to large data charges from phone companies on the next bill. Simple kits are also available that will allow you to convert your 3G or 4G cell phone signal to a WiFi hot spot as well for individuals who find this to be the best option but do not have phones with built in capability.
