Weaker connections will prompt more buffering, for example. The trouble is that you’ll have minimal control over Wi-Fi signal strengths provided at luxury RV resorts and other campgrounds.
But if you rely on a mobile hotspot, you can employ a signal booster to improve the strength of your connection. When you arrive at a new destination, you can always perform an internet speed test to examine signal strength.
