Shared WiFi?

[stockhausen]

Imagine a location out in the country with multiple accommodation units . . . OK, a holiday caravan site then.

On this site there is a permanent central administration building and shop with a resident family.
This building has a hardwired telephone connection and a router for Internet access.
People own caravans that are rented out weekly to holidaymakers.
Is there any mechanism to supply WiFi to the caravans?
High speed is not really an issue, people are not expected to "stream" films, just to be able to access email, news, etc. . . .

Incidentally, before you comment, this is NOT a "Traveller's" site, it is a permanent, well established holiday site kn Devon - without WiFi

I am not convinced that an external access point would work, assuming you mean RJ45 connections?
The caravans are actually static and on paved hard-standings with power and water connections.
Something like point-to-point antenna(s) with routers in the caravans seems to be the only viable options.
As it happens, connection to the Internet would have to be at the discretion of the caravan owners, I'm not sure that everyone would want to take it up - in which case I would not want people to "hack into the link" without paying their share for the service.

If you give people Wi-Fi they are going to want to watch Netflix on it. . . .

I'm sure you are right, they will not be able to do so.

. . . If Netflix doesn't work they are going to complain that the Wi-Fi is broken. . . .

Tough, they should read the notice

. . . I'd say aiming to deliver 20Mbps to each unit is the goal you should set for this. . .

Sadly, not possible

. . . Sharing a broadband connection probably isn't going to cut it.

So, unlikely to be possible then?
