    I actually have a portable hotspot from our cellular provider, would just need to connect that and make sure that it can get a good signal.

    My family is a 'connected family' so everyone has at least two personal devices. =)

    I have always had good luck with portable hotspots, but I found that my phone's hotspot
    is generally adequate and doesn't cost anything additional.

    On my last trip, I used that, or the campground's hotspot. All I needed was a 2 mb
    connection to stream, and most times the park's Wi-Fi was adequate.

    I was able to use a Roku device to load the Spectrum app which gave me access to
    everything that I recorded to the 'cloud' DVR which is a feature that Spectrum provides
    to travelers like myself.

    I was a happy dude.
