    I have a portable gaming device like a ps vita or 3ds.
    I Also pick up the trucker newspaper at the truck stops and read those.
    And i improvised a few ways to do some workouts int he truck, Im bringing 2 dumbells with me next time.
    I try not to get too bored or else i will be eating more then i should, go to the truck stop and get some snacks.

    So basically, game a little, read a little, work out a little, and eat a little. Makes for a somewhat happy driver.

    Yeah it might help send the signal further, if its a weak signal normally you would get a better signal and maybe get a better connection speed. But Good luck with that cause its something the truck stop would have to use and im pretty sure they already use a wifi booster/amplifier.

    I was considering the handheld device but the lack of any real games makes it kind of bogus. I'd just get an older gamecube or wii that has more games available at least a bigger variety. I do like working out and the unlimited at&t data allows me to watch tv. Past 22gbs in a large concentration area the speed is throttled back. I kind of figured between truck stop wifi and unlimited data with at&t i should be fine. I also love to read and I'll look into the kindle options
