Alfa packages the Alfa Desktop R36A WiFi Antenna with their External RV Booster Tube together as the WiFi CampPro 2 v2. They also offer the WiFi Camp Pro 3 with a more advanced outdoor antenna, and Wifi CampPro 3 Mini.
The WiFi receiving component is a USB powered WiFi radio that can connect directly to a single computer to get it online, or it can act as a WiFi-as-WAN receiver when paired with the USB Repeater module which then acts as a router, creating a local WiFi network so that multiple devices can get online and share the upstream connection.
The Alfa hardware has a solid reputation for picking up weak 2.4 Ghz WiFi at long range.
The feature set is very basic and focused on Wi-Fi extending only, but for some the price is right.

Routers can serve as a central conductor of your local area network in your RV and boat. Mobile routers are different from residential routers in that they typically support multiple internet sources like cellular and Wi-Fi, can be powered off of 12v or AC and support external antenna for better receiving signal.
But you might not need a router in your setup. Here's a quick video overview the variety that routers come in:
