Has Anyone Actually Have Working Wifi On Their Boat?
Hello Folks, I am radio guy, 30 years experience installing mobile and base radio gear. I want to install wifi on my sailboat. Common sense tells me to install a device on the mast, so cable losses are not at issue at 2.5 or 5Ghz. I am not a wireless network guy. My idea was to install an AP on the mast or hoist it up when I want to use it. I would like it to be capable of a b g modes.
Now my questions;
What AP's can operate on 12 Volts? Can I do this with just a AP, wired to the lan jack on my laptop? You get the idea, Please make a recomendation on what equipment would be suitable for this purpose (i do not want to be a beta tester). I have been searching for this info on the net for weeks, and all I read about are failures and no success stories. I am handy and would not mind buying a AP and mounting in a waterproof box.
Thank You, Louie KA2PFL
