Hi all, I have a boat in a marina, the office sent out a letter that they now have a wireless router up and running and gave out the code to log on. I'm about 500 ft away and don't even see the signal. The farthest boat is about 850ft. After investigating the setup, I see the router is setup in an interior utility room. The signal must pass through 3 walls just to get out of the building. I doubt anyone in the marina can get a signal, the girl in the office said her laptop works, in the office.
The router has the standard short antenna and I see no way to remove it and plug in an antenna. I want to see if I can help the marina get a setup that works for me! First, an antenna with a 90* pattern will cover the whole marina from the marina office. I want to know what can legally be done with wifi antennas and routers to make a working system for the marina. Mike
