Default Improved WiFi Reception for your Vessel

Improved WiFi Reception for your Vessel

http://www.fantasia35.com/wifi.htm

"
Go from being able to receive one access point with high packet loss
to receiving more than 20 solid high signal strength access points."

"The problem with most WiFi receivers is that their interface to your
computer is either pcmcia or usb. In both cases there is a severe
limitation to the height of your antenna. Here is a solution which
uses a Netgear WGE101 802.11g 54 mbps WiFi bridge. This product has
Ethernet out allowing the device with antenna to be elevated up to 300
feet! In this application the pcb from the WiFi bridge was installed
into a water proof nema enclosure and hoisted it up to within 3 feet
of the top of the mast. "
