That setup sounds very clean but what do you do about power? The
WRT54GS comes standard at 63mw and if you boost it over 100mw it will
over heat.

The 200mw out of my little EUB-362 in my traveling set up makes a
major difference in usable range.


I used to think that mattered. It doesn't because the hotspot you're
connecting to ISN'T running 200mw, probably closer to 50. If I'm running a
kilowatt and you're running a watt, you can always hear me, but I can only
hear you so far. Overkill doesn't seem to fix it....2400 Mhz is line of
sight at any power level less than 1KW where tropospheric ducting will take
it over the horizon:

That won't do you any good unless the marina wifi uses one, too...(c;
