anyone have a wi-fi connection on they're boat?
how does it work?
cost, availability, etc.

I've seen them. How do you think it works?? Cost/availability
depends on how you're connecting and to what network.

i understand it is a wireless connection composed of "hotspots"
i was referring to the stability of the connection

if i knew the answer i would not have posted the question and i was really
thinking about you so you can spend 100% of your time making such emoroumus
contributiuons to this group as you have just demonstrated.

but than again a dinghy would be a poor place for a laptop.

now go away little boy

Fishboy,

You really are an idiot. I asked a legitimate question based on your
lame posts to this point. Since you still don't get it, let me try again.
So, you figured it's a matter of stability. Good. Now, think. How
is stability related to the connectivity available? Gee, it must be
related to distance or quality of the hotspot. Since you're obviously
in a "rural" location (close to sheep I'm sure), then I suspect you're
limited as to the coverage.

You might want to consider a cellphone/net connection. It's much
more stable if you're moving around. On the SF bay, for example,
cellphone coverage is pretty much everywhere. I knew someone
who used Ricochet and it was pretty good, but I don't think it exists
any more.

It still exists, with two coverage areas, Denver and San Diego. I'm in
San Diego and have been using Ricochet on my boat for several years
now. Pretty cool, good connection while at anchor in the bay and some
areas offshore, up to several miles.

Then you should have asked: "How WELL does it work?" and not "How does it
work?".
