WiFi Access
I would like to be able to install a wired router on the boat and share
the internet connection among more than one on-board wired computer. This would eliminate USB wireless adapters that connect directly to the computer. Yes, I do this now in our boat. I have a Linksys WRT54GS with the dd-wrt firmware loaded on it. It's configured for "wifi client mode" and handles making the connections to shore sources. To that I have a PC wired. I also have another access point wired to it providing an on-boat Wifi SSID. Our laptops connect to this. This way the laptops always connect to the same SSID. I only have to visit a wireless client status page and make a connection to the on shore SSID. Works pretty well. I'm about to permanently install some antennae for it, probably some 8db sticks on ratcheting marine mounts. -Bill Kearney |
