My setup has a bridge at the top of the mast, and an AP in the boat.
That worked for a time, including with a Vonage router in between.
Somehow it went off the rails, and I'm currently attempting to make it
retrack.


I've been trying some new equipment since our last discussion about
WiFi. My latest acquisition is an Engenius/Senao NOC-3220 EXT which I
have configured as a bridge and interfaced with POE Cat-5 cable. It
took a while to get it working, thanks in part to my inexperience, and
thanks in part to sketchy documentation which unfortunately seems to
be par for the course.

My advice is to get your bridge first configured directly to a laptop
so that you can confirm that your settings are correct. At that point
you should be able to substitute an AP pre-configured on a different
WiFi channel (maybe ch 1 instead of 6).

Once you have the Ap/router working with a PC you should be able to
plug in the Vonage box to the router and have it take off also.

Take it one step at a time. It is important to avoid IP conflicts
and/or incorrect subnet settings.
