WiFi Success

I think we'd all agree with that although 14 ga is way overkill.

That said, I do have ethernet up my mast, but if it fails and I am not
planning on dropping my stick soon, I'll revert to repeater mode.
Multiple redundancy is good seamanship.... even if WiFi is a non-
mission-critical extravagance

All well and good but does it leave you with the option of
reconfiguring your bridge to a new SSID, or sign on to a WiFi proxy
site? In other words, can you still communicate over the repeater
link to the bridge if no shore connection to an AP exists?
