Lilly Marie has a Sonos wireless stereo system. If I install a router I can control the system with my ipad iPhone etc. internet access is not necessary for the controller, but would be nice for updates, Pandora, etc.
There is no Internet cable to the boat, but a wireless signal is available from the house by the dock.
What type of hardware can be attached to the router to allow it to receive the signal from the house?
Your thoughts re brands and models that are reliable and easy to install will also be appreciated.
Thanks

The wirie ap would work. It creates a local network and then detects wifi signals and boosts them. I have one it works great. Easy to set up. Easy to use.

Re: I need help with wifi hardware
Sky,
The Wirie looks good as a signal booster and router, but it does not appear to have an Ethernet connection. The Sonos only has Ethernet connections and it must be wired to the router. I don't know if I could wire the antenna via USB to a computer and then connect the computer to the Sonos with an Ethernet cable?
Thanks

Re: I need help with wifi hardware
I ve had excellent result with the Rogue.. It s a good booster and hooks up to just about any router, so you can connect your hardware via Ethernet and use the Internet connection with any device

Re: I need help with wifi hardware
At Pascal's suggestion, I too bought the Rogue and have had very good luck with it. I have it connected to a Cradlepoint router and use a 4G aircard in the router to acquire my internet signal. When I have time, I will have the router fall over feature enabled so that it defaults to a hot spot type internet connection but will roll over to the air card if no hotspot is available.

Re: I need help with wifi hardware
I googled 'Rogue' and did not see anything that made sense to this discussion. Anyone have a link?

Re: I need help with wifi hardware
I just finished reading all the threads for the last couple of years on setting a WiFi booster/hotspot and I'm leaning towards the Wirie ap. I would like to hear back from anyone who has this system and the ability to have a good signal inside the cabin. In my case it would be mounted on my arch and the cabin is 2 levels below. I like the Wirie ap due to it being total waterproof and ease of setting up.
Appreciate any feedback.Art

Re: I need help with wifi hardware
Have had the Rogue for almost two years. Very satisfied. Great support staff. Well worth the money.

Re: I need help with wifi hardware
As mentioned last year, I ve been using the rogue for 4 years now and it works really well. I like how you can mount the unit itself inside and run an external antenna. The wirie looks like a good choice too but if the box need to remain attached to the antenna, then you have that colorful box outside. Yeah, it may be waterproof but I wonder how the plastic will fare after a couple of years in the sun down here.
