Re: I need help with wifi hardware
the rogue wave is actually a bullet from ubiquiti. But their software is much easier to manage than the bios on the bullet, and probably worth the $ unless you are fluent with static IP addresses.
Rogue Wave is more user friendly from the feedback. I have never tried it.

Re: I need help with wifi hardware
Ditto on rogue Wave Pro, mine has been up and running for 4 years as well and with the exception of occasionally having to power cycle it (and that has only been because the wifi setup at my club is wonky and locks the chipset up in the Ubiquiti device within the Rogue unit.)
But their tech support is the owner of the company on his cell phone. Cant beat that, and he is a nice guy to boot.
His user interface is set up for non-techies and is just plain easy to use.Shawn

Re: I need help with wifi hardware
Since this thread has been revived...
I ve pretty much given up on WiFi. Too few open hot spots and in the Exumas the pay service is too limited in bandwidth
I m only relying on cellular, both stateside and in the Bahamas. We use a dual sim cradlepoint mobile cell modem with an unlimited ATT sim and a My Island WiFi unlimited sim for the Bahamas along with a Shakespeare cellular booster plus a Nighthawk Tri Band router. Works very well.
We ve been using My Island WiFi in the Bahamas since December, it s a fantastic service. $75 a month unlimited with no fine print or throttle back. They use BTC towers but truly unlimited. No contract,cancel anytime. With as much as 10 charter guests we use a lot of data in the Exumas and it s been flawless
In my own boat here in Miami I use another unlimited ATT sim in an ATT Unite hotspot. Works very well too
Unless your home marina has excellent WiFi, I no longer see the point of WiFi on boardPascal

Pascal - thanks, the cellular booster sounds like a good option. Is this the unit?

Also, do you even bother with the Rogue Wave anymore?Jerry B.

Re: I need help with wifi hardware
Yes it is. I ve gotten as much as 18 miles range with it
I haven’t used the Wave in a couple of years. Actually on the 84 I run now, we have the larger version of the wave, (EC10 I think) but not enough good hotspots to bother. Even at a marina with great free WiFi, like Bay Street Marina in Nassau I don’t bother with unlimited Cell dataPascal

Re: I need help with wifi hardware
I have customers using the route wave all over the area and loving it. They stay around the rivers and marinas and use it for work. Whe. they do head offshore they dont need wireless until they get to their next temporary home office and find the wifi much better than the cellular.
It's what works for them and in the areaScott
