I'll second the Verizon MiFi. Even works well in Canada, just don't over do it time wise. David Doyle In a message dated 4/24/2013 4:38:53 P.M.

It will run up to 5 devices at a time - computers, iPhones, iPads, etc. The important thing to remember is to NEVER use "free WiFi" unless the system has "Password Protection". We have seen a "hacker" clone a Residence Inn WiFi site and then sit in the coffee/breakfast room and wait for Inn residence to log in and then steal their identity. According to our business computer consultant, there is no "firewall" that can prevent the hacker from gaining access to your computer if you "Leave Your Door Unlocked and Open" John =============================================== On Apr 24, 2013, at 2:42 PM, davidsorenson wrote: > Allen, > There are a number of wi-fi systems available. We purchased the IslandTime PC system a year ago and have been happy with it. At its heart is the Ubiquiti bullet, but the fellow who put this system together has completely marinized it and designed it to easily work on a boat, including external marine antenna and all you need to tie into your internal 12 VDC system. You can set it up as either a direct ether-net cable or a wireless local area network. > > We used to have marginal wif-fi signal even in our home marina, but the IslandTime system gives us a solid 5-bar signal all the time.
