We are considering adding a Mobile WiFi Router for use on our boat. Sometimes referred to “MiFi.” Reasons: More secure access, more consistent access, can support multiple devices. Some of these devices can be powered by 12volt or 120volt while others can only be operated with 120volt service. We would prefer one that could operate off DC or AC. We are looking for manufacturer and service provider recommendations from the group. The device would be used primarily along the ICW from Chesapeake Bay to the Florida Keys. Thanks in advance for any comments/advice. Steve ---------------- Steve Bedford maxmarineproducts.com Home of the Super MAX Anchor M/V No Regrets II, Legacy 42 Burgess, Virginia Sent from my iPad.

Steve: Lots of solutions out there. Most are based on the same radio, an Ubiquity Bullet. You can google these and find tons of them for under $100. The big advantage of the Bullet is that it is directly connected to the antenna. I discovered that no matter what cable you use between the radio and the antenna the signal loss was huge even with a short distance. If you don't mind spending a bunch of time googling how to set up and use the Bullet then this is a good choice. If you want more user friendly software and the ability to get support and possibly a better mounting solution then the products like the RedPort Halo, RogueWave or  Shakespeare WebWhip make more sense. But they all use the same radio. I really like the steel case that comes with the Wave Rogue Pro because it allows you to mount the radio with a standard marine mount. We also use a Verizon MiFi hotspot when wifi is not available. There is a website named pambo.com that specializes in electronics for boats and there are lots of reviews and info there.
