Russ, I discuss the options here: https://gilwellbear.wordpress.com/category/boat-technical-topics/equipment-topics/computing-aboard/connectivity-and-data-security/. Al Thomason and Chuck Baier also have excellent information on DIY approaches on their websites. Do you have a need for a router in addition to a range extender/"booster?" For example, to support IP Cameras, NMEA Multiplexor for feeding PC/Tablet, or digital camera picture exchange? If so, you'll need more than just a range extender/"booster." The Wirie AP is a good pre-packaged solution. Similar unit is the Ubiquiti Bullet. The Bullet requires an Ethernet Cable for power and signal; Wirie requires a power cable for power, so neither is completely "wireless." For pre-packaged solutions, IslandTimePC and WireAP are your best choices. IslandTimePC has a great reputation for post-sales service and support. For DIY solutions, I'm a fan of the Bullet; simple, inexpensive and robust. The CradlePoint Router family supports both wireless Ethernet (wi-fi) and cellular modem connectivity, so for the way we cruise, it's by far the best router solution. They're a lousy company for service and support, so I'd certainly like to know of other dual Ethernet/cellular modem router solutions. Hope this helps.
