What I want to do is, via wireless, use multiple computers with a single aircard in various areas of the boat. I've read about "ad hoc connections between computers but I believe they are connected by cable. Maybe I'm missing something that you can explain to me. Simply, I have 2 laptops and one Verizon aircard. How do I make them work, wirelessly (at the same time), anywhere on my boat without moving the aircard from one computer to another. and without having cables attached between computers. Your help will be greatly appreciated by this "electronic muddler".

John, You may want to look at Kyocera KR1 Broadband EVDO Router with WiFi. This configuration allows you to plug your aircard into the router then share the internet connection via multiple PCs or laptops throughout the boat wirelessly. We are looking at installing this configuration on boat for the loop so we can operate a laptop on the bridge (navigating and weather) and a PC in the cabin for email, pictures, etc. Cost is reasonable and seems easy to install. You can get info at EVDOinfo.com We have no affiliation with either the equipment or website. Mike
