Question

What is the best way to accessa WiFi connection while cruising? Do you have consistent high speed and what connection speed do you average? I need to run a VoIP phone and access my internet based applications.

We are cruising down island and to Central America, so we will be quite aways away from Marinas at many times.

Answer 1

First of all, WiFi and Cell-phones are all Line of Site or LESS... WiFi IEEE 802.11N has an outdoor range of ONLY 160 meters !! A cell phone might work up to 15-30 miles away from a cell-tower.

Now you CAN get internet access via satellite... though to run a VoIP, you'd need two-way broadband service.

Now WHERE are you "cruising" and how far from the marina are you actually going !!

Good Luck !!
