Wifi/Cellular/Hotspot Discussion
Would like to be able to boost wifi signals from as far as possible
When no wifi is available would like to use a dedicated sim card.
Hookup anything just like at home to my router via LAN cable.
Seems like there are a few all in one solutions like the Wirie http://www.thewirie.com
Would really like to see what most of you are using or with all our combined knowledge/experience what can we come up with.

If I want to use the cellular method, it is easy to hotspot off of my phone.

Mounts to a marine antenna mount, has 120v or 12v adapters. Works great foe cheap. Has wireless router, but I use my own. No LTE, only downside.

Re: Wifi/Cellular/Hotspot Discussion
I happen to boat in an area where cellular service at LTE or as a minimum 4G is everywhere so no issues here. Yes it is more expensive when using data however the connection is alway there. Need to do more research but this device seems to be just the ticket I need. https://www.netgear.com/home/products/m ... lerouters/

Re: Wifi/Cellular/Hotspot Discussion
Will be a few weeks before I can set this up and report back but it seems rather straight forward.

Caylx is a Sprint service but there are other companies that offer similar set ups for the other big carriers
