I am really struggling with the quality of products and services, as well as information available about getting/improving internet on your boat. I know Satellite based systems are just stupid expensive and completely impractical for me, so I have eliminated that option. Starlink looks interesting, but they have no marine antenna yet, and it is waitlisted everywhere. That leaves me with cellular and WIFI extenders....

Lets start with WIFI. As I see it there are 2 categories of hardware available. the less expensive (sub $1000) options such as the ALFA Campro 2, the Vector, Rogue, etc. All with fairly short range extension around 400ft. Then you jump to the $2500+ options like Wave, Aigean Networks AN-7000, etc. Does anyone have experience with these systems? I don't mind paying more for hardware if it is better. I just want it to work.

Thanks,
Russ
