Thank you. Great information. Recommendations for wifi and cell boosters..in your opinion. Reliable brands? Portable? I will be travelling both on a 37' sailboat, presently at a club on Lake Erie & in a travel trailer with my elderly mom.. just trying to make some equipment multipurpose.

Thanks for these great videos. Although you have corrupted me. I now look round boats I'm interested in going ... no fuse, wrong grade of wiring, no boot on positive terminals, no battery tray when needed, etc. Please keep up the great work.

Are there marine systems that offer both in one unit? You could use the cell booster at sea creating a boat hot spot and log in to free wifi’s at dock.

One important thing to remember with cell boosters: it is very important that the "outdoor" antenna (the one that connects to the cell tower) and the "indoor" antenna (the one your phone connects to) must be installed in a way that they cannot see each other's signal. If not installed properly the signal can feed back between the antennas and screw up not only your reception, but also the reception of everyone else who is trying to use that tower. If your equipment is causing that type of interference, there is a good chance you will get a visit from a grumpy network technician asking you to disable your equipment to stop the interference. (and referring the issue to the government enforcement officials if you refuse)

Jeff, what about Starlink as a way to get online? I know that’s a bit beyond the scope of this vignette, but I find the whole Starlink evolution here in the PNW to be fascinating and maybe promising for boaters.

Hi Jeff, what about an AP - I have an emtrak 954 and a tablet that has navionics - I want to use my phones as an hotspot and use an access point to connect all 3, how can I do that?

Hello, I've recently come across this very useful video. My husband and I are RV travelers, and find ourselves in so-called "dead zones" from time-to-time. No cell data, no wifi. I supect boaters may find themselves in the same situaltion (?). Since I am a remote worker, do you have any suggestions? I'm probably a future Starlink user, but not until it's available NA wide, and the bugs are worked out. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

without cell service or wifi, sat is the only option. People are currently using starlink with success.

I was wondering whether high gain directional 4G antenna aimed at the nearest cell tower (when choosing the right antenna think about Gain, Polarization / the number of antennas for MIMO) would work on boats? I mean due to the waves the boat is always moving (even on anchor it moves a bit) given the narrow aperture of the high gain antennas, would you often loose connection ?
@PacificYachtSystems

Good one, never seen that done before. Challenge is most boats are constantly moving both underway and at anchor.

@@PacificYachtSystems yes, on the sea that could be a problem. However your mobile rarely drops signal when moving with a car at high speed..... after beamforming the signal should be steady. Sector antennas (basically they are dipole with a reflector so they direct the signal with approx 150-180 degrees aperture. Also, patch antenna patterns are similar.) might be a good solution. In the marinas internet shouldn't be a problem. The business owner should install AP-s in a mesh topology, the physical infrastructure have to support the bandwidth requirements, band steering on the WLC should do the trick to reserve ample bandwidth and good connection to everyone. I wanted to design these thing so many times but never had the chance.....

Jeff, can I use one of the new lithium generators to power my boats air conditioner on the hook? I have a 300 Sundancer

Hi John, doubt it as air conditioners draw huge amount of power. You'd need a massive Lithium battery bank and also a very large inverter.
