Just discovered this nifty device on the OCC Facebook site. It amplifies Wifi signals and feeds them into a router so that weak shore based stations an be accessed by all wifi device on board. Rogue Wave WiFi

This seems to be a very good solution. For several years I have used the Wave RV Marine produced by Radio Labs in California. My first unit failed after about 7 years and I replaced it by their new version last year. However, it was sent without the driver software and it proved very difficult to get the right drivers on a download. Radio Labs support service was non-existent - I was in Canada and as far as they were concerned in a foreign country.

My computer is a 64 bit version and it became apparent that they had no suitable driver and they just washed their hands of the whole problem. Surprising as their previous version had been supported for 64-bit.

The antenna is a good one (proved on Jenny 's computer) but I would not recommend anyone to buy it because of the non-existent support from the suppliers.
