Reusing Wireless HotSpot.

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Greetings first post but long time The Dude user.

We have a boat docked in Long Beach, CA. There we have access to several WiFi Internet providers. We would like to be able to connect to one and then be able to use that connection for everyone on the boat instead of having to get seperate connections for each person while at the dock.

Would that be easily done and could you recommend what hardware you recommend to use in which we could use an outdoor enclosure with to do what we need?

You can select any RouterBOARD with 2 wireless cards (RB411AR/RB411UAHR or higher),
http://routerboard.com/
UAHR will give you opportunity to use 3G for backup.
Contact one of MikroTik distributor closer CA and ask them for the kits, they have in stock currently,

I appreciate your response. I would be interested in the 3G backup thank you for mentioning that as well.

What part numbers would I be looking for exactly?

Of course the…
RB411UAHR

and

Extra WiFi PCIE radio - part number?
What does it take to get the 3G working - part number(s)?
