Internet on the boat consists of 3 core pieces -

1. Mikrotik Groove 52ac mounted on the Mast to connect to Marina Wifi or Public Wifi Hotsposts
2. Netgear LB1120 LTE Modem that kicks in when Groove doesn't have any internet
3. Amplifi Router that all the devices in the boat connect to

This is all connected together so provides a seamless experience. You can also disable the cellular data to not come on automatically if you are concerned about data limits.

We easily pickup wifi hotspots over .5 mile away at anchorages and can stream HD TV.
