This season I have installed airMAX Bullet by Ubiquiti ... works well for me.

I've connected it to wifi access point installed on the boat so the multiple users and devices can connect to Internet via the Bullet. In a bind I use 3G/LTE MIFI but it is bound to one particular cell network while with the Bullet I was able to connect to hot spots on either side of the USA/CAN border.



I could locate and connect to some land based hotspot, be it a hotel or ISP infrastructure, or some careless Joe most of the time. There was only one instant that I could not find anything. Usually there is plenty, especially in urban and populated areas ... sometimes too many to sort out quickly.

The web interface to locate the hot spots and make a connection is a bit tedious ... made by engineers for engineers but functional once you get the hang of it.

In my real life experience, I was able to connect to the hotspots 7 miles away at decent speed. I was able to connect to my house network at nearly full speed from 3-4 miles with limited line of sight.

It's a keeper for me.
