Title: Maximising your on-board Wi-Fi reception
#3
We just started using the iQuicky & are pleased with its performance also. At first I tested it inside a house without its own wi-fi to see if it could "see" any networks. I was ready to send it back when it showed no more networks than what the built-in Airport showed on my iBook. But when we got to the boat, which is anchored out in the harbor about 300 yards from shore, the iQuicky was able to see many networks, more than Airport by far. We do not know where the wi-fi network we use most often originates, but the iQuicky can grab it, hang onto it, & reconnect when it fades away due to movement of the boat in the wind. We were even able to see video call on Skype with its 7" antenna hanging in front of a closed portlight!

We've ordered a higher gain antenna & ten-foot cable in order to get the antenna higher & outside the boat. We are looking forward to even more ability to use wi-fi from the boat.
