Looking for the best solution for receiving wifi on our mac while at marina or at anchor. We've not had good luck getting reception (our Toshiba connects much better) and are looking for the most cost effective external set-up.
We saw posts on Panbo.com recommending a Linksys WET54G Bridge and purchased one from Amazon, but haven't been able to get it to work, or even to take commands using the web interface.
The other options we've run across are

http://www.macwireless.com/html/products...plete.html
I was hoping for something that would work with ethernet, possibly using POE so it would be fairly compact. Have friends using low loss coax to an antenna on the mast, but the cable takes up lots of room.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
We're currently in Rock Hall, MD after a three week siesta while our engine was being replaced. Plan to resume cruising this week.
Best regards,
Mark
