Re 2. Almost regardless of what you use, such system has to be two-part: one connecting to the far away network and one providing a local connection for your devices.
This will be a bridge or a router (better). Most likely, a single device comprising both radios and the "network stuff" (bridge or router) with an external antenna (at the top of the mast). A word of caution: connecting to some far-away wireless networks is frought with problems (risks). You never know to whom you are connecting and either you steal from some poorly protected personal network, or you connect to a public Wi-Fi. Either way, you are an easy target. A robust network security solution on your end is highly recommended (if not a must).

Can anyone point me in the direction of a product that would help with picking up wifi while on the hook? Is it a 2 part system? One to receive the signal at the top of mast connecting to another, in the boat, that transmits? Danny
