Heh. "At speed" for me means 10 knots. 20km/h or thereabouts. That's
running downwind with a couple of knots of current.
I couldn't find any info about the bridge hardware. What sort of power
adapter does it have? It probably has a 240v plug pack that plugs into
a small round power connector on the back of the bridge unit itself.
Can you look at that and tell me what voltage output it is and whether
it's AC or DC?

My I-burst "bridge" gizmo is a few years old. There is more [current?]
information on the "modem" options including a USB "modem" here:
