Ok Here is a question for the techie club members. Has anyone tried a Wi-Fi range extender such as the "Wi-Fi Robin". Our dilemma is that our Marina offers Wi-Fi however once we get below deck the signal becomes spotty. Also we would like to use our apple TV, and iPhone for Netflix, slingbox etc. when we stay overnight at the marina. In order for all of this to work all the devices need to communicate with each other. Since its not a closed network we are unable to do so. From what I've read the Wi-Fi Robin should allow for this and the Wi-Fi vendor should allow it if we provide them the units mac address. Alternatively we could sign up for cable service at the marina but with todays cost for cable and internet I can't justify paying for this service twice. Is anyone familiar with this product or others like it?
