So my most recent project has me scratching my head for a solution... Perhaps someone ells has already accomplished this...
I'm in the process of updating my entertainment package. Id like to ultimately have Smart TV, Apple TV (sling box) Garmin products phones and tablets on a isolated wireless vessel network...
The Goal is to have a device that can pick up a provided Wifi signal from my house or at the marina we may be at. Then plum that internet signal into a wireless access point that I will connect all my devices to... This will allow all the devices to connect to each other. Blu charts to GPS Map...Phone to apple TV... Run spotify right off smart TV and control with phone... the list goes on. The reason this is so desirable is once this is set up i would never have to worry about connecting all these devices every-time to the new networks we use every time we travel... Instead I would just have to connect this one device... still don't even know if this "device" exists yet...
The only thing i have came up with is putting a small computer on the boat and utilizing Windows internet sharing... which will allow me to connect the computer to the interned then share it to a wireless access point that i can connect the devices to... not ideal but a solution none the less...
Has anyone else tried to do anything like this??? If so please let me know how and what products you used... Clearly I'm not interested in getting a satellite for internet lol to much dough...
