Yachtspot connects wirelessly to marina or near shore wifi hotspots using
802.11 b/g and shares that connection between all of the Yacht's onboard laptops, desktops, servers, PDA's, VOIP phones, and any other device that can use an Internet connection.
Yachtspot is similar in functionality to the Broadband router you use at the office or at home. The internal interface is Ethernet which can be shared using a switch or a wireless access point. The external interface is a wireless client which connects to wifi hotspots.
Yachtspot provides security to the onboard network. It is not a bridge [like a wireless access point] which shares it's IP range with the entire marina, but a router which uses 'Network address translation' [NAT]. The onboard network on the Yacht will be separated and firewalled from the marina's network and have it's own IP range.
Logging on to a hotspot has been designed to be as simple as possible. To logon just open a web browser, click to scan, then select a hotspot and connect.

To prevent tampering and present a less cluttered interface, settings that are only required during initial configuration are hidden and locked behind an additional administrators password.
