“Advanced software designed to get you online quickly…”

YachtSpot is the ONLY professional wireless router for the marine market that encrypts your internet traffic! * (subject to annual subscription). Using open WiFi has always carried the risk that your Internet activities can be listened to. It’s a complex subject, but what is sure is that by routing your trac over a VPN those risks are eliminated. Yachtspot v5 with SafeSurf VPN ™ will fully encrypt all your traffic to our secure VPN servers.

Thanks to its new DNS Blaster™ feature, you can surf the net faster than ever before! DNS Blaster™ speeds up your Internet browsing by querying several DNS servers simultaneously and returning the first reply, resulting in requests for web pages going out much quicker, especially on slow and lossy networks.

YachtSpot v5 comes with a number of advanced features which are especially useful in very congested wireless environments.

To enable you to quickly identify the best performing hotspots, Yachtspot comes packed with information presented in an easy to understand format.

On the “Easy logon”, and the “Advanced logon” pages we have provided an embedded web application which provides periodic updates on the status of the wifi connection during the log on process. This information is automatically updated without page refresh.

“Under the hood”, the log on process has been written to make it very aggressive on lossy, highly contested wireless networks. This entirely automatic process requires no configuration, or user interaction.

Hotspots share frequency. The more contention on a particular frequency, the greater the likelihood the connection will be slower, and suffer from increased packet loss.
