Anyone created a wifi network on the boat and using their phone to get on the cellular netowrk?

Does it work well, what equipment are you using? Any other thoughts or ideas?

Thanks,

Couldn't you just use your phone as an access point for other devices to connect to for accessing wifi?

On several occasions we have used a cell phone to connect to the internet with up to 2 or 3 users. It has worked pretty well as long as we have decent cell phone signal strength I'm not sure what more of a WIFI system would be needed than a cell phone, Verizon jetpack, or other hotspot. Using your cell phone or other hotspot may go thru the time in your cell phone plan. In or near a marina or other hotspot location a WIFI booster (like the link in a previous post) may be helpful.
