I would like to reinforce the idea that the line loss between the antenna 
and the wifi bridge is a big deal.  I was able to use a 2 foot cable 
between the Engenius bridge and the antenna. Then I use a Linksys access 
point to send this signal to the notebooks on the boat.

Using a high end antenna will not overcome the loss from a 6 foot cable.

My setup works great and you can connect mutable computers to this network.
