T&T: Wifi amplifier

[Greg Bradley]

This isn't really an apples-to-apples comparison, but I thought I'd
throw out that my experience with the Ruckus MetroFlex has been great. 
When the laptop cannot find a wifi connection or has a lousy
connection, I'll plug in the MetroFlex and have a great connection. 
This is without going to any special trouble of finding a site high up
on the boat or anything.  I use it from the comfort of the salon.

I've only had one problem with it and it was an IP configuration
problem.  It defaults itself to 192.168.1.1 which happens to be what
most wifi access points default themselves to as well, so if that
happens you'll need to reconfigure the IP address of the MetroFlex. 
Not hard to do, but very confusing to debug.
