WIRELESS  BROADBAND  INTERNET CONNECTION

It is now possible to connect to the marina broadband internet service by means of a wireless connection.

A 'Belkin' wireless router has been installed in the marina office.

The range is likely to be very short - say to the clubhouse - and every pc to be connected will require wireless interface hardware and software.

Some modern computers have this facility 'built in' (integrated), others will require a plug-in adapter:
Laptop computers often have a 'slot' for a 'plug-in' card;
Others will require an adapter - usually to a USB port connection.

The maximum number of connections will be limited to 8 or 9, each will be given a security password, on a 'first come, first served' basis.

The cost of this service has yet to be determined - Claire Priestley has invested a considerable amount of money in the cost of the wireless router and the marina have invested in the necessary hardware upgrade (plus the cost of the business broadband service).

Any boater requiring a connection should contact:

Claire Priestley  (Narrowboat 'Rhexenor') in the first instance.
(narrowboat 'Rhexenor' is moored on the canal bank in front of the converted Acaster Workboat 'Prodesse').
