I'm using a Ubiquiti Bullet with 9db antenna as a booster, connected to a basic home router, total cost about $200CAD, uses very little power on a small inverter. The Bullet requires you to choose a wireless network using their web interface, and a bit of other setup to work correctly. For now I just poke the antenna under our dodger and it works ok, but plan to put it in a PVC sealed pipe and mount on the solar arch eventually. Most of our local cruising is in remote areas, so it hasn't seen much use so far. I also have our radar (B&G Halo) connected to the router, which could allow me to view the radar using OpenCPN, although I haven't tried it yet.
