[CA] [CA11] Enhancing WiFi Reception

[gregorydjones]

I am currently using 2 linked Axiom 9 MFDs networked to other Raymarine products (i.e., auto-pilot, VHF radio, and AIS). Built-in WiFi reception is often insufficient to successfully download firmware updates. I plan to add an external WiFi extender antenna (e.g., Wave Rogue) and a modem/router to the boat for better reception and to support multiple devices (e.g., Roku TV, phones, tablets) and wondering if it could/should be integrated with the Axiom to improve reception there.

If so, would the Axiom internal wifi defer to the external signal or continue to operate?

I'm not a technical person and don't have a 6-year old in my home to splain it to me, so please keep responses simple.

Thanks.
