Configuring the Boat's Office & Connectivity

Ghost Rider's Office
One of my big priorities early in our move to the boat was to get the boat’s office properly configured – for personal / selfish reasons, but also for ongoing business obligations.  By Christmas Eve (really, no kidding) we got the basic moves and configs done for the network, laser printer/scanner and our NAS unit, where we store our backups, pictures, videos and music.

The quality of the Internet connection at the marina, however, was dismal.  So this past week we invested in and installed a MikroTik AP/Gig-E Router and a MikroTik Groove wireless booster….that helped considerably, was even able to conduct a few VoIP conference calls without any issues.  MikroTik makes good stuff, but it’s definitely not for the networking novice....making it all the more amazing that I got it working.
