I have an MFD12 & a DRS4 & a laptop running MaxSea TZ Explorer, all connected to an off-the-shelf wireless modem/router with ethernet cables at my lower helm. I disconnect the laptop from the ethernet cable when I take it to my flybridge, where it wirelessly remains connected to my MFD12.
I am now planning to utilize the WAN port on the modem/router to connect a boosted wifi antenna (Rogue Wave) to pick up shore/marina access points & so provide the laptop...& any other wireless device on board...with internet access.
I understand that the NN3D network must not be 'polluted' with I/net so I want to understand the best way to achieve the required separation. If I no longer connect the laptop via ethernet to the modem/router but instead, connect only wirelessly at the lower helm (as I do now when at the flybridge helm), will this achieve what is needed to give me I/net connection to the laptop while keeping it connected to the MFD12?
thanks & regards
