Boat wifi router

[KompetentKrew]

Thanks. I think this is the link you mean GL.iNet AR750 travel router, a low-cost boat router option - Panbo and this is the router they review GL-AR750S / Slate the " GL-AR750S ..iNet Slate"

It supports USB tethering and USB 4G dongles etc. The page on Ali Express has more technical details: Link

I have the GL.iNet GL-AR750 (not the Slate, but very similar) and wouldn't recommend it - it's rubbish.

It seems extremely memory constrained - I bought it partly so that I could run openwrt packages on it, but I can't fit more than the minimum. I am able to run aria2c, to download to a 250GB microSD card installed in the router, but it ran out of space before I could even install the AriaNG UI.

Save your money people ... this which accepts NMEA and Seatalk ...

NMEA2WIFI - NMEA 0183 TO WIFI MULTIPLEXER WITH SEATALK INPUT SUPPORT | eBay

All for the princely sum of just over 40 quid .....

In British English that'd be a 'rowter' not a 'rooter'

No.
It might be how it sounds but, unlike the Americans, we don't go for phonetic spellings!

Perhaps I've spent too long in the US at various times then. In speech I differentiate between a tool used for working with wood and one used for directing packets of data as outlined above

Darn the medium of the forum. Now I'm unclear as to whether Graham_Wright is mistaking the the British English pronunciation of the data packet directing thingy or arguing that for a text-based gag it's only necessary for the two words to be homographs rather than homonyms.

Would somebody please re-write this thread in Chinese for me ? It would be easier to understand!

But RobbieW's point was that whilst the woodworking tool is a 'rowter', the thing we were discussing, despite being a homograph, is a 'rooter' in British english (but a 'rowter' in american english). A valid counter of course is that the joke works because it's written rather than spoken.

我认为这不会很快发生

USA / Microsoft have a lot to answer for in destroying the English language.

As far as I am aware .... ROUTER is both the wood cutting tool and said rOUter ... and a WiFi signal unit said rOOter ...

 

[Graham_Wright]

Yes.
