Hi All, has anyone any experience of this WiFi router from vYacht.

It looks like a small Swedish company, quite possibly a one man band - maybe even a long-lost cousin of Angus McDoon.

I know there are other WiFi routers out there, but this one appeals because it will take Seatalk input.

I took a punt and bought one. Only €112 (so less than £90). It arrived today - looks well made.

It'll be January before I get a chance to install it and try it out. I plan to integrate it to a Seatalk ng bus, but as it has an additional NMEA 0183 input, I'll use that to get DSE and DSC sentences from the VHF.

It has an additional NMEA 0183 output which might come in useful for something in the future.

Looks interesting please review when you've fitted it and had a play.
