Bigcat 1 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 We are looking for someone who can help us with internet, czone and other small navigation/screen issues on our boat (someone who can come onboard and sort out a number of problems that 2 years on have not been sorted by our own fault finding). Any recommendations? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bigcat 1 Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 Thanks all will speak with Island Time after Christmas.. (we’ve already had a couple of people look.. ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigal.nz 61 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 HMB Staff are pretty good. I dont know anything about czone but am pretty good with internet/networking - whats the issue? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigcat 1 Posted January 8, 2022 Author Share Posted January 8, 2022 The internet one is that we have a modem on board. Appears to have heaps of signal we can connect (devices say connected) but there is no internet/connection. Can shut down/restart modem some times it will reconnect. Other times not. Sometimes it works fine, then for no apparent reason - it won’t.. The connection problem is not isolated to one device, it can be phones, Apple TV, computer etc.. ..there is a booster up the mast...

bigal.nz 61 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I am not familiar with that unit - but my experience with other NetCom gear has not been great and there support was terrible. In boating units it would be very relatively cheap to buy : https://www.gowifi.co.nz/teltonika/rut360.html Teltonika is a great brand and the support from GoWireless is unparalleled. I guess not the answer you want - but it might be the easiest fix. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigal.nz 61 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Miktrotik is also quite good - I have installed a lot of both https://www.gowifi.co.nz/mikrotik/rb912r-2nd-ltm_r11e-lte.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
