Will,
Either a "Bullet"-based system (what I've been using for years) or "Groove"-based system (newer and better!), will
work well for you...
This set-up will cost you about $250, all-in, professionally packaged/tested, and ready for you to install it and "plug 'n play"....
I agree with steamgoat....IslandtimePC is the guy to buy from!!
Marine WiFi Systems
Although it is rare that I need to use an access point father away than a mile or so, I have used a few that were 3 miles away, with perfect
reliability for days and days...(my system is just about 9' off the
water...)
But, some of the best reasons to buy a system from Bob Stewart of IslandtimePC, is that he KNOWS what he is doing and will give you plenty of free support should you be technically-challenged or have a rare problem....but also 'cause he is a fellow sailor/cruiser!!!
(yes, you can save almost $100, if you piece things together yourself, by
buying cheap on-line, etc....but you'll have no support and you may end up having troubles getting it to work well...)

Anyway looking at the Rogue Wave device or the Wirie ap+. Any one use the Wirie. Looks like it would be pretty easy to set up just need a power supply.

Don't bother with the Wirie or Roguewave...they're okay, but IslandtimePC's system is a bit better, and less expensive...
I've been using one for years, and am a happy customer!!
Just my 2 cents, based on my experience....I hope this helps...
Fair winds...
