Re: Wifi Range Extenders 2017

Re: Cell phone

Were you able to use the phone as a hotspot? Every time I tried it using an unlocked Verizon phone and a different SIM, it would say checking for service authorization and fail.

I use my dinghy all the time. It doesn't have bottom paint on it, and after 45 days, there would be significant growth of weeds and maybe some small barnacles.
