I bought a
USB WIRELESS LONG RANGE adapter w/ 2 EXTERNAL ANTENNAS

from www.rokland.com . It works with PC. MAC or Linux. It only costs me 42.97 plus $7 shipping to Canada. BTW they are on sale right now for $38.67.

I got to try it last week when we were sailing from Toronto to Kingston. As we were sailing past Cobourg 1/2 mile out I was able to get Cobourg marina's wireless signal quite well. I also notice when I use it at my marina, my VPN always works where before the internal wireless worked only occassionally.
