My brother lives on a wide boat and has bought a dongle as there is no physical connection to the internet. The problem is there is very little to no reception on the boat, in order to get a reception he has to tie the dongle halfway up the aerial on top of the boat, then run wires down and into the boat. what he wants is to permanently fix the dongle to the aerial (secure & watertight) connect the dongle to a wireless router. which would leave him free to use the laptop in any room on the boat. I have looked about and can’t find a lead which fits the dongle (a small USB) into either an RJ45 or RJ11. At present he has a BT wireless so it would need to be an RJ11, but thats easy changed with a different router.
Does anyone know of a way round this problem?
I have asked him to contact the people he got his dongle from (dont know the outcome of that yet).
