Hi folks. I am looking to cover the windows in our boat and would appreciate any advice. I originally wanted to make curtains for our 9 windows but trying to find poles for the top and bottom is proving difficult and also what type of material is best. Do you do them in a pencil pleat style or eyelet style? Do you do thermal or blackout? Then I came across a few forums whereas people swear by blinds. This got me thinking. Our windows are currently nude with no fixings. We are new to boating and I have no idea how you would secure them to the wall and stop them from hanging away from the window and wall. Should they be fixed in to the recess??? Sorry if this seems naïve but if you don't know, you don't know. Many thanks in advance

Thank you

I have just purchased the Zyxel NR5103E 5G WIFI 6 + Mesh Router 4.7GBPS. Can someone please advise on what 4x4 MIMO Antenna I will need and if I need to buy any cables or connectors? Was looking at this but really not sure if it has all cables & connectors as I am not good with this stuff. Thanks Poynting XPOL-1-5G V2 Outdoor 4G LTE/5G 3dBi 4x4 MIMO Cross-Polarised Omni-Directional Antenna w/ SMA-Male Connector

Sorry, wifi 6 (wireless connection???) was what I read about. I probably do not need 9Mbps upload speed as I think once it gets over 4 or 5Mbps it works fine. 9Mbps is what I have at the moment. And to be honest I dont think I need duel sim either. Can you let me know if mains adapter will work as the converter in a boat will change it to 12 volt? Sorry for my naivety, just new to all of this. I will have a look at your suggestion now. Thank you everyone for your time. Appreciate it

No it is definitely upload I need. I have been working remotely for years now but never on a boat with a mobile router. After more research I have now learned that I should be looking for one that supports 6G as spending hundreds of pounds I need to be sure it is an up to date model. Yikes. I am soooo confused. Can I get a router that is 12 volt and has built in antenna? I have been looking at the D-Link DWR-2101 but this is not mains powered.... IanD, I cannot find the ones you suggested online

Many thanks for getting back to me. For the 1st Year we will be in a marina with trips away when we can, but for the most part on the Grand Union. I need to achieve an upload speed of at least 9 Mbps. I am basically logging in to my office PC and the office system, so using a VPN to do this and uploading to see what my office PC see's, if that makes sense. Thanks IanD. This is very helpful.

Hello, I am new to the boating world and am looking to get a 12 volt router and sim (Arial if needed) to allow me to work from my boat. I need good upload speeds as I upload data from the office on to my laptop and plug the office phone in to the router to be connected to the office. I have found a post saying that these maybe the best for this but am looking for any advice as really confusing.
