To future proof the antenna purchase, I am reading that people should ...

Here are a few points for rural wireless...

TRUE NORTH vs. MAGNETIC

If you don't know, maps use true north, and your compass uses magnetic.

Sorry for the confusion. I though I was clear.
They ADDED more of the B71 that they don't own so that extra portion could go away in the future.

Here is the article guts, from March:

Re: Wi-Fi for boat

Your quest needs more details to get help
Is this a permanent install?
How much data do you want?
Is ATT the strongest signal in every port?
You may want a setup that can handle two SIMs.

Re: Wi-Fi for boat

Captain,

Here is a bit more to chew on...

A router with dual SIM allows two active cell contracts as an attempt to avoid coverage holes.

The one pic of the speed test showed 174 down and 33 Mbps UP!
I am amazed that they can get so much upload performance.
Also curious about how snow and rain will sit inside the sat dish.
