What you're saying


2 weeks in the Grenadines

We took the BAD BOY Xtreme with us on a recent charter to the Grenadines in the Caribbean in Jan '10. Since we were only going a short time, we mounted it up as high as we could on the bimini frame and put a 12V plug on the cable.

Were we impressed. Worked great! Connected almost everywhere (except for Chatham Bay - not a hotspot to be found). Even connected 4.5nm (5 miles, 8 km) away while we were in the Tobago Cays all the way to Clifton on Union Island. BAD BOY rocks!

Sorry for the 'operator error' on my part that caused you to send this replacement even though my original unit was working flawlessly. It is now installed on my 42' sailcat and working great.

You guys are a delight to do business with and I'll be back any time I need something you sell! Your products are simply superb and your support is the best I know of. It is sooooo fantastic to get a real person on the phone that is technically capable and willing to help a novice like me work through my own mistakes so graciously. Thanks for what y'all do and I hope we're able to bring you a lot of customers when people see just how great this Bad Boy works!

My friend and neighbor here in San Diego, Dan, has strongly endorsed your products. I too am impressed.

Thanks so much! And thanks so much for your help with the Badboy. You've been great to assist with the issues we've had recently, and are always so responsive. The Badboy is working great now. We've not had any more issues since we spoke. I really appreciate your assistance.

Wow! Were we amazed. After finally accepting the idea of not needing any software loaded, everything just worked. Without even having accessed the BAD BOY, it had already found a hotspot and was already connected! Incredible!

Our antenna is picking up lots of wifi signals and often allows us onto an unsecure signal.

- David, Out cruising



We received our Bad Boy and installed it up the mast yesterday. We are receiving a good signal and it appears to be working well. I had internet last night! Thank you again for your assistance!

We purchased a Bad boy Xtreme/Unleashed system from your company while in Prince Rupert B.C. in late April of this year, We have been using it as we cruise down the BC coast with no problems.

I have attached some photos of the installation I did this Spring. Thanks again for a great product and phenomenal after sales support!

- John, Out cruising



You are wizards! I followed your instructions and a faulty power switch was indeed the problem. When installing the system, I used an unused switch on the electrical panel to supply the 12 volts. It indeed was arcing and now I have another switch in the line and the two units have been working properly. Thank you very much for your help!

It's been a little over a year since we installed your product and we're still thrilled. As I type this I'm connected to wifi from our boat s/v Toucan Dream in the harbor outside George Town, Bahamas. People are in awe of your system and we're glad to say we've helped sell quite a few to friends. One piece of advice I'd give is to include in your instructions details about connecting the unit to a router. I've been running it incorrectly for most of the last year by not configuring the router as a bridge. So when I'd power off and then turn on the router before the Bad Boy would cause it hang up and need to be unplugged from my router and then turned back on and then plugged into the router. I finally got time to peruse through your FAQ's and found I need to set the router to act as a bridge or plug it into a lan port. I did and Voila! Problem solved! Of course I'm sure I could have called and gotten this advice too from your superb support person but it really wasn't a big problem and would be very nice if you'd include "directions for dummies like me" on this with your instructions as more and more cruisers are setting it up with a router for multiple onboard devices such as iPads, smart phones, laptops.

Looks like you're expanding and we're glad we played a small role in getting a few friends to buy from you. Also, we hear great feed back from all that bought your product on our recommendation so please keep up the great work!

- Christon, George Town, Bahamas



Wanted to let you know I have got us sorted with our new equipment purchased from you. Thank you so much for all the help you have given us. Couldn't have done it without you.
