No rush Bill. It's annoying but it works the way it is.
Just would like the camera to stay up and running for than a day or 2.
Use the Ubiquiti NanoStation5 for your internal WLAN or access point, NS5- The Ultimate 5GHz CPE for the Global WISP Community Featuring Adaptive Antenna Polarity (AAP) Technology Integrated 14 dB panel, 250 mW radio, POE
The device designed to advance the Global Wireless ISP industry to the next level. Featuring a compact indoor/outdoor design and an interface so intuitive even the most technically challenged can instantly become experts. But, don't be fooled; it is as powerful as it is simple.
Nanostation packs some phenomenal performance with a revolutionary design combining a hi-gain 4 antenna system, advanced radio architecture, and highly researched and developed firmware technology allowing throughput, stability, and capacity performance rivaling even the highest-end WiMax networks.
Use this switch the Part: TS-5-POE to get rid of all the POE's and cables connecting the POE's.
Cost effective 5-port Gigabit switch with 24V PoE support for each port. It is ideal for powering Ubiquiti airMAX, UniFi, and airVision devices.
To connect your PoE devices, simply enable PoE in the easy-to-use TOUGHSwitch Configuration Interface.
Each port can be individually configured to provide PoE, so both PoE and non-PoE devices can be connected.
Finally this switch can directly power your ROGUE as well as the cameras none will need POE's.
Also you won't be providing the ROGUE with broadband thermal and co channel RF noise decreasing it's range by using the 5GHz Nano station as your boats re-broadcast access point aka "WLAN". Wire any cameras directly into the switch and turn off the WiFi radio these provide additional points of noise basically ruining any range you might have had between the ROGUE and a distant shore based 2.4GHz 801.11B, G & N access point.
I hope this helps simplify the concept of using only (1) 2.4GHz radio on the boat so it can hear and communicate with the shore based access point and not be buried in the noise by trying to run numerous 2.4GHz devices all within 50 feet of your boat's Bridge unit (the ROGUE). The shore based Access Point is how far away in comparison to the equipment contained in your vessel? So in closing why would anyone expect to get performance from the ROGUE or a similar device to a shore based public or private access point with devices operating on or near the same frequency?
