Yes, that's the beauty of using the NS2—you don't have to muck with the WIFI settings on your laptop, since it uses the ETHERNET card. Just disable the WiFi card when you're on the boat, and when you go to the internet cafe, just re-enable the WiFi card.

After reading your directions here, which I think I can implement ok, I wondering if I will need to reconfigure my computer next time I DONT want to use this device, say when I take the computer to a local cafe with readily available wifi. Will the laptop's separate built in wifi receiver and the ethernet plug used for this device work independently without switching all my settings back and forth? (Sorry, this may be obvious but theres a lot to learn about this stuff) |

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
