Frequently Asked Questions

• Yes, you can connect our WiFi products to a Wireless Router.
• It needs to have a WAN/Internet (Ethernet) port to accept the product connection. Network settings are provided automatically to the WiFi product it is plugged into.
• How you provide DC power to a router is important to consider. Some boats (and vehicles, e.g., RV’s) need to connect direct 12vDC (no 120vAC to DC wall plug). You need to know what such a router requires and be very careful with voltage and polarity. Other companies’ router products are beyond the scope of our support.
• Wave WiFi makes router products – have a look at https://www.wavewifi.com/product-category/network-routers/.
• We also make Access Points – See our Yacht AP DB. https://www.wavewifi.com/product/yacht-ap-db/.

Rogue Series products do not have 802.11 AC capability. Our EC-HP-DB-AC and Tidal Wave – Professional Series have 802.11 AC with MU-MIMO (Multi-User / Multi-In Multi-Out) capability; this provides multiple connection streams for faster speeds – in the 5 GHz band. There is MIMO also in 2.4 GHz with 802.11 N functionality.
