Buying
- 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.

Routers
- The Quick Start Guide provided with each unit will walk you through the installation and setup step by step.
- If it is a “50” product with Cellular – there should be a SIM Information sheet in the box.
- There is a 116-page manual built into the router products. The product will operate by default out-of-the-box with the default configuration, or you can use advanced features to do more configuration, if necessary.

There are five ports on our routers.
Port #1 – Blue Port – Main LAN port.
Port #2 – Yellow Port – Wave WiFi WAN port (Your WiFi Receiver goes here.)
Port #3 – Yellow Port – Cellular WAN port (Can be any WAN source.)
Port #4 – Yellow Port – VSAT WAN port (Can be any WAN source.)
Port #5 – Yellow Port – Guest LAN port.
On the UI, the ports look like the physical router. Port #2 Wave WiFi is where your Wave WiFi Receiver will be. It should show a blue plug indicating the receiver is detected and should have a “Manage” link that you can click on to access the UI of the receiver product. You click on a port, e.g., Wave WiFi, to switch to it in Manual mode. There is an Automatic (Fail-over) as well. You would need to set the Settings > Network Settings > (pick a WAN port) > “Auto Priority #”.
There is a 100 page + User Manual built into the routers. There is context-sensitive help for every page via a “?” or Book icon to the right of the page title and clickable “?” help with the fields you need to modify.
