3. Installation
Before starting installation select a suitable location for the iNavHub Router. The unit is designed for below deck mounting
on board a boat and is not water resistant. It should be installed in a cool, dry location and can be mounted on a vertical
or horizontal surface. When locating the unit you should consider:
Routing of power and network cables to the unit.
Provision of sufficient space around the unit for cable connections.
Routing of optional network connections to a WL510 Long Range Wi-Fi Adaptor (if necessary).
Maintaining the compass safe distance of 0.5m.
Best location for Wi-Fi reception i.e. not inside a metal enclosure
Installation Step 1
Siting of the iNavHub is critical for Wi-Fi reception. The unit features a 5dB antenna which should give up to 30m
range but it is important that the unit is sited in a central location within the boat to try and ensure that Wi-Fi
reception is good in all areas of the boat.
