YACHT ROUTER
13.1. Connecting Vessel-to-Shore WIFI Booster
WIFI Booster is an essential part of the Yacht Router. If WIFI Booster is not properly connected Yacht Router will not work correctly and you will receive a notification inside Control software.
Yacht Router is Power-over-Ehternet device (PoE) and it uses single network cable (CAT5, CAT6 or similar) for data and power. If you are using CAT6 cable you can install WIFI Booster up to
100 meters away from the Yacht Router.
IMPORTANT
: We strongly recommend usage of high-quality CAT6 cable. CAT5 cables are not recommended on installation where cable is longer than 10 meters.
You will receive one pre-terminated LAN cable in Yacht Router package. You can use it
to connect WIFI Booster.
If you want to use longer LAN cable without pre-terminated connectors you can easily
pull it through the rubber gasket on the bottom of WIFI Booster as it is shown on the
following photo.
