1 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Maretron preconfigured Linksys\textsuperscript{®} E2000 Wireless-N Router (from here on referred to as WiFi/Router). The WiFi/Router is used to interconnect one or more wired or wireless devices running Maretron's N2KView\textsuperscript{®} vessel monitoring and control software with a device running Maretron's N2KServer\textsuperscript{®} (i.e., N2KServer\textsuperscript{®} runs on Maretron's Internet Protocol Gateway (IPG100) or a PC connected to an NMEA 2000\textsuperscript{®} network via Maretron's USB gateway (USB100)). Figure 1 shows a typical configuration where multiple devices running Maretron's N2KView\textsuperscript{®} software (e.g., laptop computer, desktop computer, smart phone, tablet, Maretron DSM800 display, or Maretron MBB100 black box) are connected back to an NMEA 2000\textsuperscript{®} network through the WiFi/Router and the Maretron Internet Protocol Gateway (IPG100).

Figure 1 - Typical WiFi/Router Connection

Although the WiFi/Router is mostly pre-configured by Maretron, there are a few steps that must be performed to establish the connection between Maretron's N2KView $ ^{\circledR} $ vessel monitoring and control software (client) and Maretron's N2KServer $ ^{\circledR} $ (server). If you are installing a system similar to Figure 1 where the N2KServer $ ^{\circledR} $ is running on the IPG100, then you should read paragraphs 2, 2.1 and 2.2 (skip paragraph 2.3). If you are installing a system where N2KServer is running on a PC then you should read paragraphs 2, 2.1 and 2.3 (skip paragraph 2.2).

2 Configuring the WiFi/Router

The settings in the WiFi/Router are changed using a web browser such as Internet Explorer, Safari, or Mozilla Firefox.

2.1 Connecting to the WiFi/Router

Connect the WiFi/Router to your PC using the blue Ethernet cable supplied in the box. Use the supplied AC adapter to power the WiFi/Router.

Open your Internet browser and type 192.168.1.1 in the address field, and then press Enter. If you connect successfully to the router, the browser will display a screen requesting a username and password.

For Mozilla Firefox, this would look like:

Basic Setup - Mozilla Firefox File Edit View History Bookmarks Tools Help 192.168.1.1 Authentication Required A username and password are being requested by http://192.168.1.1. The site says: "Linksys E2000" User Name: Password: OK Cancel

and for Internet Explorer the corresponding screens would be:
