12. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Install WIFI Extender in a dry indoor space that will meet Operang environment range specicaons (chapter 9.6 on page 7). Follow the installaon procedure as specied in this chapter.
WARNING: EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY RADIATION!
63 CM MINIMUM DISTANCE HAS TO BE MAINTAINED BETWEEN WIFI EXTENDER AND THE OCCUPATIONAL USER AND 142 CM TO GENERAL PUBLIC.
WIFI Extender is very powerful WIFI access point so you should not install to many units on a vessel.
As a general rule for GRP (Glass Reinforced Plasc) build vessels you can use following rule:
20-30 m vessel: 1-3 WIFI Extenders
30-40 m vessel: 3-5 WIFI Extender
40+ m vessel: 5+ WIFI Extenders
Number of WIFI Extenders also depends on the vessel type, deck and cabin quanty etc. The above given numbers are for motor yachts. For steel, aluminium or carbon build vessel you will
probably need larger number of WIFI Extenders but exact number is very hard to calculate in advance.
Always try to install WIFI Extenders in the locaons with minimum quanty of metal parts or cables following rules in the following chapters.
12.1. How to use WIFI Extender
WIFI Extender is not just a simple WIFI access point. It can be used as a backbone for complete network infrastructure installaon.
Each Ethernet (LAN) port on WIFI Extender can be programmed to become part of Vessel Network of your choice.
For example, if you are connecng mulple WIFI Extenders to Yacht Router Standard you will have three Vessel Networks (e.g. Owner, Guest, Crew) that will be spread around your vessel
through all WIFI Extenders. Each Vessel Network has WIFI and a cable (LAN) component. It means, for example, that you can connect your laptop computer to Vessel Network 1 (Owner
network) via WIFI or via LAN cable plugged into Vessel Network 1 port on Yacht Router. But you can also use any LAN port on any WIFI Extender to connect to Vessel Network 1. All you have
to do is to congure LAN port on WIFI Extender to become part of Vessel Network 1. Described feature can be very useful when you want to connect, for example, LAN socket in owner’s
cabin to Vessel Network 1 (Owner network).
To recongure ports on WIFI Extender you will have to contact Locomarine Support or your local dealer.
Each WIFI Extender will transmit all Vessel Networks.
For example, if you connect mulple WIFI Extenders to Yacht Router Standard, each WIFI Extender will transmit three Vessel Networks (e.g. Owner, Guest, Crew). For end-user it means that
he will have uninterrupted connecon all around the vessel no maer which Vessel Network he is connected to.

12.2. WIFI Extender compatibility with different Yacht Router models
WIFI Extender can be connect to all Yacht Router models except Yacht Router Micro.
IMPORTANT: You cannot connect WIFI Extender to Yacht Router Micro.
To Yacht Router Mini you can connect only one WIFI Extender.
To Yacht Router Standard and Yacht Router Pro you can connect mulple WIFI Extenders. The maximum number of connected WIFI Extenders depends on a way of powering. If you plan to
power it directly from Yacht Router Standard or Yacht Router Pro using Ethernet cable (PoE) the you can connect:
- up to 10 WIFI Extenders to Yacht Route Standard
- up to 10 WIFI Extenders to Yacht Router Pro
Calculaon is based on using CAT6 Ethernet cable.
