HOW TO OPERATE:

1. Plug the ethernet cable provided into the base of the unit.

*For Rogue Wave seal the ethernet hole with the white rubber grommet provided*

2. Plug the other end of the ethernet cable into the POE (power over ethernet) injector.

3. Plug the power supply into the POE injector (Both lights should show solid green)

4. Plug the POE injector into the ethernet port of a laptop, computer or router.

*When plugging into a router it will be the “internet” port.*

When Using a Router:

1. Connect wirelessly to the router that the Rogue unit is physically connected

to via laptop, tablet or smartphone.

2. Open a browser and at the top URL bar type: 192.168.89.1

3. Once on the interface page of the unit, click on a network and type in a

password if needed.

4. The connection should read “Yes, Yes, Yes”.

When connecting directly via Laptop / Computer:

1. Turn o the wireless capability of the laptop (if needed).

2. Open a web browser and at the top URL bar type: 192.168.89.1

3. Once on the interface page of the unit, click on a network and

type in a password if needed.

4. The connection should read “Yes, Yes, Yes”.

***Wave WiFi suggests Initial setup be with a Laptop.***

NOTE: While the unit’s light-weight, compact, weather resistant design makes it the ideal portable Ethernet converter/Wireless Bridge for

temporary Internet access, prolonged exposure to the elements may cause premature deterioration of the internal circuitry and shorten the

life of the unit. The Unit’s Warranty Policy specically states that the warranty is void if the failure is attributable to misuse, mishandling,

improper installation, alteration (including removing or obliterating labels) and opening or removing external covers.

thread base.

(1st) Detach the base

and screw it onto a

plugging in the

Ethernet cable.

(2nd) Plug the

mount.

Screw on

base.

Be sure when mounting the Rogue on the water that it is

between 15-25ft.

Ensure that the cable run is no longer than 60ft. If you go

beyond 60ft the Rogue may not function.

The Rogue must be mounted vertically.

Do not mount next to Radar.

with subsequent scans, the bottom of the list may

change frequently due to the signal strength of

the weaker access points.

To connect to a HotSpot, click on the HotSpot

name (SSID). The Rogue will then attempt to

negotiate a connection with the remote HotSpot.

During this process the screen will show“connect-

ing”. Do not click on anything until this process is

completed. When the HotSpot is able to provide

an IP address to the EC unit, the red“NO”for the IP

address will change to a green“YES”.

Connecting to the Rogue Wave

Connect the Rogue’s POE adapter

to your computer’s Ethernet port. After several

seconds your computer should receive an IP

address from the Rogue (a Windows computer will

generally show the message icon“Connected” at

the botto m of the screen).

Open your browser and type:

IP address: 192.168.89.1 into the address bar

and press “enter”. The Network Scan page will then

open.

Scanning for HotSpot Networks

If necessary you can refresh the network list by

clicking the “Scan”button.

The list of wireless networks (HotSpots) is ordered

by signal strength: the strongest signals are

indicated by the color GREEN. It is likely that

If the HotSpot to which you are connected

has Internet access, then“YES” will appear on

the Internet line.

Rogue’s Settings

Clicking on the “Settings” tab opens the

above page.“Disabling EC Firewall” removes

your protection from access by other

network users. However, it may be necessary

to disable this feature to access some

HotSpots.

Clicking “reboot” disconnects the Rogue from

the current hotspot and also refreshes the

connection. You may have to reconnect after

a reboot if the hotspot is not a favorited

network.

Rogue Quick Start Guide

Is the cable run of the Rogue more than 60ft?

Are you using a coupler?

Are you using the 12v power adapter provided?

The rst step in troubleshooting should be to power cycle the unit.

Meaning to power it o and back on. This should last

30 secs and should be the Rogue as well as the router it is connected to.

Check the lights on the POE injector. They should show solid green. If

the POE lights are blinking call Wave-WiFi (954-928-1310).

If only the “DC” light is on then the Rogue is not receiving power. Check

all cable connections ensuring they are all snug and not loose or falling

out. (If the ethernet cable is sliding out of the Rogue unit then check that

the ethernet port tabs are not damaged).

Troubleshooting the Rogue

-How to log into splash pages / log in pages

1.) You would need to connect to the marina or grounds WiFi connection

directly not using the rogue and bring up the splash page/Login page.

2.) Fill out the splash page but DO NOT SUBMIT

3.) Open a second tab on the browser.

4.) Disconnect from the WiFi connection and connect to the Rogue unit.

5.) Through the Rogue interface click the WiFi source that you are trying

to connect to AT THE SAME TIME switch back to the splash page and

submit the login information.

This will make it so that the Rogue is submitting the log in information

and should allow you access onto the network. If not please call Wave

WiFi for further instructions.

Favoriting Hotspots

1.) Connect to the network that you want to favorite.

2.) Once connected click the yellow star

3.) To the right click “Add current network to favorites.

4.) Click the ”network scan” tab and you should see

the icon next to the network you favorited.

Mounting Methods and Antenna Installation Steps

*Mount not included*

BASE

1. The Rogue Wave Pro and the Rogue Reach have a 1” - 14 female thread base to mount onto a 1”-14 standard antenna mount

bracket(not included). To install these units (1st) detach the base and screw it onto the mount BEFORE plugging in the Cat 5e cable.

3. Thread the Cat5e cable through the mount, then the base and then into the ethernet port of the Rogue unit. This should be done BEFORE screwing

the body of the Rogue units back onto their base (see point “ 1”) and with the other end of the cable remaining loose at this time to avoid twisting.

2. The Ethernet port is on the bottom of all of the Rogue units.

4. The Rogue units vary in mounting methods. The Rogue Wave PRO and the Rogue Reach have a 1”- 14 thread female base, as shown in steps 1-3.

The Rogue Wave unit comes with a rail mount bracket, 10-32 ss screws, and ss nuts to ax onto a horizontal or vertical rail, or a pole.

6. Antenna Mounting Rogue Wave PRO or Rogue Reach- Once the unit is securely mounted, screw the antenna on with the female “N” on the

antenna facing downward onto the male“N” facing upward, without stressing the“N” connector of the male head. See point “6”below on the left.

5. Positioning- All of the Rogue Units should be mounted vertically with the tip of the 2 foot omni directional antenna pointing upward and the

Cat5e cable pointing downward. The tip of the antenna should be at least 1’away from any obstructions and ideally at least 3’ from electronics to

avoid any potential interferences.

7. Antenna Mounting Rogue Wave- Screw the 2’ omni directional antennas female N securely onto it’s N male mate of the Rogue Wave unit with

the rail mount bracket sandwiched in between. See point“7” below on the left.

8. Plug the other end of the CAT5E ethernet cable into the POE injector provided. The POE injector is passive and will deliver any voltage given. If

you are unsure what the POE injector is, please see “Accessories”on the rst page. Although the POE injector is passive make sure that you are only

powering 12v-1a to the Rogue units. Over powering your unit could damage the unit and void warranty.

9. Plug the power supply into the POE injector and validate that the “DC” light and the “Power” light are both showing on the injector. The “power”

light is indicating that the Rogue system is powered on, while the“DC” light is indicating the POE having power. Next plug the POE injector into

the ethernet port of a laptop or into your internal router’s “internet” or WAN port. The WAN port of the router in generally colored dierent than

the rest of ports. The Rogue system will use your wireless router or access point to broadcast its Wi-Fi signal.

(For further explanation on step #8 and step #9 below, please see the setup diagram on page 1)
