2. Before you start  

The NeXuX Connect is configured and controlled via its built-in web interface. In order to access this, you will need a  

wireless device such as a PC/Mac, Tablet or Smart Phone running a modern web browser such as Chrome, Safari, Edge  

or Firefox. No special drivers or software are required to make the NeXuX Connect work.  

Do not plug in the NeXuX Connect to the Ethernet port of your computer whilst the NeXuX Connect is  

powered up and always ensure that the NeXuX Connect antennas are connected before powering up the  

NeXuX Connect.

3. Installation  

The NeXuX Connect is designed to be mounted below deck. When deciding on the best location, a central location will give  

best Wi-Fi reception in all areas of the boat. You should also consider the 7m coax cable length of the external 4G Combo  

Antenna, which should not be extended. It is better to locate the NeXuX Connect unit within the 7m limit of the supplied 4G  

antenna cables, and then use a wireless repeater if Wi-Fi reception is poor in some areas of the vessel.  

The power cable can be easily extended, as can the LAN/WAN Ethernet cables.  

The default settings of the NeXuX Connect have been chosen for optimum performance and we do not  

recommend users make any changes to them, except to change the default wireless network name (SSID)  

and wireless password.

3.1  

Mounting the NeXuX Connect  

The NeXuX Connect should be mounted in position using M4 screws or other fixings appropriate to the mounting location.  

It can be mounted in any orientation, as the Wi-Fi antennas can be rotated and bent for best reception, although we  

recommend mounting the NeXuX Connect vertically with the antennas pointing upwards, to avoid stress on the cables  

and to ensure any moisture/condensation falls away from the connectors.  

On the next page (Fig.1) is a dimensioned drawing of the NeXuX Connect. When rotating the supplied Wi-Fi antennas,  

always rotate them clockwise to avoid loosening them. Make sure you allow suitable space around the top and bottom of  

the unit, to comfortably route the cables (avoiding tight bends) and to secure them so that the weight of the cables is not  

just being taken by the cable connectors.
