The 4G /5G Xtream has two SIM card slots which can be manually switched between, or you can use the automatic SIM switch feature to automatically switch between them. When the automatic SIM switching feature is enabled, the 4G/5G Xtream will monitor the current SIM network and if a certain condition occurs, it will switch to using the other SIM network as detailed below. The SIM Switch section provides you with the possibility to configure SIM switching rules, i.e., set up circumstances under which the device will perform a switch from using one SIM card to another. Refer to the figure and table below forRead More →

If you have a very low internet speed (less than 5m/sec) then several factors can interfere with your internet speed. When a device is connected to one of our wireless 4G routers, the router has to “route” the data, which takes time. The typical 2.4GHz speed of 50Mbps is shared across all devices on the wireless network: more devices, less speed It is not uncommon for other 2.4GHz wireless networks to be present on a modern boat; MFD, Charger/Inverter, AIS, etc. Each network, will potentially cause interference and slower speeds To get a better speed, the best solution is to connect your laptop via Ethernet.Read More →

The Bluetooth connector that is not currently used for any marine applications is a Reverse Polarity SMA connector and should be identical to the two Wi-Fi antenna connectors. The GPS antenna is a standard SMA connector and the supplied GPS antenna should plug straight in with no additional adaptors required. Below is an image showing the 4GXtream connectors, that you can use to check against your unit.Read More →

You will need a StarLink Ethernet Adaptor, like the one below: https://www.starlinkhardware.com/starlink-ethernet-adapter-setup-and-review/ Then using a normal network cable, you need to plug the Ethernet Adaptor in to the WAN socket of your 4GXtream and set the Wired WAN as the highest priority WAN connection. You can use the Failover feature of the 4GXtream to make it switch to Mobile (4G) when Starlink is not connected to the internet. Finally and most importantly, you need to Enable Bypass Mode in the Starlink. Open up the Starlink app Tap Settings Swipe down and tap Bypass Mode Slide the toggle to the right When prompted, confirm you wantRead More →

If you can, please connect to it using the default wireless password = 4GXtream Once you are wirelessly connected to the 4GXtream, then please open your web browser in a Private/Incognito window (important so that it does a fresh load of the 4GXtream web interface) and then try to go to http://192.168.1.1 or http://4gxtream Whichever, address you use, it is very important that you include the http:// as this tells your browser that you want to go to a specific address and not do aRead More →
