Both the WAN port and the 3 x LAN Ports on our NeXuX are 10/100/1000Mbps ports and if connected to another 1000Mbps wired Ethernet device will pass data at 1000Mbps (1Gb). A wireless device on the network will not achieve anywhere near 1000Mbps and depending on whether you are using the 2.4GHz or 5GHz wireless network, will only achieve around 50Mbps to 150Mbps. Please note that wireless devices share the maximum bandwidth that the wireless technology supports, so more wireless devices = slower speeds. Other issues that can affect wired transmission speeds are; quality and condition of the network cabling – best to use Cat6Read More →

To change the IP address range used on the LAN network, go to NETWORK>LAN and then click the EDIT option. Set as shown below and click SAVE&APPLY. When the unit reboots, reconnect and access the web interface at the address you have set. In the example below, we have set the addres: 172.31.0.1 so when we reboot the unit, to access the web interface in our example, we need to write the address http://172.31.0.1 The DHCP range is set automatically, but if they want to check or change this, go back to NETWORK>LAN and click EDIT and the DHCP settings are in the Firewall SettingsRead More →

Applicable to 4GXtream units with NMEA 2000 interface   In order to direct the 4GXtream’s internal GPS data to it’s internal NMEA 2000 gateway, we must create a TCP network connection between the two devices.   In the 4GXtream’s web interface go to SERVICES>GPS>GENERAL and enable the settings as shown below and click SAVE & APPPLY… Now goto SERVICES>GPS>NMEA and setup the NMEA Forwarding as shown below…. Scroll further down the page and turn on the GPRMC sentence to be transmitted every 1 second and click SAVE & APPLY… Now goto SERVICES>SERIAL UTILITIES>OVER IP and Edit the iKonvert entry. Make sure that the iKonvert isRead More →

On the router, in Advanced mode go to SERVICES>MOBILE UTILITIES>SMS GATEWAY and check if there is a Username setup called NAVAlert…. If there is not, then create one and if there is, please set the Password to Alert123 in both boxes and click the SAVE&APPLY button.   Now open a new browser window and copy and paste the following link into the Address bar….   http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/sms_send?username=NAVAlert&password=Alert123&number=0033617812887&text=testmessage   You should see an OK page appear and after a few seconds receive an SMS on your mobile….ignore my IP address and Mobile number which are different to yours. This proves that the 4GXtream is configured OK forRead More →

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 →
