  • On your laptop (Recommended) or mobile device disconnect from you existing Wifi connection.

  • Connect your laptop (Recommended) or mobile device to the DataHub Wi-Fi network. It will look like PW-Hub-XXXX in the list of available Wi-Fi networks on your device. Be sure to select "Connect Automatically" if this option is shown.

  • Then select the Network (SSID) by clicking the down arrow. This is the WiFi Network that has Internet that you are looking to connect to the DataHub.

  • Please check all the Networks are not on the same Channel. If muiltiple WiFi Networks are on the same Channel on you boat, there will be collisions on the network, and the connection will be unreliable. If this is the case, you will need to change the WiFi Channel of the device you are connecting to. Please consult the manual of the device you are connecting to, in order to change the channel.

  • Enter your WiFi password in the box WiFi Password text field. Please double check you have the correct password, by click on the * button to view the password.

  • Click the green Connect button.

  • Once connected the Status will change to Connected. Please be patient this can take up to 1 minute to connect. Any error messages such as incorrect passwords will be displayed, but not immediately.
