Straighthrough cable (the cable with matching heads) should connect the PoE adapter to
the bridge.

Section 4 - INSTALLING A WIRELESS ROUTER WITH THE NETWORKED BOAT
Any standard wireless router should work with the bridge router. We standardize using the Linksys
products due to their universal availability. BroadbandXpress typically will ship a router with your
bridge to provide a complete package. In the event that your router was not preconfigured by BBX
ensure that wireless security is enabled.
Critical Warning:
It is paramount to secure your wireless router with wireless encryption. Failure to secure a
router will allow outsiders to access your bridge router and may disrupt your service.
Step 1: Plug the cross over ethernet cable from the Data In jack of the Power over Ethernet
injector to the Internet jack of the router as shown above.
Step 2: Connect to your wireless router via your wireless adapter of choice.
Step 3: Open a browser and you will connect to the selected wireless provider that you have set in
the bridge/router.
Step 4: To access the Bridge/router simply type 192.169.2.254 in your browser.
CONGRATULATIONS, YOUR NETWORKED-BOAT SYSTEM IS NOW
SET UP CORRECT TO WORK WITH THE BBX NETWORK.
