(Fig. 3). The default WiFi network name (SSID) is we BBoat XXXX (where XXXX is
a unique string for each we BBoat® Link) and it’s not password protected.

STEP 8
In “Setup Wizard”, the Autoswitch option is disabled by default. Enable
“Autoswitch” function to switch automatically from WiFi to 4G/3G if the
external WiFi Hotspot signal (i.e. marina WiFi) is lost. While using the 4G/3G

again, weBBoat® Link will switch the connection back from 4G/3G to WiFi
automatically. To enable this option, tap “Enable” button (Fig. 8). Tap WiFi

password is lost, you must restore the device to the default factory settings
using the Reset button placed in the back of the weBBoat® Link (Fig 16). To
