card tray and slide the SIM card tray back into the slot. IMPORTANT:
Insert the SIM card when weBBoat® 4G Lite is off. We recommend removing the
SIM PIN code before inserting the SIM card into the weBBoat® SIM slot. Also,
the SIM PIN code can be inserted from the App (STEP 8). NOTE: Please note

installation.

iOS version. The screens for the Android will differ slightly.
STEP 5 Connect your mobile device (e.g. smartphone) to the weBBoat® 4G
Lite WiFi network (Fig. 3). The default WiFi network name (SSID) is
weBBoat_XXXX (where XXXX is a unique string for each weBBoat® 4G Lite) and
it’s not password protected. NOTE: It is advised after initial setup to
create a password (minimum 8 characters) to secure the weBBoat 4G Lite
network. (see STEP 12).
STEP 6 Open the weBBoat® 4G Lite App. Tap the “+” button in the top right
corner (Fig. 4). Tap the QR Code button. Scan the QR Code on the router and

if desired. Alternatively, you can connect the weBBoat® 4G Lite by tapping the
“+” button on the top (Fig. 4) and insert manually the Serial Number located
below the QR Code on the label (Fig. 5). NOTE: The QR code and the Serial

between the mobile device and weBBoat® 4G Lite will be lost. Please check the
connection between the devices and if needed reconnect before proceeding. To
skip the Setup Wizard, tap the “Skip” button (not recommended). IMPORTANT:
Tap the “Save” button in the “Setup Wizard” to save all configuration settings
(Fig. 10).
STEP 10 After tapping the “Save” button, the Control Panel will be shown
automatically. This section includes all information related to the signal,
the SIM card, and the APN in use (Fig. 12). If the Autoswitch function is not
enabled, enable it by tapping the “Autoswitch” button (Fig. 12).

4G Lite (SSID) and its password, tap the Menu button (Fig.13) and select
“Advanced settings”. Go to the “WiFi Configuration” section. Change the SSID
in the related field and select the encryption type. Type the password and tap
the Save button (Fig. 14). SUGGESTION: Choose WPA2- PSK encryption for
better security. NOTE: Do not use spaces or special characters in the name
of the Wi-Fi network (SSID) and password. After changing the name of the Wi-Fi
network (SSID) and the password, the weBBoat® 4G Lite will be rebooted
automatically. Close the weBBoat® 4G Lite App, reconnect your mobile device
(e.g. smartphone) to the new Wi-Fi network of the weBBoat® 4G Lite, and then
reopen the App.
STEP 13 To change the Administrator password, tap the Menu button (Fig.
13) and tap “Advanced settings”. In the “Administrator Password” section enter
the new administrator password in both fields and tap the Save button.
IMPORTANT: Keep the new password in a safe place and do not forget it. If
the administrator password is lost, you must restore the device to the default
factory settings using the Reset button placed on the back of the router (Fig
15). To restore the device, push and hold the Reset button for at least 5
seconds. The Reset button can be released when all 5 signal strength LEDs
(Fig. 16) are ON. When the weBBoat® 4G Lite reboots, it will reset all custom
changes to factory defaults. Close the weBBoat® 4G Lite App, reconnect your
mobile device (e.g. smartphone) to the Wi-Fi network of the weBBoat® 4G Lite,
and then reopen the App.
STEP 14 When firmware and APN list updates are available, they will
appear as an Upgrade Button in the “System Updates” menu (Fig. 17). Tap the
“Upgrade” button to perform the upgrade and wait for a few minutes.
IMPORTANT: When the Firmware upgrade is completed, weBBoat® 4G Lite will
reboot automatically. Close the weBBoat® 4G Lite App, reconnect your mobile
device (e.g. smartphone) to the Wi-Fi network of the weBBoat® 4G Lite, and
then reopen the App.
