Hi.
New instruments on board.
B&G complete re-build. ZEUSS3, Halo,N2K Instruments.

So now it’s Ethernet from the Radar - N2K, etc etc.

Anyone care to share a simple set up -

12 Volt Ethernet Switch ?
12 Volt Router with SIM ?
Antenna required for router (mast currently down so can fit easily)

(I’m currently using a simple MiFi and Tablet with Navionics - fed NMEA 0183 info)

I’d like to be able to get to a usable Boat WiFi - with mobile Data from my SIM - useable also by the ZeusS3 MFD for updates etc.

I keep reading previous posts and they all end up getting too complicated. - my fault not anyone else’s.

I am familiar with setting up and configuring Routers and Home WiFi etc.

Thanks. Please be gentle.

I have a Teltonika RUTX11, although not currently using it until I've converted my starlink to 12v.

Main features for me were that it's 12v, I can use it as my starlink router and if that drops out I can insert a 4g sim or I can tether it to my phone's 4g. Apparently you can also route marina wifi through it but I haven't tried that.
