LINK5
Compact 5 GHz Wireless Client
The Aigean LINK5 is a lightweight and compact wireless client that features significantly improved signal strength and quality versus traditional mobile devices (laptops, phones, tablets, etc.) when connecting to shore-based networks, such as those at marinas, hotels, homes, and businesses.
Designed primarily for smaller boats or RVs, the LINK Series offers great performance in a compact, weatherproof, and cost-effective package.
Both installation and operation are very simple:
Mount the LINK on a rail or stanchion with the included mount.
Run the Ethernet cable below deck and plug into your computer or existing network/router.
Supply power to the power over Ethernet injector.
Using the browser on your computer, phone, or tablet, visit the device's connection page to connect to the desired network.
Enjoy internet access!
The LINK also works seamlessly with our on board Marine Access Points.
Aigean Wi-Fi Clients are used as the primary connection interface for communicating with external wireless networks. Our wireless clients are designed to improve signal strength and quality when connecting to marina, hotel, home, and business networks.
User Interface
All of our wireless clients come standard with an extremely simple and elegant interface that makes it easy to connect and stay connected.
We understand that not every user is alike. While we have greatly simplified the networking capabilities and the interface that surrounds them, we do have advanced features for those who require them. Simply toggle the advanced setting, hit apply and have instant access to items like LAN, DHCP and Firewall settings. Yes, we have even included port forwarding and static lease support across your network.
The interface provides the user with granular control over all automatic behaviors so that your experience is finely tuned to your needs, unlike any other comparable products in the industry.
