Linksys® E2000 Wireless-N Router Configuration Guide
1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Maretron preconfigured Linksys® E2000 Wireless-N Router (from
here on referred to as WiFi/Router). The WiFi/Router is used to interconnect one or more wired
or wireless devices running Maretron’s N2KView
a device running Maretron’s N2KServer® (i.e., N2KServer® runs on Maretron’s Internet
Protocol Gateway (IPG100) or a PC connected to an NMEA 2000® network via Maretron’s
USB gateway (USB100)). Figure 1 shows a typical configuration where multiple devices
running Maretron’s N2KView® software (e.g., laptop computer, desktop computer, smart
phone, tablet, Maretron DSM800 display, or Maretron MBB100 black box) are connected back
to an NMEA 2000
Gateway (IPG100).

Although the WiFi/Router is mostly pre-configured by Maretron, there are a few steps that must
be performed to establish the connection between Maretron’s N2KView® vessel monitoring
and control software (client) and Maretron’s N2KServer® (server). If you are installing a system
similar to Figure 1 where the N2KServer® is running on the IPG100, then you should read
paragraphs 2, 2.1 and 2.2 (skip paragraph 2.3). If you are installing a system where
N2KServer is running on a PC then you should read paragraphs 2, 2.1 and 2.3 (skip paragraph
2.2).

2 Configuring the WiFi/Router
The settings in the WiFi/Router are changed using a web browser such as Internet Explorer,
Safari, or Mozilla Firefox.
2.1 Connecting to the WiFi/Router
Connect the WiFi/Router to your PC using the blue Ethernet cable supplied in the box. Use the
supplied AC adapter to power the WiFi/Router.
Open your Internet browser and type 192.168.1.1 in the address field, and then press Enter. If
you connect successfully to the router, the browser will display a screen requesting a
username and password.
For Mozilla Firefox, this would look like:
and for Internet Explorer the corresponding screens would be:

From now on, we will just show the screens from Firefox – the screens from other browsers will
be very similar.
Leave the User name blank, and enter the default Password, which is admin and press the
OK button.
You may see the following message:
Cisco connect is a utility that comes with the router. It generalizes the setup procedures, but
we will not be using it to configure the WiFi/Router, so press the OK button to remove the
message.
