It is intended for installations where the standard onboard WiFi signal is insufficient to reach the router or access point, such as in marine, vehicle or remote off-grid sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBased on the Netgear AC1200 chipset, providing dual-band 802.11ac WiFi at up to 1200 Mbps combined throughput.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLong-range USB WiFi adapter designed to improve wireless signal reach compared to the built-in GX WiFi antenna.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with Victron GX devices including the Cerbo GX, Color Control GX and other GX-series products that support USB WiFi adapters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug-and-play USB connection: no additional drivers or configuration software required on supported GX firmware versions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight at 118 g, suitable for space-constrained installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnables remote monitoring and system management via VRM Portal where a strong wired Ethernet connection is not practical.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVictron GX devices include onboard WiFi, but in practice the signal range can be limited by enclosure placement, bulkheads, or distance from the access point. This adapter plugs into a spare USB port on the GX device and replaces or supplements the built-in wireless connection with a higher-gain antenna, improving the likelihood of maintaining a stable link to the local network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe AC1200 designation refers to dual-band operation across 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, with a combined theoretical throughput of 1200 Mbps. For GX monitoring purposes the bandwidth requirement is modest, so the primary benefit here is range and signal reliability rather than raw speed. The adapter is recognised automatically by current Victron Venus OS firmware, which simplifies deployment on site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnce connected to the local network, the GX device can push data to the Victron VRM Portal for remote monitoring, firmware updates and system configuration. This is particularly useful on sites where running an Ethernet cable to the GX device is impractical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: BPP900200400\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 606449103328\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWiFi standard: 802.11ac (AC1200 dual-band)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConnection: USB\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.118 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine installations where the GX device is mounted below deck or in an enclosed panel, away from the router or access point.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVehicle and motorhome systems where WiFi signal penetration through metalwork reduces the range of the built-in antenna.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid cabins and remote sites where the router is located at a distance from the battery or inverter enclosure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAny GX installation where a stable WiFi connection to VRM is required but Ethernet cabling is not feasible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 x Netgear AC1200 USB WiFi adapter (GX long-range module)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlug the adapter into a free USB port on a compatible Victron GX device running a current version of Venus OS.
