Guided Wi-Fi setup
Wi-Fi Setup
Use Atlantis Boater to connect a supported controller to Wi-Fi or update its saved network.
Prepare
Before you start
- Stand near the controller with Atlantis Boater open and signed in. Your phone needs internet for account setup and shared-lift access checks.
- Have a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network and password available. The controller must be able to reach the internet for remote access.
- Keep the lift stopped and make sure no one is near the boat or moving equipment.
- Enable Bluetooth and requested nearby-device permissions. Marina renters cannot change the controller’s Wi-Fi; contact marina staff for a network change.
Account connection help
Physical APP account connection reset
What this resets: the physical APP/config routine resets a lift’s provisioning/account connection, not your Atlantis login or password. It is separate from the main-controller factory reset that clears installation setup.
Before touching APP: this routine is for a personal X4.4 lift you own or are authorized to manage. Stop the lift, keep everyone clear, and use only the APP setup button that is safely accessible from outside the closed enclosure. APP is not an emergency stop. Do not open the cabinet or reach inside. If the button is not safely accessible, ask your installer or Atlantis Support.
Bluetooth setup lock: when the app says Bluetooth setup is locked, hold APP for about five seconds and release at one magenta blink and a short high chirp. The owner account connection and saved Wi-Fi stay unchanged. This clears Bluetooth setup lockout only; it is not an account reset.
Personal lift: to deliberately reset your own personal lift’s app/account connection, the controller must previously have received its personal-ownership information while online. With that prerequisite met, hold the accessible APP/config button continuously for 30 seconds. The five-second blink and ten-second reminder are not completion. If there is no reset confirmation, release the button and contact Support; do not keep holding or repeat the gesture. When the reset gesture is accepted, release the button and wait for the final app result; a solid magenta light lasting five seconds is a reset indication, not a five-second reset hold. The current ownership/account claim is removed, and saved Wi-Fi is forgotten after Atlantis Central acknowledges the reset. The lift controller settings and stopping configuration stay unchanged; this does not recalibrate the lift. After completion, the owner adds the lift to an account again in Atlantis Boater and supplies the desired Wi-Fi settings. Nearby Bluetooth control is unavailable until it is added again. Keep the lift stopped while setup is incomplete, and ask Support if completion or ownership is unclear.
Managed marina lift: an ordinary 30-second APP hold does not release a managed lift from the marina. Renters and shared users should contact marina staff. The separate managed-lift routine is for authorized staff only: the lift must be idle, its marina ownership information must be current, and the 60-second hold must be followed by release and a fresh press within 30 seconds. That first hold only arms confirmation; the final result requires Atlantis Central acknowledgment, and marina custody is retained. Use the staff guide or Support rather than treating it as the personal reset above.
Connection or warning: never use this reset to troubleshoot a connection or warning. An offline alert, weak Wi-Fi, movement fault, or unclear light does not justify an ownership reset. Use the guided Wi-Fi update steps or record the full app message and contact Support. Do not repeatedly hold APP or change installation settings.
Password recovery and factory reset are separate: this APP procedure resets the lift’s provisioning/account connection. It does not delete your Atlantis login account, reset its password, or perform the main-controller factory reset that clears installation setup. For a forgotten login password, use Forgot password?; no APP button press is needed.

Connect
Connect with Atlantis Boater
- 01
Connect nearby
Sign in to Atlantis Boater, enable Bluetooth and requested nearby-device permissions, and stand near the stopped lift. Match the serial number to the outside label.
- 02
Open Wi-Fi settings
For a lift already in your account, select it and choose Open Lift Control. Connect over Bluetooth, tap the gear icon (Lift & Device Info), then find WiFi and choose Update WiFi Settings. If your access does not include Wi-Fi settings, contact the owner or marina. For your own newly installed lift, use Add a Lift instead.
- 03
Choose the network
Choose your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network and enter its password. Use Scan Nearby to refresh the list, or Manual to type the network name. Then choose Update WiFi. When adding your own personal lift for the first time, Enable WiFi is optional: Add Lift saves your choice. Marina setup requires Wi-Fi and must be completed by authorized staff.
- 04
Wait for confirmation
Keep your phone nearby and leave the app open until setup finishes. Connecting to the router is one step; the lift also needs to connect to Atlantis for online features.
- 05
Check the result
Check the final app message. Nearby Bluetooth control does not require a remote-access subscription. Remote access needs internet and an active plan or access provided by your marina. If setup fails, take a screenshot of the message for Support.

Setup did not finish
Stop and get help
When troubleshooting setup, do not repeat the APP hold, continue past the first magenta Bluetooth-unlock blink, or change installer settings. The deliberate owner reset above is a separate routine. Record the app message and any visible light color or rhythm, then contact your dealer or Atlantis Support.

Wireless light quick reference
Use the separate wireless light for connection information. It can flash several colors while setup is in progress. Wait for the final app message before deciding whether setup succeeded. Alternating red/magenta means setup failed. A brief green flash alone does not confirm remote access is ready.
