3.2 Connect to a Computer or other Device
3.2.1 Wireless Network Connection
1) Find the network. On a WiFi-enabled computer or
device, open the window or dropdown menu that allows
you to access wireless networks. The MBR1400
network will appear on the list: select this network.
2) Log in. You will need to input the Default Password
when prompted. The Default Password is provided on

3.3 Common Problems
This section contains a list of some of the most common issues faced by users of the MBR1400.
Please visit CradlePoint Knowledgebase at http://knowledgebase.cradlepoint.com/ for more help and answers to your
other questions.
3.3.1 You Cannot Connect to the Internet with a CradlePoint Business Grade Modem
Make sure that you have an active data plan and that your modem has been activated. A wireless broadband data plan
must be added to your Business Grade Modem. Wireless broadband data plans are available from wireless carriers such
as Sprint and Verizon. A new line of service can be added or a data plan can be transferred from an existing account. You
will need the ESN number (or SIM/IMEI number depending on your carrier plan) from the product label on your modem to
add or transfer a line of service.
After adding a data plan to the modem, you may need to activate the modem:
2. Select Internet from the top navigation bar and Modem Settings from the dropdown menu (Internet → Modem
Settings).
3. Find and select the CradlePoint modem.
4. Click Update/Activate.
5. Click Activate in the popup.
Finally, if you have an active data plan and you have already activated your modem, you may be out of range of your
service provider. Check your signal strength in the Internet section of the Dashboard (Status → Dashboard). If you have
a weak signal in your location, contact your service provider.
If you are still not online after activating the modem, call CradlePoint Technical Support for further assistance.

CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1
3.3.2 Your USB or ExpressCard Modem Does Not Work With the Router
If your USB data or ExpressCard is not working with the router, check the list of supported devices at
http://www.cradlepoint.com/modems to ensure you are using a supported device and carrier. The device you are
using must be supported on the carrier network providing your cellular service or it‘s considered an unsupported
device, even if it is supported on another carrier‘s network.
Sometimes a USB data modem needs to be updated or have other configurations set correctly in order to make a
connection through the router. If your USB Modem has not been updated recently, it is recommended that you do
so if it is having trouble connecting to the MBR1400. Insert your USB data modem into your PC and access the
Internet using the software provided by your cellular carrier. Follow the directions provided to complete the update.
Once you have updated your USB data modem, reconnect the cellular device to your CradlePoint router and
connect to the Internet.
If you are using a 4G WiMAX modem you need to set the WiMAX Realm. This can be done on the administration
pages. Log in using the hostname ―cp/‖ or IP address ―http://192.168.0.1‖ in your browser. On page 3 of the First
Time Setup Wizard (go to Getting Started → First Time Setup), you can set the WiMAX Realm. Be sure to click
Apply on page 4 to save the change.
Some wireless carriers provide more than one Access Point Name (APN) that a modem can connect to. If you wish
to specify the APN, this can be done on the administration pages. Log in using the hostname ―cp/‖ or IP address
―http://192.168.0.1‖ in your browser. Go to Internet → Modem Settings. In the Modem Configuration section,
select your modem and click ―Configure.‖ There is an Access Point Name field: Enter the APN and click Apply.
Some APN examples are isp.cingular, ecp.tmobile.com, and vpn.com. The modem must be removed and
reinserted (or the router must be rebooted) for this change to take effect.
If the above issues have been resolved and you can connect to the router but you cannot get Internet through it
using your modem, you may need to upgrade the router firmware. Use your computer (you may need to plug your
modem directly into your computer if you don‘t have another way to access the Internet) to download the latest
firmware for the router (go to http://www.cradlepoint.com/support/mbr1400 and scroll over firmware at the bottom

The status LEDs of your router will give you an indication whether or not a proper connection is being made. See the LED
STATUS definitions below:
If the data modem LEDs are not illuminated, your modem is not connected and online. You may need to update firmware.
If you are still not online after updating, call CradlePoint Technical Support for further assistance.

4.2 Getting Started – First Time Setup
The First Time Setup Wizard will help you customize the name of your wireless network, change passwords to
something you choose, and establish an optimal WiFi security mode. The MBR1400 comes out of the box with a unique
password at WPA1/WPA2 WiFi security level.
NOTE: Instructions for the First Time Setup Wizard are also located in the Setup Guide included with the MBR1400.
enter/return.
2) When prompted for your password, type the eight
character Default Password found on the product
label on the bottom of the MBR1400 (this is also the
last 8 digits of the router‘s MAC address).
3) When you log in for the first time, you will be
automatically directed to the FIRST TIME SETUP
WIZARD. (Otherwise, go to Getting Started → First
Time Setup).
4) CradlePoint recommends that you change the
router‘s ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD, which is
used to log in to the administration pages. The
administrator password is separate from the WiFi
security password, although initially the Default Password is used for both.
5) You can select your TIME ZONE from a dropdown list. (This may be necessary to properly show time in your router
log, but typically your router will automatically determine your time zone through your browser.) Click NEXT.

6) CradlePoint recommends that you customize your
WiFi Network Name. Type in your personalized
Network name here. You can also enable the Guest
Network feature (for more configuration options, see
Network Settings → WiFi / Local Networks and
manual).
Choose the WIFI SECURITY MODE that best fits
your needs:
BEST (WPA2): Select this option if your
wireless adapters support WPA2-only mode.
This will connect to most new devices and is
the most secure, but may not connect to older
devices or some handheld devices such as a
PSP.
GOOD (WPA1 & WPA2): Select this option if
your wireless adapters support WPA or
WPA2. This is the most compatible with
modern devices and PCs.
POOR (WEP): Select this option if your
wireless adapters only support WEP. This should only be used if a legacy device that only supports WEP will be
connected to the router. WEP is insecure and obsolete and is only supported in the router for legacy reasons.
The router cannot use 802.11n modes if WEP is enabled; WiFi performance and range will be limited.
NONE (OPEN): Select this option if you do not want to activate any security features.
CradlePoint recommends BEST (WPA2) WiFi security. Try this option first and switch only if you have a device that
is incompatible with WPA2.

Choose a personalized WPA PASSWORD or WEP KEY. This password will be used to connect devices to the
router‘s WiFi broadcast once the security settings have been saved.
WPA Password: The WPA Password must be between 8 and 64 characters long. A combination of upper and
lower case letters along with numbers and special characters is recommended to prevent hackers from gaining
access to your network.
WEP Key: A WEP Key must be either a hexadecimal value of 5 or 13 characters or a text value of 10 or 26
characters.

4.4.1 Network Settings vs. Internet
When using the Web interface, it will be important to pay attention to the difference between the Internet source for your
MBR1400 and the network created by the MBR1400. The “Internet” tab broadly refers to the router‘s source of Internet,
while the “Network Settings” tab broadly refers to the network created by the router.
The following chart highlights this difference:
Internet tab
Network Settings tab
Internet ―output‖
Internet ―input‖
Source for MBR1400
WAN (Wide Area Network)
Network created by MBR1400
LAN (Local Area Network)
Examples:
If you want to change the content filtering settings for the network created by the MBR1400, go to the Network
Settings tab.
If you have multiple Internet sources (such as a CradlePoint Business Grade Modem and an Ethernet connection)
for which you would like to set priority levels, go to the Internet tab.

CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1
5.1 Client List
The Client List displays the specifications of each
device connected to your router, including
Wireless and Wired clients.
Wireless Clients. For each device using a wireless
connection to your MBR1400, the following
information is displayed: Hostname, IP, MAC,
Connection, and Time Online.
Wired Clients. For each device using a wired
connection to your MBR1400, the following
information is displayed: Hostname, IP, and MAC.
Hostname: The name by which each computer or device in a network is known.
IP: The ―IP address,‖ or ―Internet Protocol address,‖ specifies a location for each device.
MAC: This is the "MAC address", a factory-assigned identifier used to identify a specific attached computer or device.
Connection: Summary of the wireless connection. For example: 802.11n, 20 MHz, 130 Mbps, -26 dBm
802.11n: The transmission standard being used by the client. Possible values include 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g,
and 802.11n. 802.11n is the newest and best standard, but some older devices may not support it.
20 MHz: This is the channel width that defines the theoretical data rate (in megahertz) that the attached computer
or device can send to or receive from the router. The channel width is set in Network Settings → WiFi / Local
Networks. Typically this will be 20 MHz, but 40 MHz is possible if the router is set to use two adjacent 20 MHz
channels. A wider channel can mean better performance, but not if there is too much interference. Even if 40 MHz
is set in the WiFi Channel Width, the router may still fall back to 20 MHz if interference is found.
130 Mbps: The transmit rate (in megabits per second) currently used to transmit packets from the router to the
client. This rate changes automatically to match environmental conditions. Distance from the router, interference,
etc can impact this value. Higher values indicate better performance. Devices can still function in the network with
as little as 1 Mbps.

CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1
-26 dBm: A relative measure of wireless signal quality (decibels relative to one milliwatt). This expresses
theoretical best quality. The value is given as a negative exponent: -20 is a very good value while -80 is relatively
poor. Signal quality can be reduced by distance, by interference from other radio-frequency sources (such as
cordless telephones or neighboring wireless networks), and by obstacles between the router and the wireless
device.
Time Online: Simply the amount of time the device has been connected to the router.

6.1 Content Filtering
You have two main options for filtering
content in a network created through
your MBR1400.
1) Domain / URL Filter Rules:
Create a list of websites that will
be either disallowed
(facebook.com, for example) or
allowed exclusively (your
company‘s website, for example).
2) OpenDNS Content Filtering:
Allows several options for filtering
rules.
To create Domain / URL Filter Rules, simply input one or more website domain names or URLs. By default, these
websites will be disallowed as part of a Blacklist. You can change this to a Whitelist to exclusively allow these sites.
Enable Whitelist: By default, Domain / URL filters allow you to block access from your network to any external domain or
website. Enabling this as a Whitelist instead will allow access to only those sites in the list, blocking all other websites.
Some sites use multiple domains, so each of them would need to be added to the list to get full site functionality. The
default behavior enables the Whitelist for URLs only. Select Filter by IP Addresses to use IP addresses with the Whitelist.
Filter by IP Addresses: Enabling this will cause the router to block/allow URLs by the IP addresses they point to. This
option will also force all DNS traffic through the router to ensure the correct IP address is returned during a DNS lookup.
Using IP address filtering with URLs is not recommended. Some URLs do not return all valid IP addresses with DNS,
so these may be missed. Another possible problem is that example.com and www.example.com refer to the same website
but may return different IP addresses.

6.1.1 OpenDNS
OpenDNS is a service that protects you
online by filtering websites. OpenDNS
protects you from phishing websites and
URL typos once you select a filtering level.
None: Disables Web filtering that
uses OpenDNS,
Minimal: Filters phishing and URL
typos.
Good: Filters any Web site containing
pornography and enables typo and
phishing redirection.
Better: Filters more nudity, sexuality,
and tasteless content.
Best: Filters more nudity, sexuality,
and tasteless content. Selecting ―Best‖ will filter all content that is deemed adult content by OpenDNS.
Custom: Custom OpenDNS settings. See below for more information.
In addition to the standard filtering levels,
you have the following options for filter
control:
Custom OpenDNS: To use the Custom
OpenDNS setting you need to first create an
OpenDNS account. You can create an
―Create Account‖ link. Follow the onscreen
instructions to create an account.
Once you have an OpenDNS account, enter your account information in order to use your Custom OpenDNS settings.
Custom OpenDNS settings use the DNS-O-MATIC (an OpenDNS Service) API to update the IP address of your

OpenDNS network. In order for Custom settings to work you need to login to DNS-O-MATIC using your OpenDNS
credentials and "Add A Service" for the network specified above.
Enable OpenDNS ISP Filter Bypass Algorithm: It is possible that your Internet Service Provider (ISP) uses the port that
OpenDNS is configured to access, port 53, which will prevent OpenDNS filtering. If OpenDNS does not appear to be
working correctly, enabling this will attempt to bypass those ports when using an OpenDNS content filtering level.

6.2 DHCP Server
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The built-in DHCP server automatically assigns IP addresses to
the computers and other devices on each local area network (LAN). In this section you can view a list of assigned IP
addresses and reserve IP addresses for particular devices.
Active Leases: A list of devices that have
been provided DHCP leases. The DHCP
server automatically assigns these leases.
This list will not include any devices that
have static IP addresses on the network.
Reservations: This option lets you reserve
IP addresses; you can assign the same IP
address to the network device with the
specified MAC address any time it requests
an IP address. This is almost the same as
when a device has a static IP address except that the device must still request an IP address from the router. The router
will provide the device the same IP address every time. DHCP Reservations are helpful for server computers on the local
network that are hosting applications such as Web and FTP. Servers on your network should either use a static IP
address or a reservation.
While you have the option to manually input the information to reserve an IP address (Hostname, Hardware Addr, IP
Addr), it is much simpler to select a device under the Active Leases section and click ―Reserve.‖ The selected device‘s
information will automatically be added under Reservations.

6.3 DNS
DNS, or Domain Name System, is a naming system that translates between domain names (www.cradlepoint.com, for
example) and Internet IP addresses (206.207.82.197). A DNS server acts as an Internet phone book, translating between
names that make sense to people and the more complex numerical identifiers. The DNS page for the MBR1400 has these
distinct functions:
DNS Settings: By default your router is set to automatically acquire DNS servers through your Internet provider
(Automatic). DNS Settings allows you to specify DNS servers of your choosing instead (Static).
Dynamic DNS Configuration: Allows you to host a server (Web, FTP, etc.) using a domain name that you have
purchased (www.yourname.com) with your dynamically assigned IP address.
Known Hosts Configuration: Allows you to map a name (printer, scanner, laptop, etc.) to an IP address of a
device on the network.
6.3.1 DNS Settings
You have the option to choose specific DNS
servers for your network instead of using the DNS
servers assigned by your Internet provider. The
default DNS servers are usually adequate. You
may want to assign DNS servers if the default
DNS servers are performing poorly, if you want
WiFi clients to access DNS servers that you use for customized addressing, or if you have a local DNS server on your
network.
Automatic Config: Automatic or Static (default: Automatic). Switching to ―Static‖ enables you to set specific DNS servers
in the Primary DNS and Secondary DNS fields.
Primary DNS and Secondary DNS: If you choose to specify your DNS servers, then enter the IP addresses of the
servers you want as your primary and secondary DNS servers in these fields. The DNS server settings will be pre-
populated with public DNS server IP addresses. You can override the IP address with any other DNS server IP address of
your choice. For example, Google Public DNS servers have the IP addresses 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 while 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.3
are servers from Level 3 Communications.

Force All DNS Requests To Router: Enabling this will redirect all DNS requests from LAN clients to the router's DNS
server. This will allow the router even more control over IP addresses even when clients have their own DNS servers
statically set.
6.3.2 Dynamic DNS Configuration
The Dynamic DNS feature allows you to host a server (Web, FTP, etc.) using a domain name that you have purchased
(www.yourname.com) with your dynamically assigned IP address. Most broadband Internet Service Providers assign
dynamic (changing) IP addresses. When you use a Dynamic DNS service provider, you can enter your host name to
connect to your server, no matter what your IP address is.
Enable Dynamic DNS: Enable this option only if you
have purchased your own domain name and registered
with a Dynamic DNS service provider.
Server Type. Select a Dynamic DNS service provider
from the pull-down list:
www.DynDNS.org
www.DNSomatic.com
www.ChangeIP.com
www.NO-IP.com
Custom Server (DynDNS clone)
Custom Server Address. Only available if you select
Custom Server from the Server Address dropdown list.
Enter your custom dynamic DNS server address here.
The server must support the Dynamic DNS protocol.
See www.dyndns.org for details. Example:
myserver.mydomain.net.
Use HTTPS: Use the more secure HTTPS protocol.
This is recommended, but could be disabled if not compatible with the server.
Host name: Enter your host name, fully qualified. For example: myhost.mydomain.net.

User name: Enter the user name or key provided by the Dynamic DNS service provider. If the Dynamic DNS provider
supplies only a key, enter that key for both the User name and Password fields.
Password: Enter the password or key provided by the Dynamic DNS service provider.
6.3.3 Advanced Dynamic DNS Settings
Update period (hours). (Default: 576) The time between periodic updates to the Dynamic DNS, if your dynamic IP
address has not changed. The timeout period is entered in hours so valid values are from 1 to 8760.
Override External IP. The external IP is usually configured automatically during connection. However, in situations where
the unit is within a private network behind a firewall or router, the network's external IP address will have to be manually
configured in this field.
You may find out what your external IP address is by going to http://myip.dnsomatic.com/ in a web browser.
6.3.4 Known Hosts Configuration
The Known Hosts Configuration feature allows you to
map a name (printer, scanner, laptop, etc.) to an IP
address of a device on the network. This assigns a new
hostname that can be used to conveniently identify a
device within the network, such as an office printer.
Click Add to name a device in your network.
Fill in the following fields:
Hostname: Choose a name that is meaningful to you. No spaces
are allowed in this field.
IP address: The address of the device within your network.
EXAMPLE: a personal laptop with IP address 192.168.0.164 could be assigned the
name ―MyLaptop‖.
Since the assigned name is mapped to an IP address, the device‘s IP
address should not change. To ensure that the device keeps the same IP address, go to the ―Reservations‖ section under
Network Settings → DHCP Server and reserve the IP address for the device.

6.4 Firewall
The router automatically provides a firewall. Unless you configure the router to the contrary, the router does not respond
to unsolicited incoming requests on any port, thereby making your LAN invisible to cyber attackers.
However, some network applications cannot run with a tight firewall. Those applications need to selectively open ports in
the firewall to function correctly. The options on this page control ways of opening the firewall to address the needs of
specific types of applications.
6.4.1 Port Forwarding Rules
A port forwarding rule allows traffic from the
Internet to reach a computer on the inside of your
network. For example, a port forwarding rule might
be used to run a Web server.
Exercise caution when adding new rules as
they impact the security of your network.
Click Add to create a new port forwarding rule, or select an
existing rule and click Edit.
Add/Edit Port Forwarding Rule
Name: Name your rule.
Use Port Range: Changes the selection options to allow
you to input a range of ports (if desired).
Internet Port(s): The port number(s) as you want it
defined on the Internet. Typically these will be the same
as the local port numbers, but they do not have to be.
These numbers will be mapped to the local port numbers.
Local Computer: Select the IP address of an attached
device from the dropdown menu, or manually input the IP address of a device.

CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1
Local Port(s): The port number(s) that corresponds to the service (Web server, FTP, etc) on a local computer or
device. For example, you might input ―80‖ in the Local Port(s) field to open a port for a Web server on a computer
within your network. The Internet Port(s) field could then also be 80, or you could choose another port number that
will be used across the Internet to access your Web server. If you choose a number other than 80 for the Internet
Port, connections to that number will be mapped to 80—and therefore the Web server—within your network.
Protocol: Select from the following options in the dropdown menu:
o TCP
o UDP
o TCP & UDP
Click Submit to save your completed port
forwarding rule.

6.4.2 IP Filter Rules (Advanced)
An "Incoming" IP filter rule restricts remote access to computers on your local network. "Outgoing" filter rules prevent
computers on your local network from initiating communication to the address range specified in the rule.
This feature is especially useful when combined with port forwarding and/or DMZ to restrict remote access to a specified
host or network range. For example, in order to host a server you might have opened ports with a port forwarding rule that
could expose your LAN to cyber attacks. With an
incoming IP filter rule, you can restrict the
access to your LAN to only known devices.
Name: Name your rule.
Enabled: Selected by default.
Direction: ―Any,‖ ―Incoming,‖ or
―Outgoing‖
Action: ―Allow‖ or ―Deny‖
Protocol: ―Any,‖ ―TCP,‖ or ―UDP‖
IP Source / IP Destination
Network IP: Optional field to specify a
matching network IP address for this rule
to match against.
Subnet Mask: Use this to define a
subnet size this rule should match
against.
Port Start: Use for a single port or a
range of ports.
Port End: Use for a single port or a range
of ports.
Use Network IP, Subnet Mask, Port Start, and Port End to specify the ports and addresses for which the rule applies.
You can specify a range of ports or a single port (by inputting the same value in both port fields). Similarly, the subnet
mask can be used to define either a range of addresses (i.e. 255.255.255.0) or a single address (255.255.255.255).

If you leave these values blank, then all IP addresses and ports will be included. IP Source and IP Destination options
can be used to differentiate between the directions that packets go. You could permit packets to come from particular IP
addresses but then not allow packets to return to those addresses.
Example of an IP Filter Rule: Suppose you have opened a port in your firewall in order to run a server. Someone, Johnny, is abusing that
opening, so you would like to restrict his access. Create a rule that will deny Johnny‘s IP address.
Add IP Filter Rule
Name: No more Johnny
Enabled: Selected
Direction: Incoming
Action: Deny
Protocol: Any
IP Source
Network IP: 172.22.24.160 (Johnny‘s IP address)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.255 (This subnet mask restricts the rule to one single address).
Port Start: 80
Port End: 80

6.4.3 DMZ: DeMilitarized Zone (Advanced)
A DMZ host is effectively not firewalled in the
sense that any computer on the Internet may
attempt to remotely access network services at the
DMZ IP address. Typical uses involve running a
public Web server or sharing files.
Input the IP Address of a single device in your
network to create a DeMilitarized Zone for that device. To ensure that the IP address of the selected device remains
consistent, go to the ―Reservations‖ section under Network Settings → DHCP Server and reserve the IP address for the
device.
As with port forwarding, use caution when enabling the DMZ feature as it can threaten the security of your
network. Only use DMZ as a last resort.
6.4.4 Firewall Options (Advanced)
Anti-Spoof: Anti-Spoof checks help protect against
malicious users faking the source address in
packets they transmit in order to either hide
themselves or to impersonate someone else. Once
the user has spoofed their address they can launch
a network attack without revealing the true source
of the attack or attempt to gain access to network services that are restricted to certain addresses.
Packet Normalization: Normalizing packets helps secure the router in untrusted environments. It does so by "scrubbing"
packets that are ambiguous or might represent a break-in attempt. Packet Normalization also helps insure reliable
connectivity for some WAN devices such as WiMAX modems. Only disable this option if you are sure you do not need it.
Static NAT Ports: If enabled the source port does not translate in TCP and UDP packets during NAT. Some NAT
traversal protocols such as STUN(T) require that the source port stay the same when traversing the firewall.

6.5 MAC Filter
The MAC Filter allows you to create a
list of devices that have either
exclusive access (whitelist) or no
access (blacklist) to your wireless
LAN.
Enabled: Click to allow MAC Filter
options.
Whitelist: Select either ―Whitelist‖ or
―Blacklist‖ from a dropdown menu. In
"Whitelist" mode, the router will
restrict WiFi access to all computers
except those contained in the "MAC
Filter List" panel. In ―Blacklist‖ mode, listed devices are completely blocked from WiFi access.
MAC Filter List (Whitelist or Blacklist): Add devices to either your whitelist or blacklist simply by inputting each device‘s
MAC address.
NOTE: Use caution when using the MAC Filter to avoid accidentally blocking yourself from accessing the router.

6.6 Routing
Add a new static route to the IP routing table or
edit/remove an existing route.
Static routes are unnecessary for most users.
They are typically only used in networks with
more than one layer, such as when there is a
network within a network so that packet destinations are hidden behind an additional router. Adding a static route is a way
of telling the router about an additional step that packets will need to take to reach their destination.
Click Add to create a new static route.
IP/Network Address: The IP address of the target
network or host.
Type: Select from a dropdown list to specify the type of the
target:
Network
Host
Netmask: The Netmask, along with the IP address,
defines the network the computer belongs to and which
other IP addresses the computer can see in the same
LAN. An IP address of 192.168.0.1 along with a Netmask
of 255.255.255.0 defines a network with 256 available IP addresses from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.0.255.
NOTE: 255.255.255.255 is used to signify only the host that was entered in the IP/Network Address field.
Gateway: Specifies the next hop to be taken if this route is used. A gateway of 0.0.0.0 implies there is no next hop, and
the IP address matched is directly connected to the router on the interface specified: LAN or WAN.

6.7 WiFi / Local Networks
This section is used to configure the settings for
wireless networks created by your router. Note that
changes made in this section may also need to be
duplicated on wireless devices that you want to
connect to your wireless network.
For example, if you change a LAN‘s IP address, devices
within that network will lose connection. They will have to
reconnect to the network.
Firmware 3.3.0 introduced significant changes to
the WiFi / Local Networks page, creating much
more flexibility and control for the user. The
MBR1400 now includes these options:
VLAN (virtual LAN)
As many as four WiFi networks (SSIDs)
NAT-less routing
The user can now set up multiple networks, each
with its own unique configuration and its own
selection of interfaces. Each local network can be
attached to any of the following types of interfaces:
WiFi
Ethernet
VLAN
For example, one network might be just an isolated WiFi hotspot for guests, while another might be the main network with
administrative access, two Ethernet ports, a password-protected WiFi SSID, and a VLAN interface.

When you set a network as a ―Hotspot‖ under
Routing Mode, you will also need to make
sure to:
1) Configure hotspot settings under
System Settings → Hotspot
Services. Click on Configure to link to that page.
2) If you want a hotspot that includes WiFi, set one of your WiFi interfaces to ―Open‖ for its Security Mode and
attach this interface to your hotspot network. Otherwise guests will need to know the password to connect to the
WiFi network even before viewing a Terms of Service page (or other hotspot options).
Finally, make sure your WiFi interface is ―Enabled‖.

6.7.2 Local Network Editor
The Local Network Editor contains the following tabs: IP Settings, Interfaces, Access Control, and DHCP Server.
IP Settings:
Name: This primarily helps to identify this network during
other administration tasks.
Hostname: [Default: cp (for CradlePoint)] The hostname
is the DNS name associated with the router's local area
network IP address.
NOTE: You can access the router‘s administration pages by typing
the hostname into your browser, so if you change ―cp‖ to another
hostname, you can access the administration pages through the new
hostname.
IP Address: This is the address used by the router for
local area network communication. Changes to this
parameter may require a restart to computers on this
network.
Each network must have a distinct IP address. Most users
will want an address from one of the following private IP ranges:
10.0.0.1 - 10.255.255.1
172.16.0.1 - 172.31.255.1
192.168.0.1 - 192.168.255.1
NOTE: The final number does not have to be 1, but it is a simple, logical convention for routers that leaves higher numbers free for other devices.
Netmask: (Default: 255.255.255.0) The netmask controls how many IP addresses can be used in this network. The
default value allows for 254 IP addresses, which is enough in most cases.
Routing Mode: (Default: NAT) Each network can use a unique routing mode to connect to the Internet and other local
networks. NAT is desirable for most configurations. Select from the following options in the dropdown list:

NAT (default): Network Address Translation hides private IP addresses behind the router's IP address. This is the
simplest and most common choice for users, because NAT does the translation work for you.
Standard: NAT-less routing. If you select Standard, you must separately configure your IP addresses so that they
will be publically accessible. Typically you will not select this option unless you have a specific reason to bypass
NAT.
Hotspot: Provide Hotspot Services on this network, requiring Terms of Service or RADIUS/UAM authentication
before WAN access will occur on both wireless and wired LAN connections. To enable a Hotspot you must also
configure your Hotspot settings under System Settings → Hotspot Services.
Disabled: Disable this network.
Interfaces:
Select network interfaces to attach to this network.
Choose from WiFi, Ethernet ports, and VLAN interfaces.
Double-click on any of the interfaces shown on the left in
the Available section to move them to the Selected
section on the right (or highlight an interface and click the
+ button). To deselect an interface, double-click on an
interface in the Selected section (or highlight the interface
and click the – button).
If you want more interface options, you must configure
additional WiFi, Ethernet ports, and VLAN interfaces
separately. See the Local Network Interfaces section
below (on this same administration page: Network
Settings → WiFi / Local Networks).

DHCP Server:
Changing settings for the DHCP server is optional. The
default selections are almost always sufficient.
DHCP Server: (Default: Enabled) When the DHCP server
is enabled, users of your network will be able to
automatically connect to the Internet without any special
configuration. It is recommended that you leave this
enabled. Disabling the DHCP server is only recommended
if you have another DHCP server on your network and it is
configured properly.
Range Start and Range End: These designate the range
of values in the reserved pool of IP addresses for the
DHCP server. Values within this range will be given to any
DHCP enabled computers on your network. The default
values are almost always sufficient (default: 72 to 200, as
in 192.168.0.72 to 192.168.0.200).
Example: The MBR1400 uses an IP address of 192.168.0.1 for its
primary network by default. A computer designated as a Web server has a static IP address of 192.168.0.3. Another computer is designated as an
FTP server with a static IP address of 192.168.0.4. The starting IP address for the DHCP server needs to be 192.168.0.5 or higher.
Lease Time: [Default: 720 minutes (12 hours)] The lease time specifies how long DHCP-enabled computers will wait
before requesting a new DHCP lease. Smaller values are better suited to busy environments.

DHCP Options: Input a custom DHCP option by first clicking ―Add‖. There are close to 200 possible DHCP options
available. One of the more common uses is to assign a VoIP phone server using option 66 (Server name).
Option: Select an option from the dropdown list or manually
available from IANA.
Value: Generally this field should be a string, IP address, or
numeric value. Some fields can accept both IP addresses and
hostnames—in these cases you may need to wrap this value in
quotes. For example, option 66 (Server name) requires quotes
around IP addresses.

6.7.3 Local Network Interfaces
Each LAN type—WiFi, Ethernet, and VLAN—has a separate section with configuration options. Unless the default
configuration is sufficient, YOU MUST CONFIGURE EACH INTERFACE SEPARATELY in order to create the desired
interface options for a network. You can then select these interfaces to add to a network in the Local Network Editor
(see above).
Select from the following tabs:
Wireless (WiFi) Network Settings
Ethernet Port Configuration
VLAN Interfaces
Wireless (WiFi) Network Settings
The MBR1400 can broadcast as many as
four SSIDs (service set identifiers — the
names for WiFi networks). One primary WiFi
network is enabled by default, while you may
have enabled a second guest network when
using the First Time Setup Wizard. You have
the ability to change the settings for either of
these networks and/or enable two additional
networks.
Wireless Radio: Enable/Disable. (Default:
Enabled). Leave enabled unless you don‘t
want any WiFi networks broadcast from your router.
Select a WiFi network and click Edit to change the settings.

WiFi Name (SSID): When users browse for available
wireless networks, this is the name that they will. This
name is referred to as the SSID (service set identifier).
For security purposes, CradlePoint highly recommends
that you change this from the pre-configured name.
Hidden: This shows whether the router broadcasts its
SSID. It is somewhat harder for hackers to find and
attack a router that is not broadcasting its SSID, which
adds to the wireless security, but it is also more difficult
for friendly users to attach to a WiFi network with a
hidden SSID.
Isolate: Select this to isolate all wireless clients so they
cannot directly communicate with each other on the
wireless network.
WMM: WiFi Multimedia. This is a basic traffic shaping,
or QoS (quality of service), system for the network.
WMM works behind the scenes to set priorities for
different types of traffic on your network. For example,
video streams are given higher priority than print jobs,
since video streams need consistent throughput.
Enabled: Whether the network is available.

Security Mode: You have several options for selecting a security mode. The mode you choose depends on the security
features your wireless adapters support.
WPA2 Personal
WPA / WPA2 Personal
WPA Personal
WPA2 Enterprise
WPA / WPA2 Enterprise
WPA Enterprise
WEP Auto
Open
Select ―Open‖ to create a hotspot: otherwise select the
best security that your devices will support (CradlePoint
recommends WPA2).
Depending on which Security Mode you select, there are
different setup options.
―Personal‖ security modes require passwords.
―Enterprise‖ security modes are linked to a RADIUS server and require RADIUS authentication: IP, Port, and
Shared Key.
―WPA2‖ (Personal or Enterprise) forces AES as the WPA Cipher.
―WPA/WPA2‖ and ―WPA‖ (Personal or Enterprise) allow AES, TKIP/AES, and TKIP.
―WEP Auto‖ requires a WEP Key.
―Open‖ has no password or other security measures.
NOTE: If you don‘t know whether you should choose Personal or Enterprise, assume Personal since you need to know RADIUS authentication for
Enterprise.
In order to protect your network from hackers and unauthorized users, CradlePoint highly recommends WPA2/AES for
security if your attached devices can support it. WEP and WPA/TKIP are obsolete and have been replaced by WPA/AES.
Using those security settings will cause the WiFi to limit to 802.11g modes.

Ethernet Port Group Editor
A Port Group represents a logical grouping of Ethernet
ports. Any computers physically connected to ports in a
group will be allowed to freely communicate with each
other. For example, if you leave all four orange ports set
as LAN ports, you might group Orange Port 1 and Orange
Port 2 together to be part of your primary network, and
then group Orange Port 3 and Orange Port 4 together to
be part of a guest network.
NOTE: When a port group uses the LAN mode you must separately
ensure that this logical interface is attached to a Local IP Network in
the top panel of this page.
Port Group ID: The Group ID field provides a reference
to this grouping of ports to be used in other parts of the
router configuration. For example, this ID is referenced in
the Local IP Networks configuration to attach this logical
group of Ethernet ports with a network configuration. Use
a simple short text phrase to describe this group, such as
"main", "guestports", "backup_wan", etc.
Select one or more ports to create a port group that you can subsequently attach to a network in the Local Network
Editor. Double-click on any of the Ethernet ports shown on the left in the Available section to move them to the Selected
section on the right (or highlight a port and click the + button). To deselect an Ethernet port, double-click on an interface in
the Selected section (or highlight the port and click the – button).

6.7.4 WiFi Settings (Advanced)
When you select the Wireless (WiFi) Networks
Settings tab in the Local Network Interfaces section,
you have several additional options for configuring your
wireless LANs under the WiFi Settings heading.
WiFi band: Select the range of frequencies the router
will use. The MBR1400 can operate in either the 2.4 GHz
or the 5.0 GHz ranges. (Default: 2.4 GHz. The included
WiFi antennas are 2.4 GHz. 5 GHz antennas are
available as an accessory.)
Channel Selection Method: This controls how a WiFi
channel is selected.
User Selection. Manually set the channel.
Random Selection. The router randomly sets the
channel.
Smart Selection (Default). Scans to determine
the lowest interference WiFi channel.
Channel Selection Schedule: When using the "Smart"
channel selection, this controls whether the router will
periodically rescan for a better channel and change to it.
Select from ―Once,‖ ―Daily,‖ ―Weekly,‖ or ―Monthly.‖ Note
that there may be a momentary WiFi disconnection while
the channel changes.
Optimize WiFi/WiMAX coexistence: (Shows if Smart Selection or Random Selection is chosen and the WiFi Band is
2.4 GHz.) Setting this will lessen any possible conflict with WiFi in the 2.4 GHz band and an attached WiMAX modem. If a
WiMAX modem is attached to the router when the WiFi is enabled, the WiFi channel and transmit power will be set to
levels that optimize the performance of the WiMAX modem. If no WiMAX modem is attached, then default channel and
power settings will be used even if this is selected.

Channel: (Shows if Random Channel is deselected.) The WiFi channel corresponds to a frequency the router uses to
communicate with other devices. For 2.4 GHz, the range is 1 to 11, and 1, 6, and 11 do not overlap each other. If a
WiMAX modem is attached, a higher number channel will increase the chance the router's WiFi and modem's WiMAX
radios will conflict with each other, which may result in lower throughput. Select a channel from the dropdown list:
1 (2412 MHz)
2 (2417 MHz)
3 (2422 MHz)
4 (2427 MHz)
5 (2432 MHz)
6 (2437 MHz)
7 (2442 MHz)
8 (2447 MHz)
9 (2452 MHz)
10 (2457 MHz)
11 (2462 MHz)
For 5.0 GHz, the ranges are 36 to 64 and 149 to 165. These channels do not interfere with a WiMAX modem. If you
choose to use 5.0 GHz, you should consider switching antennas. The default WiFi antennas are optimized for the
2.4 GHz range.
36 (5180 MHz)
40 (5200 MHz)
44 (5220 MHz)
48 (5240 MHz)
149 (5745 MHz)

CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1
TX Power: Normally the wireless transmitter operates at 100% power. In some circumstances, however, there might be a
need to isolate specific frequencies to a smaller area. By reducing the power of the radio, you can prevent transmissions
from reaching beyond your corporate/home office or designated wireless area.
RTS Threshold: When an excessive number of wireless packet collisions are occurring, wireless performance can be
improved by using the RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) handshake protocol. The wireless transmitter will begin
to send RTS frames (and wait for CTS) when data frame size in bytes is greater than the RTS Threshold. This setting
should remain at its default value.
Fragmentation Threshold: Wireless frames can be divided into smaller units (fragments) to improve performance in the
presence of RF interference and at the limits of RF coverage. Fragmentation will occur when frame size in bytes is greater
than the Fragmentation Threshold. This setting should remain at its default value. Setting the Fragmentation value too low
may result in poor performance.
DTIM: A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.
When the wireless router has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM
with a DTIM Interval value. Wireless clients detect the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast
messages. The default value is 1. Valid settings are between 1 and 255.
Beacon: Beacons are packets sent by a wireless router to synchronize wireless devices. Specify a Beacon Period value
between 20 and 1000 milliseconds.
WPS: WiFi Protected Setup is a method for easy and secure establishment of a wireless network. It can be used instead
of passwords when connecting clients that support WPS.
Short Slot: Slot Time is the period wireless clients use in determining if the channel is free for transmission. Enabling this
value allows clients that can utilize a shorter time to do so. Disabling this option forces all clients to use a longer backoff
check and thus may reduce network throughput while reducing the number of transmission collisions.

Wireless Mode: Select the WiFi clients the router will be compatible with. Greater compatibility is a tradeoff with better
performance. For greatest compatibility with all WiFi devices, select "802.11 a/b/g/n". For best performance, connect with
only other 802.11n-compatible devices and select "802.11 n."
802.11 b
802.11 b/g
802.11 a/b/g/n
802.11 b/g/n

Channel Width: Selects whether the router uses a single 20 MHz channel to send/receive, or uses two adjacent 20 MHz
channels to create a 40 MHz channel. Higher performance is possible with the 40 MHz channel. Selecting Auto is
generally best. Enabling WiFi as WAN will force 20 MHz only mode.
Extended Channel: When operating in 40 MHz mode the access point will use an extended channel either below or
above the current channel. Optimal selection will depend on the channels of other networks in the area.
MCS: 802.11n uses multiple Modulation Coding Schemes to enable higher throughput in various environments. Since
clients can dynamically change rates depending on environment, selecting Auto is generally best.
Short GI: Short GI is an optimization for shortening the interval between transmissions. May be incompatible with older
clients.
Greenfield Mode: Greenfield mode uses an 802.11n-only preamble to transmit packets that older wireless clients cannot
interpret. Use of greenfield mode in a mixed 802.11 environment may result in degraded performance but can improve
performance if all devices in the area are 802.11n compatible.
RADIUS Timeout: (Default: 3600 seconds) When using an Enterprise security mode clients will be forced to re-
authenticate with the RADIUS server at this interval in seconds. This allows administrators to revoke access so when an
attached client‘s authentication expires, the client must re-authenticate.
RADIUS Retry: (Default: 60 seconds) When using an Enterprise security mode, if a RADIUS query fails to receive a
response from the server it will delay by this interval (in seconds) before attempting another query. This helps protect the
network from floods of authentication requests if the RADIUS server is temporarily unreachable.

6.8 WiPipe QoS
When WiPipe QoS (Quality of Service/Traffic
Shaping) is enabled, the router will control the
flow of Internet traffic according to the user-
defined rules. In other words, Traffic Shaping
improves performance by allowing the user to
prioritize applications.
Enable WiPipe QoS: Click on this box to open
options for controlling Internet traffic. You can
control Uplink Speed values or define your own
Traffic Shaping rules. When WiPipe QoS is
enabled, the router restricts the flow of
outbound traffic so as not to exceed the WAN
uplink bandwidth.
Uplink Speed: By default, the Uplink Speed
values are set as fast as possible. Adjust the sliding bar to restrict the maximum uplink speed for the Internet source(s)
you are using. You might do this to prioritize available bandwidth for download or to reduce overall bandwidth use in order
to lower costs. It is recommended that you experiment with different values for your particular Internet connection for best
results.
NOTE: Uplink speed is the speed at which data can be transferred to your ISP. You can test your uplink speed with a service such as
6.8.1 Add Traffic Shaping Rule
A Traffic Shaping Rule identifies a specific message flow and assigns a priority to that flow. For most applications,
automatic classification will be adequate, and specific Traffic Shaping Rules will not be required.
Traffic Shaping supports overlap between rules, where more than one rule can match for a specific message flow. If more
than one rule matches, the rule with the highest priority will be used.

7.1 Connection Manager
The router can establish an uplink via the Ethernet WAN port, WiFi as WAN, or modems plugged into a modem port. If the
primary WAN connection fails the router will automatically attempt to bring up a new link on another device. This feature is
called failover. If Load Balance is enabled, multiple WAN devices may be plugged in and each may establish a link.
7.1.1 WAN Interfaces
This is a list of the available interfaces used to
access the Internet. You can enable, stop, or start
devices from this section. By using the priority
arrows (the arrows in the boxes to the left—these
show if you have more than one available
interface), you can set the interface the router uses
by default and the order that it allows failover.
In the example shown, Ethernet is set as the primary Internet source, while an ExpressCard modem is attached for
failover. The Ethernet is ―Connected‖ while the modem is ―Available.‖
Load Balance: If this is enabled, the router will use multiple WAN interfaces to increase the data transfer throughput by
using any connected WAN interface consecutively. Selecting Load Balance will automatically start the WAN interface and
add it to the pool of WAN interfaces to use for data transfer. Turning off Load Balance for an active WAN interface may
require the user to restart any current browsing session.
Enabled: Selected by default. Deselect to disable an interface.

Failure Check (Advanced)
If this is enabled, the router will check that the highest
priority active WAN interface can get to the Internet even if
the WAN connection is not actively being used. If the
interface goes down, the router will switch to the next
highest priority interface available. If this is not selected, the router will still failover to the next highest priority interface but
only after the user has attempted to get out to the Internet and failed.
Idle Check Interval: The amount of time between each check. (Default: 30 seconds. Range: 10-3600 seconds.)
Monitor while connected: (Default: Off) Select from the following dropdown options:
Passive DNS (modem only): The router will take no action until data is detected that is destined for the WAN.
When this data is detected, the data will be sent and the router will check for received data for 2 seconds. If no data
is received the router behaves as described below under Active DNS.
Active DNS (modem only): A DNS request will be sent to the DNS servers. If no data is received, the DNS
request will be retried 4 times at 5-second intervals. (The first 2 requests will be directed at the Primary DNS server
and the second 2 requests will be directed at the Secondary DNS server.) If still no data is received, the device will
be disconnected and failover will occur.
Active Ping: A ping request will be sent to the Ping Target. If no data is received, the ping request will be retried 4
times at 5-second intervals. If still no data is received, the device will be disconnected and failover will occur.
Off: Once the link is established the router takes no action to verify that it is still up.
Ping IP Address: If you selected ―Active Ping‖, you will need to input an IP address. This must be an address that can be
reached through your WAN connection (modem/Ethernet). Some ISPs/Carriers block certain addresses, so choose an
address that all of your WAN connections can use. For best results, select an established public IP address.
For example, you might ping Google Public DNS at 8.8.8.8 or Level 3 Communications at 4.2.2.2.

Failback Configuration (Advanced)
This is used to configure failback, which is the
ability to go back to a higher priority WAN interface
if it regains connection to its network.
Usage: Fail back based on the amount of data
passed over time. This is a good setting for when
you have a dual-mode EVDO/WiMAX modem and
you are going in and out of WiMAX coverage. If the
router has failed over to EVDO it will wait until you
have low data usage before bringing down the EVDO connection to check if a WiMAX connection can be made.
High (Rate: 80 KB/s. Time Period: 30 seconds.)
Normal (Rate: 20 KB/s. Time Period: 90 seconds.)
Low (Rate: 10 KB/s. Time Period: 240 seconds.)
Custom (Rate range: 1-100 KB/s. Time Period range: 10-300 seconds.)
Time: Fail back only after a set period of time. (Default: 90 seconds. Range: 10-300 seconds.) This is a good setting if
you have a primary wired WAN connection and only use a modem for failover when your wired connection goes down.
This ensures that the higher priority interface has remained online for a set period of time before it becomes active (in
case the connection is dropping in and out, for example).
Disabled: Deactivate failback mode.
Immediate Mode: Fail back immediately whenever a higher priority interface is plugged in or when there is a priority
change. Immediate failback returns you to the use of your preferred Internet source more quickly which may have
advantages such as reducing the cost of a failover data plan, but it may cause more interruptions in your network than
Usage or Time modes.

7.1.4 Ethernet Settings
While default settings for each WAN Ethernet port will be
sufficient in most circumstances, you have the ability to
control:
Connect Method: DHCP (Automatic), Static
(Manual), or PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over
Ethernet).
MAC Address: You have the ability to change the
MAC address, but typically this is unnecessary. You
can match this address with your device‘s address
by clicking: ―Clone Your PC’s MAC Address‖.
Connect Method
Select the connection type that you need for this WAN connection. You may need to check with your ISP or system
administrator for this information.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is the most common configuration. Your router‘s Ethernet ports are
automatically configured for DHCP connection. DHCP automatically assigns dynamic IP addresses to devices in
your networks. This is preferable in most circumstances.
Static allows you to input a specific IP address for your WAN connection; this should be provided by the ISP if
supported.
PPPoE should be configured with the username, password and other settings provided by your ISP.
If you want to use a Static (Manual) or PPPoE connection, you will need to fill out additional information.

7.1.6 Update/Activate a Modem
Some 3G modems can be updated and activated while plugged into the router. Updates and activation methods vary by
modem model and service provider. Possible methods are: PRL Update, Activation, and FUMO. All supported methods
will be displayed when you select your modem and click ―Update/Activate‖. If no methods are displayed for your device
then you will need to update and activate your device externally.
To update or activate a modem, select the device and click
―Control‖.
The modem does not support Update/Activate methods: A
message will state that there is no support for PRL Update,
Activation, or FUMO.
The modem supports Update/Activate methods: A message
will display showing options for each supported method:
Modem Activation / Update: Activate, Reactivate, or
Upgrade Configuration.
Preferred Roaming List (PRL) Update
Firmware Update Management Object (FUMO)
Click the appropriate icon to start the process.
If the modem is connected when you start an operation the
router will automatically disconnect it. The router may start
another modem as a failover measure. When the operation is
done the modem will go back to an idle state, at which point the
router may restart it depending on failover and failback settings.
NOTE: Only one operation is supported at a time. If you try to start the same
operation on the same modem twice the UI will not report failure and the
request will finish normally when the original request is done. However if you
try to start a different operation or use a different modem, this second request
will fail without interfering with the pending operation.

7.1.7 Configuration Rules (Advanced)
This section allows you to create general rules
that apply to the Internet connections of a
particular type. These can be general or very
specific. For example, you could create a rule that
applies to all WiMAX modems, or a rule that only
applies to an Internet source with a particular MAC
address.
The Configuration Rules list shows all rules that
you have created, as well as all of the default
rules. These are listed in the order they will be
applied. The most general rules are listed at the
top, and the most specific rules are at the bottom.
The router goes down the list and applies all rules
that fit for attached Internet sources. Configuration
settings farther down the list will override previous
settings.
Select any of these rules and click ―Edit‖ to change the settings for a rule. To create a new rule, click ―Add.‖

7.2 Data Usage
Data Usage Management & Alerts allows you to create and manage rules that help control the data usage of a modem.
If you have a limited data plan or a price increase on your plan after a certain amount of usage, a Data Usage Rule can
help you track these amounts. You can set a rule to shut down use of a modem and/or send a message when you reach a
data usage amount you set.
Enable Data Usage: Enabled/Disabled. (Default:
Disabled.)
When you select Enabled, you will see the Data Usage
Agreement shown to the right. The purpose of this
agreement is to ensure that you understand that the data
numbers for the MBR1400 may not perfectly match those
of your carrier: CradlePoint cannot be held responsible.
You must accept the agreement by clicking Yes in order to
begin creating data usage rules.
Warning: You should set your data limits lower than your
Data Allowance and regularly compare the numbers
provided by the router with the numbers from your carrier.

7.3 GRE Tunnels
Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnels can be used to create a connection between two private networks. The
MBR1400 is enabled for either GRE or VPN tunnels. GRE tunnels are simpler to configure and more flexible for different
kinds of packet exchanges, but VPN tunnels are much more secure.
In order to set up a tunnel you must know the following:
Local Network and Remote Network addresses for the ―Glue Network,‖ the network that is created by the
administrator that serves as the ―glue‖ between the networks of the tunnel. Each address must be a different IP
address from the same private network, and these addresses together form the endpoints of the tunnel.
Remote Gateway, the public facing WAN IP address that the local gateway is going to connect to.
Optionally, you might also want to enable the tunnel Keep Alive feature to monitor the status of a tunnel and more
accurately determine if the tunnel is alive or not.
Click Add to configure a new GRE tunnel.

Page 1: General
Tunnel Name: Choose a name that is meaningful to you.
Local Network: This is the local side of the ―Glue
Network,‖ a network created by the administrator to form
the tunnel. The user creates the IP address inputted here.
It must be different from the IP addresses of the networks
it is gluing together.
Choose any private IP address from the following three
ranges that doesn‘t match either network:
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
Remote Network: This is the remote side of the ―Glue
Network.‖ Again, the user must create an IP address that
is distinct from the IP addresses of the networks that are
being glued together.
The Remote Network and Local Network values will be
flipped when inputted for the other side of the tunnel
configuration.
Subnet Mask: This is the subnet mask for the Glue
Network. The Local and Remote Network addresses must
fit with this mask. 255.255.255.0 is a logical choice for
most users.
Remote Gateway: This is the public facing, WAN-side IP address of the network that the local gateway is going to
connect to.
Tunnel Enabled: Select to activate the tunnel.

Choose the length of time in seconds of the Rate for each check (Default: 10 seconds. Range: 2 – 3600 seconds) and the
number of Retry attempts (Default: 3. Range: 1 – 255).
Page 2: Routes
Adding routes allows you to configure what types of
network traffic from the local host or hosts will be allowed
through the tunnel.
Click Add Route to configure a new route. You will need
to input the following information, defined by the remote
network:
Network Address
Netmask: (Default: 255.255.255.0)
You can set the tunnel to connect to a range of IP
addresses or to a single IP address. For example, you
could input 192.168.0.0 and 255.255.255.0 to connect
your tunnel to all the addresses of the remote network in
the 192.168.0.x range. Alternatively, you could select a
single address by inputting that address along with a
Netmask of 255.255.255.255.
Click Save to record each new route.
When you have finished adding routes, click Finish to save your GRE tunnel configuration.

7.4 VPN Tunnels
VPN (virtual private network) tunnels are
used to establish a secure connection to a
remote network over a public network. For
example, VPN tunnels can be used across
the Internet by an individual to connect to an
office network while traveling or by two office
networks to function as one network. The
two networks set up a secure connection
across the (normally) unsecure Internet by assigning VPN encryption protocols.
The MBR1400 uses IPsec (Internet Protocol security) to authenticate and encrypt packets exchanged across the tunnel.
To set up a VPN tunnel with the MBR1400 on one end, there must be another device (usually a router) that also supports
IPsec on the other end.
IKE (Internet Key Exchange) is the security protocol in IPsec. IKE has two phases, Phase 1 and Phase 2. The MBR1400
has several different security protocol options for each phase, but the default selections will be sufficient for most users.
The VPN tunnel status page allows you to view the state of the VPN tunnels. If a tunnel fails to connect to the remote site,
check the System Logs for more information. You may double click on a cell to directly edit that information.
Click Add to configure a new VPN tunnel.

Tunnel Name: Choose a name meaningful to you.
Anonymous: Select to allow remote connections from any IP
address.
Local Identity: Specifies the identifier sent to the remote host
during phase 1 negotiation. If left blank it will default to the IP
address of the WAN connection. Currently we only support
identifiers in the form of an IP address, a user-fully qualified
domain name (www.mydomain.com). If the remote side of the
tunnel is configured to expect an identifier, then both must
match in order for the negotiation to succeed. If NAT-T is being
used, a single word (instead of an address) can be used if a
DynDNS connection is not being used.
Remote Identity: Specifies the identifier we expect to receive
from the remote host during phase 1 negotiation. If no identifier
is defined then no verification of the remote peer's identification
will be done. Currently we only support identifiers in the form of
an IP address, a user-fully qualified domain name
([email protected]) or just a fully qualified domain name
(www.mydomain.com). If left blank we will default to the IP
address of the WAN connection. If NAT-T is being used, a single
word (instead of an address) can be used if a DynDNS
connection is not being used.
Pre-shared Key: Create a password or key. The routers on both sides of the tunnel must use this same key.
Mode: Tunnel or Transport. Tunnel Mode is used for protecting traffic between different networks, when traffic must
pass through an intermediate, untrusted network. Transport Mode is used for end-to-end communications (for example,
for communications between a client and a server).

Initiation Mode: ―Always On” or ―On Demand.‖ ―Always On‖ is used if you want the tunnel to initiate the tunnel
connection whenever the WAN becomes available. Select On Demand if you want the tunnel to initiate a connection if
and only if there is data traffic bound for the remote side of the tunnel.
Tunnel Enabled: Enabled or Disabled.
MBR1200 Quick Connect: VPN tunnels in the MBR1400 have more choices than they do in the MBR1200, so it is more
complex to configure. Check this box to simplify setup by streamlining your options.
7.4.2 Page 2-3: Local and Remote
Networks
Local Network: The Network Address and
the Netmask define what local devices have
access to or can be accessed from the VPN
tunnel. The MBR1400 will automatically fill in
the values for your network, but you can
change the values to limit the tunnel to only
some of the devices in your network.
NOTE: The local network IP address must be
different from the remote network IP address.
Remote Network: Enter the remote
Gateway's IP address or fully qualified
domain name (my.domain.com). It is
recommended you use a dynamic DNS host
name instead of the static IP address. By using the dynamic DNS host name updates of the remote WAN IP are
compensated for while connecting to a VPN tunnel.
Enter the Network IP address with the Subnet Mask to define the remote network subnet that the local devices will have
access to.
NOTE: The remote network IP address must be different from the local network IP address.

7.4.3 Page 3: IKE Phase 1
IKE security has two phases, Phase 1 and Phase 2. You have the ability to distinctly configure each phase, but the default
settings will be sufficient for most users.
To set up a tunnel with a remote site, you need to match your tunnel's IKE negotiation parameters with the remote site. By
selecting several encryption, hash, and DH group options, you
improve your chances for a successful tunnel negotiation. For
greatest compatibility, select all options; for greatest security,
select only the most secure options that your devices support.
Exchange Mode: The IKE protocol has 2 modes of negotiating
phase 1 - Main (also called Identity Protection) and Aggressive.
In Main mode, IKE separates the key information from
the identities, allowing for the identities of peers to be
secure at the expense of extra packet exchanges.
In Aggressive mode, IKE tries to combine as much
information into fewer packets while maintaining security.
Aggressive mode is slightly faster but less secure.
Because it has better security, Main mode is recommended for
most users.
Key Lifetime: The lifetime of the generated keys of Phase 1 of
the IPsec negotiation from IKE. After the time has expired, IKE
will renegotiate a new set of Phase 1 keys.
Encryption, Hash, and DH Groups: Each IKE exchange uses
one encryption algorithm, one hash function, and one DH group
to make a secure exchange.

Encryption: Used to encrypt messages sent and received by IPsec.
o AES 128
o AES 256
o Blowfish
o CAST
o DES
o 3DES
Hash: Used to compare, authenticate, and validate that data across the VPN arrives in its intended form and to
derive keys used by IPsec.
o MD5
o SHA1
o SHA2 256
o SHA2 384
o SHA2 512
DH Groups: The DH (Diffie-Hellman) Group is a property of IKE and is used to determine the length of prime
numbers associated with key generation. The strength of the key generated is partially determined by the strength
of the DH Group. Group 5, for instance, has greater strength than Group 2.
o DH group 1: 768-bit key.
o DH group 2: 1024-bit key.
o DH group 5: 1536-bit key.
In Phase 1, only one DH group can be selected while using Aggressive exchange mode.
By default, all the algorithms (encryption, hash, and DH groups) supported by the MBR1400 are checked, which means
they are allowed for any given exchange. Deselect these options to limit which algorithms will be accepted. Be sure to
check that the router (or similar device) at the other end of the tunnel has matching algorithms.
The algorithms are listed in order by priority. You can reorder this priority list by clicking and dragging algorithms up or
down. Any selected algorithm may be used for IKE exchange, but the algorithms on the top of the list are more likely to be
used more often.

7.4.4 Page 4: IKE Phase 2
Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS): Enabling this feature will
require IKE to generate a new set of keys in Phase 2 rather than
using the same key generated in Phase 1.
Additionally, the new keys generated in Phase 2 (with this option
enabled) are exchanged in an encrypted session. Enabling this
feature affords the policy greater security.
Key Lifetime: The lifetime of the generated keys of Phase 2 of
the IPsec negotiation from IKE. After the time has expired, IKE
will renegotiate a new set of Phase 2 keys.
Phase 2 has the same selection of Encryption, Hash, and DH
Groups as Phase 1, but you are restricted to only one DH
Group. Phase 2 and Phase 1 selections do not have to match.

7.4.5 Page 5: Dead Peer Detection
Dead Peer Detection (DPD) defines how the router will detect
when one end of the IPsec session loses connection while a
policy is in use.
Connection Idle Time allows you to configure how long the
router will allow an IPsec session to be idle before beginning to
send Dead Peer Detection (DPD) packets to the peer machine.
Request Frequency allows you to adjust the delay between
these DPD packets to send as quickly as every 2 seconds up to
30 seconds apart.
Additionally, you can specify how many Maximum Requests to
send at the selected time interval before the tunnel is considered
dead.
You must click Finish to save your VPN tunnel.

7.4.8 VPN with NAT-T
If one side of a planned VPN tunnel is behind a NAT (network address translation) firewall, the setup of your tunnel
requires the following specifications:
1. Each side of the tunnel must use both a Local Identity and a Remote Identity. These must match the identities on
the other side: The Local Identity must match the Remote Identity on the other side of the tunnel, and vice versa. In
this case, these identities can each be a simple word.
2. The Tunnel Name for the side of the tunnel that is not behind the NAT firewall must be ―anonymous‖.
3. The VPN tunnel must be initiated from the side that is behind the NAT firewall.

7.5 WiFi as WAN / Bridge
WiFi as WAN uses another WiFi network as its Internet source and then rebroadcasts its own local network. For example,
the MBR1400 can create a private LAN using the public WiFi from a hotel as its WAN. WiFi Bridge functions similarly, but
it rebroadcasts the original network. In other words, the router passes on the same settings and addresses already set up
by the original NAT. The WiFi as WAN and WiFi Bridge features cannot both be used at the same time.
When either WiFi as WAN or WiFi Bridge is enabled, the MBR1400 will find other WiFi networks that you can select and
connect to. Unless a selected WiFi source is on an unprotected network, you will need to know its password or key.
All CradlePoint routers and some other routers use the same default IP address for the primary network, 192.168.0.1. If
you attempt to set up WiFi as WAN and there is an ―IP conflict,‖ you need to change the IP address. The router is
attempting to use the same IP address for both WAN and LAN, which is impossible. Go to Network Settings → WiFi /
Local Networks. Select the network and click Edit. You can change the IP address under IP Settings. For example, you
might change 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1.

7.5.1 WiFi Bridge
When in WiFi Bridge mode with a configured profile, a WiFi Bridge device will be added to the local network interfaces,
providing a way to bridge two LANs over a WiFi connection. For example, two separate CradlePoint routers linked through
WiFi Bridge mode allows you to have one WiFi-connected network in two separated sections of a large office building.
This eliminates the need for extensive Ethernet cords to link the two routers, while allowing the full functionality of having
one network.
A router that is using Bridge mode passes network information through from the partner access point, so typically DHCP
and NAT should be disabled. The router will connect to the remote WiFi access point and enable the bridging of two LAN
networks together over WiFi.
Under Network Settings → WiFi / Local Networks, choose the Local IP Network you want to attach this LAN interface
to. Edit that Network, and under the "Interfaces" tab you will be able to see your WiFi Bridge profiles as "Available"
interfaces.
NOTE: The LAN IP address of this router and the attached WiFi access point cannot be the same address.
To set up WiFi Bridge, follow these steps:
1) In Internet → WiFi as WAN / Bridge under WiFi Client Mode, click on ―WiFi Bridge‖ to enable this mode.
2) Your bridge network must be enabled under Saved Profiles. Either import the desired network from Site Survey
or click Add to configure it.
3) Once WiFi Bridge is enabled and a bridge network is configured in Saved Profiles, go to Network Settings →
WiFi / Local Networks and select a network from the Local IP Networks list. Click on Edit to open the Local
Network Editor and find the Interfaces tab. Your configured bridge network should be listed in the ―Available‖
section. Add this interface to your chosen network.
4) You need to turn off the DHCP Server. If you click Submit after attaching the WiFi bridge interface, a window will
pop up asking you if you want to turn off the DHCP Server. You can also do this manually: click on the DHCP
Server tab while still under Network Settings → WiFi / Local Networks in the Local Network Editor. Deselect
―DCHP Server‖ to disable it.
5) Optional: Also under Network Settings → WiFi / Local Networks in the Local Network Editor, click on the IP
Settings tab. Change the Routing Mode to ―Disabled.‖ Changing the routing mode may improve security. You
may also need to change the IP address to prevent IP conflict. Click Submit to save your configuration.

7.5.2 Saved Profiles
This is a list of WiFi networks that have
already been configured as WAN sources
(or Bridge profiles). The router will attempt to
connect to any of these access points using
the password you have configured. If more
than one access point is in range, then the
router will connect with the highest priority
network.
Network: The name (SSID, or Service Set Identifier) that is broadcast by the access point.
BSSID: The numeric ID of the network (Basic Service Set Identifier). This parameter is required when trying to connect to
a hidden network using WiFi as WAN. It is optional when connecting to a visible network. If it is set in a profile, both the
SSID and BSSID must match to connect to an access point. If the BSSID is not set in a profile, then the router will connect
to any access point that matches the given SSID.
Auth Mode: The type of encryption that is used by the network.
None
WEP Auto
WEP Open
WEP Shared
WPA1 Personal
WPA2 Personal
WPA1 & WPA2 Personal
7.5.3 Site Survey
This is a list of WiFi networks that the router can currently find, along with information about the network such as its mode
and channel. If you click on a network in the Site Survey, you can import it as a saved profile. You can sort the list based
on any of the fields by clicking on the field name.

Click ―Refresh‖ if a WiFi network to which you
want to connect is invisible. Site Survey only
operates on the band—2.4 GHz or 5.0 GHz—that
is currently configured in the WiFi advanced
settings. In order to connect to networks in a
different band, first switch the WiFi settings to
that band (Network Settings → WiFi / Local
Networks in Advanced Mode).
You have the option to manually add network
profiles, but it is usually much easier to import
them from Site Survey. Either click on Add
under ―Saved Profiles‖ or select a WiFi network in ―Site Survey‖ and click Import.
If you import a network from Site Survey, most of the information about the network will already be completed. You need
to input the password (if there is one) and then click submit to save the WiFi as WAN profile.

8.1.2 System Clock
Enabling NTP will tell the router to get its system time from a remote server on the Internet. If you do not enable NTP then
the router time will be based on when the router firmware was built, which is guaranteed to be wrong. Whenever the
Internet connection is re-established and once a week thereafter the router will ask the server for the current time so it can
correct itself.
You then have the option of selecting an NTP server and adjusting the NTP server port. Select the NTP server from the
dropdown list. Any of the given NTP servers will be sufficient unless, for example, you need to synchronize your router‘s
time with other devices in a network.
Time Zone: Select from a dropdown list. Setting your Time Zone is required to properly show time in your router log.
Daylight Savings Time: Select this checkbox if your location observes daylight savings time.

NOTE: Although any network can be a hotspot, the MBR1400
allows only one hotspot.
Enable Hotspot Services: Disabled by default.
Click Enabled to activate Hotspot options.
Hotspot Mode: Choose from the following
dropdown options:
Simple: Allows ―Terms of Use‖ page and
timeout settings controlled within the router.
RADIUS/UAM: Allows you to set up external authentication servers.
Local IP Network: A single LAN Group—including both WiFi and Ethernet—can be configured as your hotspot. If you do
not already have a LAN Group configured as a hotspot, go to the WiFi / Local Networks page (you can click Configure to
link to this page) and set the Routing Mode to "Hotspot" for the LAN Group you want to use.
NOTE: Routing Mode is in the Local Network Editor under the IP Settings tab. Select a network in Network Settings → WiFi / Local Networks
and click Edit to open the Local Network Editor. The IP Settings tab will already be open: the Routing Mode dropdown menu is at the bottom.
Allow Service on 3G/4G Modems: Allows you to enable or disable hotspot access to the Internet over a modem. This is
often used if the router has a main wired link and a secondary modem for failover (typically with a more expensive/limited
data plan). Select this option if you want the router to allow data traffic over the modem if the wired connection goes down.
Redirect HTTPS Requests: This allows initial requests to HTTPS websites to be redirected appropriately.
Hotspot/UAM Authentication Port: Default: 8000. Type in a different port number, or use the slider to change the port.
