Cradlepoint MBR900 Leaflet

WiFi security is highly recommended by CradlePoint. 

User Login Page.  Setting “WiFi Security” on your router prevents users from connecting their 
computers to your router unless they have your wireless security password.  
  
Follow The Steps Below To Set The WiFi Security:
1)  Access your router administration page by opening your browser and typing    
     

http://192.168.0.1 in the address bar.

2)  Enter your 

DEFAULT ADMINISTRATIVE PASSWORD.  This password is the last             

     six digits of the MAC address found on the label on the bottom of your router.  

3)  Once you are connected, click on the 

BASIC tab, click SETUP WIZARD, click NEXT.

4)  You will see a summary of the upcoming Setup Wizard Steps, click 

NEXT.

5)  The default Administrative password should appear. Select your TIME ZONE, click 

NEXT.

6)  One option to establish network security is by selecting 

REQUIRE USER LOG-IN.  By using  

     this setting, you will force every user of the router to log-in using the User Login Password  
     (Set in a separate location in the User Interface). By turning 

OFF the Require User Log-In,  

     you will still be able to secure your network using the settings below.

7)  The next option is to select an appropriate 

LEVEL OF WIFI SECURITY.  This will allow you   

     to create an encrypted security key for your network based on the security mode you select.   
     Choose the security mode that best fits your needs: 

GOOD for WEP, BETTER for WPA and  

     

BEST for WPA2.  

  Choose a  

     personalized 

SECURITY PASSWORD.  This password will be used to re-connect your devices  

     to the router once the security settings have been changed. Click 

9)  Record the setup information shown on the final summary page, then click 

CONNECT.    

     This will save your new settings and apply them to your router.  If you are using WiFi, you 
     will need to re-connect to the router using the password you’ve just established in step 7.

You’ve now secured your CradlePoint router from unintended WiFi access.

1)  If your USB data modem or phone is not working with the router, check the list of supported  
     devices to ensure you are using a supported device and carrier.  The device you’re 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.

     CradlePoint’s supported device list changes regularly.  We update our supported device list  
      after a device is certified and approved.  If the device you have is NOT on the list, that means  
     we do not support it at this time.

     The SUPPORTED DEVICE list can be found at: 

2)  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 MBR900.   
     Simply insert your USB data modem into your PC and using the software provided by your  
     cellular carrier, access the Internet.  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, after following the above directions, you are still unable to access the Internet,  

 

     contact CradlePoint Technical Support for further assistance.  

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 USB Data Modem LEDs are not illuminated, your modem is not connected and online. You 
may need to update firmware. Refer to “Your USB Modem or Phone Does Not Work With The Router.”
If, after updating, you are still not online, call CradlePoint Technical Support for further assistance.
