Captive Portal 1.3.1 The Captive Portal solution provided by CradlePoint routers enables businesses to provide their customers with a public WiFi hotspot with access controls. The controls can be as simple as requiring acceptance of a Terms of Service agreement, while Advanced features allow administrators to control and monitor usage, require login, direct users to specific web pages, provide revenue through services fees or paid advertising, and more.
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.

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.
IBR600 | USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.3.0 CRADLEPOINT 4.3 Quick Links The CradlePoint logo in the upper left-hand corner of all the administration pages is a link to the Dashboard (Status → Dashboard), which displays fundamental information about the router.
After the initial setup of the router, every time you log in you will automatically be directed to this Dashboard. Also, you can click on the CradlePoint logo in the upper left-hand corner to return to the Dashboard from any page.
CRADLEPOINT 6.3 DNS (Advanced Mode only) 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 IBR600 has these distinct functions: ...

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‖...

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.

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.

IBR600 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.
The embedded modem can be activated (or reactivated/upgraded). Select the checkbox next to the CradlePoint device and click ―Update / Activate‖. Modem Activation / Update: Activate, Reactivate, or Upgrade Configuration. Click Activate to start the process. If the modem is connected when you start an operation the router will automatically disconnect it.
Unless the WiFi source is on an unprotected network, you will need to know the 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.
