Wan Affinity - Cradlepoint MBR1400 User Manual

User Manual / MBR1400
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. Click "Refresh" if a WiFi network you want to connect to is not listed. You can
sort the list based on any of the fields by clicking on the field name.
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.
Wireless Scan Settings
Scan Interval: How often WiFi as WAN scans
the environment for updates. (Default: 60
seconds. Range: 5–3600 seconds.)
Scan While Connected: Continue to scan
for WiFi as WAN profile updates when
connected. Each time a scan occurs the
wireless communication of the router will be
temporarily interrupted. Normally this should
be disabled.

WAN AFFINITY

WAN Affinity rules allow you to manage traffic in
your network so that particular bandwidth uses
are associated with particular WAN sources. This
allows you to prioritize bandwidth.
EXAMPLE: You could specify that your guest LAN
is only associated with your Ethernet connection
with no failover. Then if your Ethernet connection
goes down and the embedded modem connects for failover for your primary LAN, your guest LAN will not take
bandwidth from your primary LAN, saving you money.
Click Add to open the WAN Affinity Policy Editor and create a new WAN Affinity rule.
Name: Give a name for your rule that is meaningful to you.
DSCP (DiffServ): Differentiated Services Code Point is the successor to TOS (Type of Service). Use this field
to select traffic based on the DSCP header in each IP packet. This field is sometimes set by latency sensitive
equipment such as VoIP phones. If you know specific DSCP values, you can input one here.
DSCP Negate: When checked this rule will match on any packet that does NOT match the DSCP field.
Protocol: Select from the dropdown list to specify the protocol for a particular data use. Otherwise, leave
"Any" selected.
