Wifi As Wan - Cradlepoint IBR1100 User Manual

User Manual / IBR1100/IBR1150
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
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 NETWORKING > Local Networks > DHCP Server and reserve the IP
address for the device by selecting the device in the Active Leases list and clicking Reserve.

WIFI AS WAN

WiFi as WAN uses an outside WiFi network as its Internet source. When WiFi as WAN is enabled, the router
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.
To enable WiFi as WAN, first select the desired WiFi radio:
• WiFi Radio #1 (2.4 GHz)
• WiFi Radio #2 (5 GHz)
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 IPv4 Settings. For example, you might change
192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1.
