USING THE FIRST TIME SETUP WIZARD
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 CBR400 comes with a unique
password creating built-in WiFi Security, which prevents unauthorized users from connecting to your WiFi network.
1) Open a browser window and type "cp" or "192.168.0.1" in the address bar. PRESS ENTER/RETURN.
2) When prompted for your password, type the eight character Default Password found on product label
(the last eight characters of the MAC Address).
3) When you log-in for the first time, you will be automatically directed to the FIRST TIME SETUP WIZARD.
4) STEP 1/4: If you choose, you can change the router's ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD.
Then, select your TIME ZONE. Click NEXT.
5) STEP 2/4: CradlePoint recommends you customize your WiFi Network Name. Type in your personalized
Wireless Network Name here. You can also enable the Guest Network feature

Choose the WIFI SECURITY MODE that best fits your needs: POOR for WEP, GOOD for WPA/WPA2
and BEST for WPA2 Only. ( Make sure your PC or other devices support the mode you choose ).
Choose a personalized WIRELESS SECURITY PASSWORD. This password will be used to reconnect
your devices to the router once the security settings have been saved. Click NEXT.
6) STEP 3/4: If necessary, select your 4G WiMAX Realm. Using a 3G or LTE modem no selection is necessary.
Click NEXT.
7) STEP 4/4: Review the details and record your wireless network name, administrative and wireless
WPA password. Click APPLY to save the settings to your router.

MODEM SUPPORT & UPDATES (FIRMWARE)
CradlePoint regularly makes new modem support and performance enhancements
available for our products in a software package called "firmware". Updating firmware
ensures your CBR400 is ready for today and tomorrow's technology.
To Update Your Firmware, Follow The Steps Below:
1) Connect your computer to the CBR400 via its WiFi network broadcast or an Ethernet cable. (see pages 3 & 4)
2) Open a browser window and type "192.168.0.1" in the address bar. PRESS ENTER/RETURN.

5)
Find the FIRMWARE UPGRADE section. This will display the current firmware version that is installed
and indicate if updated firmware is available.
6)
Click AUTOMATIC (Internet) if new firmware is available. The router will download and install the firmware
and automatically reboot itself. A status monitor will appear and indicate when this process is complete. This
process may take several minutes depending on your internet connection speed.
7) If your router does not have an active internet connection (ie: modem not working on older firmware)
you will need to download the latest firmware from www.cradlepoint.com/cbr400 to your desktop, then use
MANUAL FIRMWARE UPLOAD option.

SPECIAL FEATURES of the CBR400
GUEST WiFi NETWORK
Your router can broadcast two WiFi networks: one private and one public. Guests on the public network
have full, secure access to the internet - but are restricted from accessing the router administration or
connected devices on the private network.
Enable the Guest Network in Step 2 of the First Time Setup Wizard.
It will appear as "Public-xxx" in your available networks list.
WiFi as WAN
Public WiFi networks aren't very secure, but are generally free. The CBR400 can receive a WiFi signal
and use it to create internet access, securely connecting up to 16 devices via WiFi using the CBR400's
security features.
Enable this feature by logging in to your router (see steps 1 & 2 on page 5) and switching to "Advance Mode"
by clicking on "Basic Mode" box in the upper left corner of the Administration Interface. Then select
INTERNET on the top navigation bar and then WiFi as WAN Settings in the dropdown menu.
Click ENABLED and then REFRESH under Site Survey (wait a moment while the device scans).
Select the WiFi network you'd like to use as your Internet Connection and click IMPORT.
RESET
To restore the router to its factory settings, press and hold the RESET button on the side of the router
for ten seconds. Reset returns the login to DEFAULT PASSWORD found on the bottom of your router.
This is useful if you have changed your WiFi security settings and can no longer access the internet.
