MBR1400 | USER MANUAL – Firmware version 4.4
CRADLEPOINT
7.8 WiFi as WAN / Bridge
WiFi as WAN uses an outside WiFi network as its Internet source and then rebroadcasts its own local network. For
example, the MBR1400 can create a private LAN using the public WiFi from a hotel as its WAN. WiFi Bridge functions
similarly, but it rebroadcasts the original network – the router passes on the same settings and addresses already set up
by the original NAT. The WiFi as WAN and WiFi Bridge features cannot both be used at the same time.
When either WiFi as WAN or WiFi Bridge is enabled, the MBR1400 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.
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 IP Settings. For example, you
might change 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1.
