  • Page 81 (default: 72 to 200, as in 192.168.0.72 to 192.168.0.200). Example: The MBR1400 uses an IP address of 192.168.0.1 for its primary network by default. A computer designated as a Web server has a static IP address of 192.168.0.3. Another computer is designated as an FTP server with a static IP address of 192.168.0.4.

  • Page 84  Ethernet Port Configuration  VLAN Interfaces Wireless (WiFi) Network Settings The MBR1400 can broadcast as many as four SSIDs (service set identifiers — the names for WiFi networks). One primary WiFi network is enabled by default, while you may have enabled a second guest network when using the First Time Setup Wizard.
  • Page 85 MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.5.0 CRADLEPOINT Wireless Network Editor WiFi Name (SSID): When users browse for available wireless networks, this is the name that they will. 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.
  • Page 86 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 WEP and WPA/TKIP are obsolete and have been replaced by WPA/AES.

  • Page 91 LANs under the WiFi Settings heading. WiFi band: Select the range of frequencies the router will use. The MBR1400 can operate in either the 2.4 GHz or the 5.0 GHz ranges. (Default: 2.4 GHz. The included WiFi antennas are 2.4 GHz. 5 GHz antennas are available as an accessory.)
  • Page 92 MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.5.0 CRADLEPOINT Channel: (Shows if Random Channel is deselected.) The WiFi channel corresponds to a frequency the router uses to communicate with other devices. For 2.4 GHz, the range is 1 to 11, and 1, 6, and 11 do not overlap each other. If a WiMAX modem is attached, a higher number channel will increase the chance the router's WiFi and modem's WiMAX radios will conflict with each other, which may result in lower throughput.
  • Page 93 MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.5.0 CRADLEPOINT TX Power: Normally the wireless transmitter operates at 100% power. In some circumstances, however, there might be a need to isolate specific frequencies to a smaller area. By reducing the power of the radio, you can prevent transmissions from reaching beyond your corporate/home office or designated wireless area.
