Use The Smart Cradle As A Wireless Access Point - NETGEAR AirCard Smart Cradle DC112A User Manual

The Router's PIN field displays the PIN that you use on a registrar (for example, from the
Network Explorer on a Vista Windows computer) to configure the cradle's wireless
settings through WPS.
5. (Optional) Select or clear the Enable Router's PIN check box.
The PIN function might temporarily be disabled when the cradle detects suspicious
attempts to break into the cradle's wireless settings by using the cradle's PIN through
WPS. You can manually enable the PIN function by selecting the Enable Router's PIN
check box.
6. (Optional) Select or clear the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box.
By default, the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box is selected. Best practice is
to leave this check box selected.
If you clear this check box, the next time a new wireless client uses WPS to connect to
the cradle, the cradle wireless settings change to an automatically generated random
SSID and security key.
7. Click the Apply button.
Your changes are saved.

Use the Smart Cradle as a Wireless Access Point

You can set up the cradle to run as an access point (AP) on the same local network as
another router.
Note: When you use the cradle as a wireless AP, the cradle charges the
mobile hotspot, but does not use the mobile hotspot's wireless
broadband Internet connection.

To set up the router as an AP:
1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the Internet port of the cradle to a LAN port in the
router.
2. Launch an Internet browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
Smart Cradle.
