7.5 WiFi as WAN / Bridge (IBR600)

WiFi as WAN uses another WiFi network as its Internet source and then rebroadcasts its own local network. For example,
the IBR600 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. In other words, 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 IBR600/IBR650 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.
