3.3 Establishing a Wireless Internet Connection
3.3.1
Wireless Network Connection
On a Wi-Fi-enabled computer or device, open the View Wireless Networks window and click
on the MBR1200. Next, click on the
Connect
button in the bottom right corner of the window.
If more than one MBR1200 wireless router is visible, you can find the correct unit by checking
for its SSID. Your wireless router uses the SSID of MBR1200-
xxx, where “xxx” is the last 3
digits of the router‟s MAC address. The MAC address can be found on the MBR1200 product
box or the bottom of the MBR1200 unit. Once you have completed your wireless connection
to the MBR1200 router, you should set up security on your wireless network by following the
procedures identified in the next step (recommended). You can connect directly onto the
Internet without security (not recommended) by skipping the next step.
3.3.2
Setting Up Wireless Network Security
Wi-Fi Security is highly recommended by CradlePoint.
Wi-Fi Security is separate from the
User Login Page
.
Setting “
Wi-Fi
Security” on your router prevents users from connecting
their computers to your router unless they have you wireless security password.
Follow The Steps Below to Set the Wi-Fi Security:
Access your router
Administration Login
screen by opening a web browser window
and typing the IP address
into the address bar.
Enter your
Default Administrative Password
. This password is
the last 6 digits of
the MBR1200’s MAC address
found on the side panel of the MBR1200 product box
or the bottom of the MBR1200.
After you enter the password, click the
Log In
button.
After you are logged in, click on the
BASIC
menu tab at the top of the setup window.
Next, click the
Launch Setup Wizard
button in the middle of the screen.
Follow the instructions in the Setup Wizard (Outlined in section 4.2 of this document:
Wizard) to complete the setup
(Basic
→
Wizard)
.
After security setup has been completed, continue to the next Step to use your new
Security- Enabled Internet Connection.
