MAC Filter

The MAC Filter allows you to create a

list of devices that have either

exclusive access (whitelist) or no

access (blacklist) to your wireless

LAN.

Enabled:

Click to allow MAC Filter

options.

Whitelist:

Select eit

her “Whitelist” or

“Blacklist” from a dropdown menu. In

"Whitelist" mode, the router will

restrict WiFi access to all computers

except those contained in the "MAC Filter List" panel. In “Blacklist” mode, listed devices are completely blocked from WiFi

access.

MAC Filter List (Whitelist or Blacklist):

Add devices to either your whitelist or blacklist simply by inputting each device’s

MAC address.

NOTE: Use caution when using the MAC Filter to avoid accidentally blocking yourself from accessing the router.

Routing (Advanced Mode only)

Add a new static route to the IP routing table or

edit/remove an existing route.

Static routes are unnecessary for most users.

They are typically only used in networks with

more than one layer, such as when there is a

network within a network so that packet destinations are hidden behind an additional router. Adding a static route is a way

of telling the router about an additional step that packets will need to take to reach their destination.

Click

Add

to create a new static route.

IP/Network Address:

The IP address of the target network

or host.

Type:

Select from a dropdown list to specify the type of the

target:



Network



Host

Netmask:

The Netmask, along with the IP address, defines

the network the computer belongs to and which other IP

addresses the computer can see in the same LAN. An IP

address of 192.168.0.1 along with a Netmask of 255.255.255.0 defines a network with 256 available IP addresses from

192.168.0.0 to 192.168.0.255.

NOTE: 255.255.255.255 is used to signify only the host that was entered in the IP/Network Address field.

Gateway:

Specifies the next hop to be taken if this route is used. A gateway of 0.0.0.0 implies there is no next hop, and

the IP address matched is directly connected to the router on the interface specified:

LAN

or

WAN

.

Allow Network Access

: (Default: Deselected.) Some static routes will need an IP Filter Rule via the Firewall to allow

packets through the route without being blocked. Selecting this option automatically creates this IP Filter Rule. If the

IP/Network Address

falls outside the LAN IP range, you probably need to select this option.

WiFi / Local Networks

This section is used to configure the settings for

wireless networks created by your router. Note

that changes made in this section may also need

to be duplicated on wireless devices that you

want to connect to your wireless network.

For example, if you change a LAN’s IP address, devices

within that network will lose connection. They will have to

reconnect to the network.

The user can set up multiple networks, each with

its own unique configuration and its own selection

of interfaces. Each local network can be attached

to either of the following types of interfaces:



WiFi



Ethernet

For example, one network might be just an isolated WiFi hotspot for guests, while another might be the main network with administrative access,

two Ethernet ports, and a password-protected WiFi SSID.

6.7.1

Local IP Networks

displays the following

information for each network:



Network Name



IP address/Netmask



DHCP Server

(Enabled/Disabled)



Routing Mode

(NAT, Standard, Disabled)



Access Control

(Admin Access, UPnP Gateway, LAN Isolation)



Attached Interfaces

(Ethernet ports, WiFi)

Local Network Editor

The

Local Network Editor

contains the following tabs: IP Settings, Interfaces, Access Control, and DHCP Server.

IP Settings

:

Name:

This primarily helps to identify this network during

other administration tasks.

Hostname:

[Default: cp (for CradlePoint)] The hostname

is the DNS name associated with the router's local area

network IP address.

NOTE: You can access the router’s administration pages by

typing

the hostname into your browser, so i

f you change “cp” to another

hostname, you can access the administration pages through the new

hostname.

IP Address:

This is the address used by the router for

local area network communication. Changes to this

parameter may require a restart to computers on this

network.

Each network must have a distinct IP address. Most users

will want an address from one of the following private IP ranges:



10.0.0.1 - 10.255.255.1



172.16.0.1 - 172.31.255.1



192.168.0.1 - 192.168.255.1

NOTE: The final number does not have to be 1, but it is a simple, logical convention for routers that leaves higher numbers free for other devices.

Netmask:

(Default: 255.255.255.0) The netmask controls how many IP addresses can be used in this network. The

default value allows for 254 IP addresses, which is enough in most cases.

Routing Mode:

(Default: NAT) Each network can use a unique routing mode to connect to the Internet and other local

networks. NAT is desirable for most configurations. Select from the following options in the dropdown list:
