Getting Started

–

First Time Setup

The

First Time Setup Wizard

will help you customize

the name of your wireless network, change passwords

to something you choose, and establish an optimal

WiFi security mode. The MBR95 comes out of the box

with a unique password at WPA1/WPA2 WiFi security

level.

Note: Instructions for the

First Time Setup Wizard

are also

located in the

Setup Guide

included with the MBR95.

1) Open a browser window and

type “

cp/

”

or

“

192.168.0.1

”

into

the

address

bar.

Press

enter/return.

2) When prompted for your password, type the eight

character

Default Password

found on the product

label on the bottom of the MBR95 (this is also the

last 8 digits of the router’s MAC add

ress).

3) When you log in for the first time, you will be automatically directed to the

FIRST TIME SETUP WIZARD

. (Otherwise,

go to

Getting Started

→

First Time Setup

).

4) CradlePoint recommends that you

change the router’s

ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD

, which is used to log in to the

administration pages. The administrator password is separate from the WiFi security password, although initially the

Default Password

is used for both.

5) Select your

TIME ZONE

from the dropdown list. Click

6) CradlePoint recommends that you customize your

WiFi Network Name. Type in your personalized

Network name here. You can also enable the Guest

Network feature (for more configuration options, see

Network Settings

→

WiFi / Local Networks

and

the

Wireless (WiFi) Network Settings

section of this

manual).

Choose the

WIFI SECURITY MODE

that best fits

your needs:



BEST (WPA2):

Select this option if your

wireless adapters support WPA2-only mode.

This will connect to most new devices and is

the most secure, but may not connect to older

devices or some handheld devices such as a

PSP.



GOOD (WPA1 & WPA2):

Select this option if

your wireless adapters support WPA or

WPA2. This is the most compatible with

modern devices and PCs.



POOR (WEP):

Select this option if your

wireless adapters only support WEP. This

should only be used if a legacy device that only supports WEP will be connected to the router. WEP is insecure

and obsolete and is only supported in the router for legacy reasons. The router cannot use 802.11n modes if

WEP is enabled; WiFi performance and range will be limited.



NONE (OPEN):

Select this option if you do not want to activate any security features.

CradlePoint recommends BEST (WPA2) WiFi security.

Try this option first and switch only if you have a device that

is incompatible with WPA2.

Choose a personalized

WPA PASSWORD

or

WEP KEY

. This password will be used to connect devices to the

router’s WiFi broadcast once the security settings hav

e been saved.

The WPA Password must be between 8 and 64 characters long. A combination of upper and lower

case letters along with numbers and special characters is recommended to prevent hackers from gaining access to

your network.

WEP Key:

A WEP Key must be either a hexadecimal value of 5 or 13 characters or a text value of 10 or 26

characters.
