Operation Manual

WiFi as WAN uses an outside WiFi network as its Internet source. When WiFi as WAN is enabled, the router 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.
To enable WiFi as WAN, first select the desired WiFi radio:
WiFi Radio #1 (2.4 GHz)
WiFi Radio #2 (5 GHz)
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 IPv4 Settings. For example,
you might change 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1.
Saved Profiles
This is a list of WiFi networks that have already been configured as WAN sources. The router will attempt to connect to
any of these access points using the password you have configured. If more than one access point is in range, then the
router will connect with the highest priority network.
Network: The name (SSID, or Service Set Identifier) that is broadcast by the access point.
BSSID
: The numeric ID of the network (Basic Service Set Identifier). This parameter is required when trying to connect
