CRADLEPOINT COR | USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 4.2.0 6.6 Routing 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.

CRADLEPOINT COR | USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 4.2.0 7.7 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.
