WIFI AS WAN
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 to a hidden network using WiFi as WAN. It is optional when connecting to a visible network. If it is
set in a profile, both the SSID and BSSID must match to connect to an access point. If the BSSID is not set in a
profile, then the router will connect to any access point that matches the given SSID.
Auth Mode : The type of encryption that is used by the network.
• None
• WEP Auto
• WEP Open
• WEP Shared
• WPA1 Personal
• WPA2 Personal
• WPA1 & WPA2 Personal
You have two options for adding network profiles:
• Automatic – Select a WiFi network in Site Survey
and click Import
• Manual – Click on Add under Saved Profiles and
input the required information.
