WPA/WPA2
” and “

” (Personal or Enterprise) allow AES, TKIP/AES, and TKIP.

“
Open
” has no password or other security measures.
NOTE: If you don’t know whether you should choose Personal or Enterprise, assume Personal since you need to know RADIUS
authentication for Enterprise.
In order to protect your network from hackers and unauthorized users, CradlePoint highly recommends
WPA2/AES
for security if your attached devices can support it. WEP
and WPA/TKIP are obsolete and have been replaced by WPA/AES. Using those security settings will cause the WiFi to limit to 802.11g modes.
NOTE: If you select one of the security modes and are unable to connect to the router afterwards, you can use the reset buttons to reset
the router to its factory default state and try a different security mode instead.
Ethernet Port Configuration
Ethernet Port Configuration provides controls for your router’s Ethernet ports. There are five total ports: by default, one WAN port and four numbered LAN ports. While default
settings will be sufficient in most circumstances, you have the ability to control:
Mode
(WAN or LAN) and
Link Speed
. Additional controls for WAN ports are available in
Internet
→
Ethernet Settings
.
Mode
: WAN or LAN. By default there are four LAN (Local Area Network) ports and one WAN (Wide Area Network) port.
Internet (WAN)
is used as a possible source of Internet for the router.
Local Network (LAN)
is for connecting a computer or similar device directly to the router with an Ethernet cable.
Link Speed
: Default setting is Auto. The Auto setting is preferred in most cases.

Ethernet Port Group Editor
A Port Group represents a logical grouping of Ethernet ports. Any computers physically connected to ports in a group will be allowed to freely communicate with each other.
For example, if you keep the four default LAN ports, you might group ports 1 and 2 together to be part of your primary network, and then group ports 3 and 4 together to be
part of a guest network.
NOTE: When a port group uses the LAN mode you must separately ensure that this logical interface is attached to a Local IP Network in
the top panel of this page.
