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 CTR35 comes with a unique password creating built-in WiFi Security, which prevents unauthorized users from connecting to your WiFi network.

1) Open a browser window and type “cp” or “192.168.0.1” in the address bar. Press ENTER/RETURN.

2) When prompted for your password, type the eight character Default Password found on product label.

3) When you log-in for the first time, you will be automatically directed to the FIRST TIME SETUP WIZARD.

4) STEP 1/4: If you choose, you can change the router’s ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD. Then, select your TIME ZONE. Click NEXT.

5) STEP 2/4: CradlePoint recommends you customize your WiFi Network Name. Type in your personalized Wireless Network Name here. You can also enable the Guest Network feature (see description on page 7).

Choose the WIFI SECURITY MODE that best fits your needs: POOR for WEP, GOOD for WPA/WPA2 and BEST for WPA2 Only. ( Make sure your PC or other devices support the mode you choose ).

Choose a personalized WIRELESS SECURITY PASSWORD. This password will be used to reconnect your devices to the router once the security settings have been saved. Click NEXT.

6) STEP 3/4: If necessary, select your 4G WiMAX Realm. If you have a 3G or LTE modem, no selection is necessary. Click NEXT.

7) STEP 4/4: Review the details and record your wireless network name, administrative and wireless password. Click APPLY to save the settings to your router.

MODEM SUPPORT & UPDATES (FIRMWARE)

CradlePoint regularly makes new modem support and performance enhancements available for our products in a software package called “firmware”. Updating firmware ensures your Wireless N Portable Router is ready for today and tomorrow’s technology.

To Update Your Firmware, Follow The Steps Below:

1)Connect your computer to the CTR35 via its WiFi network broadcast or an Ethernet cable. (see pages 3 & 4)

2)Open a browser window and type “192.168.0.1” in the address bar. Press ENTER/RETURN.

3)Enter your password to login. Your unique password is either the administrator password you set earlier or the default password found on the bottom label of the CTR35.

4)Select SYSTEM SETTINGS on the top navigation bar, then SYSTEM SOFTWARE in the drop down menu.

5)Find the FIRMWARE UPGRADE section. This will display the current firmware version that is installed and indicate if updated firmware is available.

6)Click AUTOMATIC (Internet) if new firmware is available. The router will download and install the firmware and automatically reboot itself. A status monitor will appear and indicate when this process is complete. This process may take several minutes depending on your internet connection speed.

7)If your router does not have an active internet connection (ie: modem not working on older firmware) you will need to download the latest firmware from cradlepoint.com/ctr35 to your desktop, and then use the MANUAL FIRMWARE UPLOAD option.

Visit www.cradlepoint.com/modems to see if your modem is supported.

SPECIAL FEATURES of the CTR35

GUEST WiFi NETWORK

Your router can broadcast two WiFi networks: one private and one public. Guests on the public network have full, secure access to the internet - but are restricted from accessing the router administration or connected devices on the private network.

Enable the Guest Network in Step 2 of the First Time Setup Wizard.

It will appear as “Public-xxx” in your available networks list.

WiFi as WAN

Public WiFi networks aren’t very secure, but are generally free. The CTR35 can receive a WiFi signal and use it to create internet access, allowing you to securely connect up to 16 devices using the CTR35’s security features.

Enable this feature by logging in to your router (see steps 1 & 2 on page 5) and switching to “Advanced Mode”

by clicking on “Basic Mode” box in the upper left corner of the Administration Interface. Then select INTERNET on the top navigation bar and then WiFi as WAN Settings in the dropdown menu. Click ENABLED, then REFRESH under Site Survey (wait a moment while the device scans). Select the WiFi network you’d like

to use as your Internet Connection and click IMPORT.

RESET

To restore the router to its factory settings, press and hold the RESET button on the side of the router for ten seconds. Reset returns the login to the DEFAULT PASSWORD found on the bottom of your router. This is useful if you have changed your WiFi security settings and can no longer access the internet.
