Setting WiFi Security on your CradlePoint RouterWiFi security is highly recommended by CradlePoint. WiFi Security is separate from the User Login Page. Setting “WiFi Security” on your router prevents users from connecting their computers to your router unless they have your wireless security password.
Follow The Steps Below To Set The WiFi Security:1)Access your router administration page by opening your browser and typing http://192.168.0.1 in the address bar.
2)Click on the BASIC tab, click WIZARD, click NEXT.

5)Select your CONNECTION TYPE (USB Modem or Ethernet), click NEXT.
6)Configure security by selecting either ENABLE ADVANCED SECURITY CONFIGURATION or REQUIRE USER
7)When you select ENABLE ADVANCED SECURITY CONFIGURATION, you can rename your wireless network and select your security mode: GOOD for WEP, BETTER for WPA and BEST or WPA2. (Make sure your PC or other devices support the mode you choose.) Enter a personalized SECURITY PASSWORD.
8)Only select REQUIRE USER

You’ve now secured your CradlePoint router from unintended WiFi access.
1)If your USB data modem or phone is not working with the router, check the list of supported devices to ensure you are using a supported device and carrier. The device you’re using must be supported on the carrier network providing your cellular service or it’s considered an unsupported device, even if it is supported on another carrier’s network.
CradlePoint’s supported device list changes regularly. We update our supported device list after a device is certified and approved. If the device you have is NOT on the list, that means we do not support it at this time.
The SUPPORTED DEVICE list can be found at: cradlepoint.com/support/ctr350
2)Sometimes a USB data modem needs to be updated or have other configurations set correctly in order to make a connection through the router. If your USB Modem has not been updated recently, it is recommended that you do so if it is having trouble connecting to the CTR350. Simply insert your USB data modem into your PC and using the software provided by your cellular carrier, access the Internet. Follow the directions provided to complete the update. Once you have updated your USB data modem, reconnect the cellular device to your CradlePoint router and connect to the Internet.
If, after following the above directions, you are still unable to access the Internet, contact CradlePoint Technical Support for further assistance.
