CRADLEPOINT MBR1400 USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1

8.3 Hotspot Services

Any of your networks can be enabled as a hotspot. To enable a hotspot, you need to select a network and set it as a hotspot in Network Settings → WiFi / Local Networks.

NOTE: Although any network can be a hotspot, the MBR1400 allows only one hotspot.

Enable Hotspot Services: Disabled by default. Click Enabled to activate Hotspot options.

Hotspot Mode: Choose from the following dropdown options:

∙Simple: Allows ―Terms of Use‖ page and timeout settings controlled within the router.

∙RADIUS/UAM: Allows you to set up external authentication servers.

Local IP Network: A single LAN Group—including both WiFi and Ethernet—can be configured as your hotspot. If you do not already have a LAN Group configured as a hotspot, go to the WiFi / Local Networks page (you can click Configure to link to this page) and set the Routing Mode to "Hotspot" for the LAN Group you want to use.

NOTE: Routing Mode is in the Local Network Editor under the IP Settings tab. Select a network in Network Settings → WiFi / Local Networks

and click Edit to open the Local Network Editor. The IP Settings tab will already be open: the Routing Mode dropdown menu is at the bottom.

Allow Service on 3G/4G Modems: Allows you to enable or disable hotspot access to the Internet over a modem. This is often used if the router has a main wired link and a secondary modem for failover (typically with a more expensive/limited data plan). Select this option if you want the router to allow data traffic over the modem if the wired connection goes down.

Redirect HTTPS Requests: This allows initial requests to HTTPS websites to be redirected appropriately.

Hotspot/UAM Authentication Port: Default: 8000. Type in a different port number, or use the slider to change the port.
