It's a good idea to set up your router's wireless network name and password so that nearby users can't use your connection without your knowledge. It is fairly easy to do, but for those who want their router already configured when it arrives, we can set up your router with the network name and password of your choice before shipping for $15.-->

The MBR1200 has reached "end of life" and is no longer available. There are a variety of other routers available, including the affordable Cradlepoint MBR1200B. To view and compare ALL the available routers, use our Router Advisor.

This router uses Cradlepoint's legacy platform; their newer routers (the MBR1400, MBR95, CTR35, CBR400, CBR450) use the NetBSD platform. The NetBSD platform is easier to use, was created with 4G LTE/WiMAX in mind, and features improvements in modem reliability. The legacy routers will continue to be supported/updated for another year, but for long-term support you may want to consider one of the BSD routers.

MBR1200 Details:

ALWAYS CONNECTED:
The Cradlepoint MBR1200 is a robust 802.11n router with 3G/4G failover capabilities. Built for home, small business, branch office, temporary and remote enterprise environments seeking to implement continuous, always-on connectivity.

With its failover/failback capability, the MBR1200 automatically switches to a secondary connection (either wired or wireless) when your primary service is interrupted. Once your service is restored, the MBR1200 will automatically failback to the primary connection - keeping your business online with minimal interruption to users.

VPN: SECURE AND RELIABLE:
The high-performance MBR1200 has the capability to create, manage, and terminate multiple IPSec VPN sessions. It provides up to five concurrent sessions, supporting transfer and tunnel modes and several Hash and Cipher algorithms. These encryption protocols protect your communications from one private network to another from end-to-end.

Date Added: 02/10/2012 by YEONG L. (Fort Lee, NJ)
It is a excellent product for out company project. and I like it. but when I use this with VPN feature on DSL and Mobile broadband. I want to use DSL static WAN with VPN and use web sufing with Mobile broadband. Other feature is vary good for me. Thanks

Date Added: 01/26/2012 by Bobby P. (Hattiesburg, MS)
The device works great! It only took me about ten minutes to set up and get going. It handles three phones and an iPad with no problems. We even add a few computers and a printer occasioinaly, with no issues. We are satisfied with the product, and with the technical guidance we received before the purchase.

Date Added: 01/03/2012 by Ken T. (Louisa, VA)
Product is working great, but was really impressed with the customer service and the tech support...you guys are doing something right...keep it up!

Date Added: 09/18/2011 by Harold S. (Orange, CA)
This is a replacement for an old Linksys, I would highly recommend this unit ease of set up and strong signal make it good for the fringe area I us it in.

Date Added: 09/12/2011 by Rita B. (Brighton, MI)
We live in an area with very little cell phone signal and no DSL or cable internet. This router, combined with a roof-mounted antenna, amplifier, and repeater, has made our home wireless throughout and gives me trouble-free internet access. It is very intuitive and easy to use. Kudos to 3Gstore.com for setting us up with the right equipment to get the job done.

Date Added: 08/27/2011 by Hadrien P. (Valence, Drôme)
Very good product, the only lack is a WAN connection through Wifi

3Gstore Comments:
You can do a WAN connection through WiFI with any of the newer NetBSD routers from CradlePoint (CTR35, MBR95, CBR400, MBR1400, etc)

Date Added: 08/08/2011 by Gretchen T. (Houston, TX)
I haven't had them for very long, but so far a great replacement to what we were using. What a device more features than I need, but would rather have more than not enough. We are using these on towboats using ATT USB modems, but with the ability to use any carrier and any style of card makes this a great device.

Date Added: 08/08/2011 by Nicole S. (Leander, TX)
I've had this set up for about a month now. It was easy to set up and configure and has been reliable since then. I have a PC5750 card and it works better now than with my old Linksys 3G router.

Date Added: 07/22/2011 by Tod H. (Norman, OK)
I bought the mbr1200 to have the external antenna connections but the range is great without the external antenna (app 100 yards thru walls trees etc) as far as hooking it up the only problem was dyslexia reading the password, as soon as I correctly typed in the password everything went smoothly
