Cradlepoint CBR400 Business-Series Portable Router w/ WiFi as WAN
Firmware 3.4.0

The CradlePoint CBR400 is a highly-featured router designed for business travel and stationary remote internet access. The router supports internet access via 3G/4G mobile broadband networks as well as traditional wired networks such as DSL or Cable.

With its compact size, the CBR400 is ideal for travel or use in a small enclosure (ATM, kiosk, vehicle). With failover/failback capability, the CBR400 supports multiple combinations of wired or wireless internet. The router increases internet availability and business continuity by detecting network failures and automatically switching over to the other network(s).

The CBR400 provides secure and reliable VPN functionality, allowing users to create, manage and terminate an IPSec VPN session. It allows for secure access to company networks while travelling and a secure way to transmit sensitive data to and from a remote site.

If you're using this router to connect to a hotspot device (e.g. MiFi, iPhone hotspot, etc), place that device as close as possible to your router for best results.

Features:

Wireless Internet Access:

• Supports multiple combinations of Internet access, including 3G/4G wireless broadband as well as wired access (DSL/Cable)
• Supports most wireless data modems from the leading carriers (modem and service sold separately)

Device Connectivity:

• Wireless “N” WiFi (802.11 b/g/n)
• Supports up to 16 WiFi connections at a time
• Two SSIDs (to separate owner and guest connections)
• Ethernet LAN/WAN port for non-WiFi devices or landline internet

Security:

• WEP, WPA, WPA2 and AES encryption for secure WiFi
• SPI Firewall and NAT (Network Address Translation) to prevent unwanted access to connected computers
• Variety of security features (URL filtering, traffic filtering, DMZ, virtual server, port forwarding) for safer internet access.

Reliability:

• Modem Health Management (MHM) monitors connectivity of 3rd-party USB modems. MHM provides tiers of recovery mechanisms, starting with software resets and escalating to hardware reset and full power cycle of modem as necessary.

Flexibility:

• Supports pass-through VPN connections (IPSec, L2TP, PPTP) to enable laptops with a VPN client to connect through the router to corporate networks.
• “WiFi-as-WAN” mode enables use as a WiFi repeater or as a WiFi-to- Ethernet adapter for non-WiFi devices.
• Ethernet port can be configured to “WAN Mode” to create a WiFi hotspot from a wired internet connection
• Network Failover support. When a wired internet source (DSL, Cable Modem) is connected to the ethernet port, the CBR400 will automatically detect an internet outage and switch to the wireless 3G/4G internet.
