7.4 WiFi as WAN Settings (Advanced Mode only)
When WiFi as WAN is enabled and configured the router will use a remote WiFi access point for internet connectivity. In
other words, external WiFi—from a hotel for example—can be used as the internet source for your own private network.
When enabled in the WiFi as WAN Settings page, the MBR95 will find possible WiFi sources that you can select and add.
Unless the WiFi source is on an unprotected network, you will need to know the password or key.
All CradlePoint routers and some other routers use the same default IP address, 192.168.0.1. If you attempt to set up
WiFi as WAN and there is an ―IP conflict,‖ you need to change the IP address. The router is attempting to use the same IP
address for both WAN and LAN, which is impossible. Go to
Network Settings → Local Network. In the ―LAN Settings‖
section you can change the IP address. For example, you might change 192.168.
0.1 to 192.168.1.1.
Saved Profiles:
This is a list of WiFi networks that have already
been configured as WAN sources. The router will
attempt to connect to any of these access points
using the password you have configured. If more
than one access point is in range, then the router
will connect with the highest priority network.
