Getting Started
1. Connect the Router to a Modem / Data Source.
Keep the router in the OFF position until the modem is securely connected. Connect a CradlePoint
Business-Grade Modem, or a supported USB or ExpressCard modem to the router in their appropriate
port or slot. Your modem will require an active subscription from your service provider. If you have not
already done so, add a service plan to your Integrated Business-Grade Modem by contacting your
service provider. You will need the modem IMEI, ESN, or WiMAX MAC and SIM ID (LTE/EVDO and LTE/
HSPA+ versions only). Connect a Cable or DSL modem to the blue Ethernet WAN port (see page 4).
2. Connect the WiFi and Modem Antennas.
Attach the three included WiFi and optional modem antennas to the connectors. Antennas are jointed,
which enables you to position them for optimal WiFi broadcast. To attach, hold the antenna straight and
twist the base of the antenna to connect, folding the joint if needed. Please note that 2.4 GHz antennas are
provided. 5 GHz antennas are available as accessories.
3. Connect to a Power Source.
Connect the router to the provided power supply (12V DC Wall Adapter). When you ip the power switch
to the ON ( I ) position, watch for the appropriate modem LED to illuminate. Ensure the connected modem
LED is lit with a solid green light, which indicates that the modem is properly connected. For other LED
states, please see descriptions on page 11 and 12.

Getting Started (continued)
4. Connect to a Computer or other Network Equipment.
In order to access the MBR1400, establish a connection to the router. Connect wirelessly to the WiFi
broadcast, or with an Ethernet cable connected to your computer and then plugged into one of the
Orange Ethernet ports.
The default WiFi network name broadcast will be seen as “MBR1400-xxx”, where “xxx” is the last three
characters of your router’s MAC address, shown as SSID on the product label.
To connect to the WiFi, you will need to input the default password when prompted.
The default password is provided on the product label
found on the bottom of your router (see example below).
5. Use.
For most users, the MBR1400 Router can be used
immediately without any special conguration changes. If
you would like to change your network name, level of WiFi
security, etc. follow the First Time Setup Wizard steps on
page 9.
