Pakedge® WR-1 Wireless Router with BakPak® Lite
Introducing BakPak® Lite
BakPak Lite is designed to provide remote cloud monitoring and configuration to the WR-1 Wireless Router. Using BakPak, you can
remotely monitor and configure your customer’s WR-1 without having to roll a truck. In just a few clicks, register your WR-1 with your
new or existing BakPak account and configure secure remote access to your WR-1 using the built-in BakPak DDNS and VPN to start
managing your customer’s network remotely and securely.
BakPak features available with the WR-1 include:
• Remote monitoring and configuration for the WR-1 — Using your mobile
phone or the BakPak web interface, remotely configure WR-1 wireless settings,
including LAN and SSIDs, security profiles, and the guest network.
• Real-time alerts — Receive WR-1 online/oine status notifications through
text, email, and the BakPak app.
• Real-time and historical analytics — Monitor the health of the Internet
connection and speed tests with event logs. Select a date range to review
saved Internet speed tests and event logs for faster troubleshooting.
• Remote WR-1 reboot — Remotely power cycle the WR-1 to keep the network
running smoothly.
• Single BakPak dashboard — Monitor all of your customers’ networks under
“one virtual roof,” your BakPak dashboard. View your customers’ sites from a list view or geographic map view that shows the
health and location of each customer’s network.
