Troubleshooting 

 

How do I setup WiFi security?

 

How do I update my firmware?*

 

My new card is not working when it is inserted in the router.

 

My WiFi enabled device cannot get past the CradlePoint Login page.

 

I keep getting a "Session Timeout Error" when I try to login.

 

I can connect to the router but I am not getting Internet.

 

* NOTE:  If you are upgrading your firmware to use a WiMAX/4G Modem, you MUST update the firmware for the router first, and then the modem driver second, in order to experience the full WiMAX/4G speed.

1- The user experience with devices running Windows Mobile is less robust than other phones and modems. Windows Mobile devices connected to either a PC or a CradlePoint router have exhibited erratic behavior while using data sharing capabilities. Issues include frequent disconnects for no apparent reason and remedies entail frequent rebooting the phone and or removing the phone's battery. This problem is not something that can be resolved by CradlePoint Technology and will need to be addressed by the phone manufacturer. Please refer to our release notes.

2 - These modems can take up to 2.5 minutes to make a data connection. In our tests, they appear to spend a long time attempting to get a signal before they can make a data connection. The Ultra seems to connect more quickly in our tests. Note that the the Ultra Express' performance in the router is not as good as in the PC. This modem works with the router, but if you have a choice any of the other GSM modems such as the Novatel or Sierra Wireless are more compatible.

3 - Blackberry Devices running the 5.0 Version of Blackberry Operating System are known to have problems connecting to CradlePoint routers. It is recommended that users wanting to connect or “tether” to a CradlePoint router with their Blackberry device use the 4.x or earlier Blackberry Operating Systems.
