The First Time Setup Wizard will help you customize the name of your wireless network, change passwords to
something you choose, and establish an optimal WiFi security mode. The CTR35 comes with a unique password
creating built-in WiFi Security, which prevents unauthorized users from connecting to your WiFi network.

Then, select your TIME ZONE. Click NEXT.

5) STEP 2/4: CradlePoint recommends you customize your WiFi Network Name. Type in your personalized

Wireless Network Name here. You can also enable the Guest Network feature (see description on page 7).

Choose the WIFI SECURITY MODE that best fits your needs: POOR for WEP, GOOD for WPA/WPA2

and BEST for WPA2 Only. ( Make sure your PC or other devices support the mode you choose ).

Choose a personalized WIRELESS SECURITY PASSWORD. This password will be used to reconnect
your devices to the router once the security settings have been saved. Click NEXT.

6) STEP 3/4: If necessary, select your 4G WiMAX Realm. If you have a 3G or LTE modem, no selection
is necessary. Click NEXT.

Public WiFi networks aren’t very secure, but are generally free. The CTR35 can receive a WiFi signal and use it
to create internet access, allowing you to securely connect up to 16 devices using the CTR35’s security features.

Enable this feature by logging in to your router (see steps 1 & 2 on page 5) and switching to “Advanced Mode”
by clicking on “Basic Mode” box in the upper left corner of the Administration Interface. Then select

INTERNET

on the top navigation bar and then

WiFi as WAN Settings in the dropdown menu. Click ENABLED, then

REFRESH under Site Survey (wait a moment while the device scans). Select the WiFi network you’d like
to use as your Internet Connection and click

IMPORT.
