MODEM SUPPORT & UPDATES (FIRMWARE)

CradlePoint regularly makes new modem support and performance enhancements available for our products in a software package called “firmware”. Updating firmware ensures your CBR400/CBR450 is ready for today and tomorrow’s technology.

To Update Your Firmware, Follow The Steps Below:

Connect your computer to the CBR via its WiFi network broadcast or an Ethernet cable.

Open a browser window and type “192.168.0.1” in the address bar. PRESS ENTER/RETURN.

Enter your password to login. Your unique password is the administrator password you set earlier or the default password found on the bottom label (last 8 characters of the MAC Address).

Select SYSTEM SETTINGS on the top navigation bar, then SYSTEM SOFTWARE in the drop down menu.

Find the FIRMWARE UPGRADE section. This will display the current firmware version that is installed and indicate if updated firmware is available.

Click AUTOMATIC (Internet) if new firmware is available. The router will download and install the firmware and automatically reboot itself. A status monitor will appear and indicate when this process is complete. This process may take several minutes depending on your internet connection speed.

If your router does not have an active internet connection (ie: modem not working on older firmware) you will need to download the latest firmware from www.cradlepoint.com to your desktop, then use MANUAL FIRMWARE UPLOAD option.
