Overview:

The Cradlepoint MBR 1000 wireless router provides a failsafe that keeps users connected when the land line becomes unconnected. It automatically switches from DSL, Cable or T1 to wireless internet connection when service is interrupted. It switches back to the land line as soon as it’s restored.

This premium wireless router is perfect for small businesses or households that need to be connected to the internet at times. Set up with the MBR 100 is easy. There’s no software to install. Computers can connect to the internet using one of the four LAN ports for a wired connection or through the WiFi connection.

The security features on the MBR1000 are strong, providing a secure link when connected to the router. Its basic security requires a password through the computer’s web browser in order to connect to the internet.  The administrator user interface on the router is simple because it uses a setup wizard that configures level of security, station ID and time zone.

WiPipe technology makes the MBR1000 better because it includes many features found in expensive, enterprise-class routers. When using the router, WiPipe recognizes that video streaming and gaming take up more bandwidth, so it allocates more space to those tasks, keeping up the speed without suffering lag in service.

The MBR 1000 also helps homes and businesses that want to set up a network. Large file transfers like movies and graphic files are transferred quickly and easy when connected on the MBR 1000. The Cradlepoint MBR 1000 requires a third party modem which access the internet.
