Product Overview

The CradlePoint wireless router converts the 3G signal from your cellular network to a WiFi network you can use at home or on the road. Simply connect your 3G enabled device to the USB port and you have an instant, secure WiFi hotspot. The CradlePoint also accepts a standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable, so it can create a WiFi zone using your home internet connection, or using Ethernet cables available at work or in hotels.

Kit / Compatibility

Repeater Kits

You can improve the reception of your 3G data network using one of our cellular repeater kits. The repeater kit will improve data signal, increasing the internet speed if your CradlePoint WiFi hotspot.

Direct connect kits

The best direct connect kit is the Wilson 811201. This kit requires a special adapter cable, to plug directly into your phone or data card. This option provides the best coverage improvement, but is not compatible with all models.

A great option to cover both phones and data cards is the Wilson SignalBoost. This comes with a Velcro patch antenna which can connect to all modes of phones and data cards. It has the advantage of being able to by swapped quickly between phones or data cards.

Wireless kits

You an also use any of the wireless kits on our site to improve the performance of the CradlePoint router. More powerful wireless repeaters will increase the 3G speed, and place your repeater and router apart. The coverage area of the WiFi zone is dependant on the CradlePoint router, not the cellular repeater.

1- ExpressCards require a USB to ExpressCard Adapter.
2- 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.
3- Use of the Palm Centro requires Rev. 1.1 Hardware or use of an external USB hub.
4 - Requires an Express-To-USB adapter that provides 1.2 volts.
