To access (locally) the web admin page of a Cradlepoint you would need:

2. Computer

Step by step instructions: 

1. Connect your computer (DHCP) to the LAN Ethernet port or Wi-Fi network of the Cradlepoint device.
















2. Open up Chrome or Firefox web browser (Internet Explorer not recommended).

3. Enter: http://192.168.0.1 or http://cp/  into the address bar and press <Enter> on the keyboard.
Note: Cradlepoint CBA550 uses 192.168.5.1



















4. To login type in the user name and password.

Default user name: admin
Default password: listed on the device label (device label is located on the backside of the device)

  • Cradlepoints manufactured before December 2018 use the last 8 characters of the MAC address for default password.
  • Cradlepoints manufactured after December 2018 use the Serial Number for default password.

The password is case sensitive!

The same principle for the default password applies for the Cradlepoint Wi-Fi password.
