The Cradle Point MBR1200 is a robust 802.11n router with 3G/4G failover capabilities. With its failover/failback capability, the MBR1200 automatically switches to a secondary connection (either wired or wireless) when your primary service is interrupted. Once your service is restored, the MBR1200 will automatically failback to the primary connection - keeping your business online.VPN: Secure and Reliable The high-performance MBR1200 has the capability to create, manage, and terminate multiple IPSec VPN sessions. It provides up to ten concurrent sessions, supporting transfer and tunnel modes and several Hash and Cipher algorithms.

This review is from: Failsafe Gigabit N Router for Mobile Broadband (Personal Computers)
After reading reviews on the Cradlepoint 1200 and reading through the manual on the Cradlepoint web site, I was positively enthused by the capabilities of this device to provide load balancing and fail over between the two wired and two wireless (3G/4G) connections at my location. The feature set is rich, the capabilities extensive, and the support for latest generation wireless modems top notch.
Once I received the router and started playing around with it, I discovered that the reality was quite disappointing compared to my expectations. Some key challenges that others may find useful:
- I can't get either a Verizon (LG VL600) or AT&T (LG AD600) wireless modem to work reliably despite having the latest firmware and both modems being listed on the supported modems list. I can get connected, but the connection usually drops almost immediately and occasionally stays up but doesn't pass traffic. I've attempted to contact Cradlepoint technical support, but their...Read more

I have the MBR1200 by cradlepoint. I needed to have this particular device due to having a PCMCIA aircard. The device is extremely easy to configure. Allows for B/G/N wireless networking with 4 onboard 10/100/1000 ethernet ports. Has the ability to failover or load balance between WAN connections. I have not had a chance to try this, but will hopefully be borrowing neighbors USB airmodem to try this out. The VPN will only allow Device to Device tunneling, not software driven so that you could connect an outside single PC to a VPN connection using a PC client. I was under the assumption this would work but it is not a deal breaker. I did have a problem with one laptop connecting wirelessly. I did multiple things to troubleshoot the device but had no luck. What would happen is the laptop would connect and browse the LAN fine, but if I tried browsing the web or outside the LAN it would timeout. I finally got an external USB wifi adapter and this solved the issue. The internal...Read more

Works as advertised but poor documentation, May 13, 2010

If you are familiar with wireless networking and routers, you will be able to make this baby work without too much effort. However, if this is your first router you will likely have a very hard time. The device comes with just a quick start guide of two pages. Not even a CD like Linksys does it. If you are nevertheless able to access the internet, you will find that exactly the same quick start guide is also the only official documentation on the Cradlepoint homepage. The homepage additionally has a FAQ section, which seems to be the only available and useful information beyond the two-pager. The advanced user will find himself also browsing this FAQ because some of the advanced features, specific only to this device, like load-balancing, can hardly be understood by experimenting. Since this router is otherwise a very well done and sophisticated piece of equipment (provided you understand all the menu options on your on) it seems just cheap and unprofessional from Cradlepoint not to...Read more
