Router wireless CradlePoint E300C-18B com NetCloud Enterprise Branch — Wi‑Fi 6 dual-band, 10GbE, 4G LTE, 5x RJ‑45

The CradlePoint wireless router E300C-18B with NetCloud Enterprise Branch is an enterprise-grade edge router designed for branch and distributed-site connectivity. It delivers dual-band Wi‑Fi 6 (2.4/5 GHz) wireless access with up to 10 Gbit/s WLAN throughput, integrated 10 Gigabit Ethernet, five RJ‑45 LAN ports and a USB port. Cellular backup is provided via LTE (TDD/FDD) for reliable failover and WAN diversity, and the router supports WPA2/WPA3 security. The device is compact and portable, intended for deployments that require secure, resilient WAN access and centralized management through the NetCloud Enterprise Branch subscription.

Advantages

The E300C-18B combines high-performance Wi‑Fi 6 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet to accommodate high-bandwidth applications and multiple concurrent users while maintaining low latency. Built-in cellular support enables automatic failover to LTE for continuous connectivity when primary WAN links are unavailable. NetCloud Enterprise Branch provides ongoing software updates, modem improvements, and 24×7 support to simplify lifecycle management. The router’s compact form factor and industry-focused design make it suitable for branch offices and distributed locations that require robust security and predictable performance.

How to use

Install the E300C-18B on a stable surface and connect the primary WAN link to the appropriate Ethernet interface. Attach LAN devices to the five RJ‑45 ports or connect devices via the integrated dual-band Wi‑Fi 6 access. If required, insert an activated LTE SIM to enable cellular backup; configure failover and routing policies via the NetCloud management console. Use the NetCloud Enterprise Branch subscription to apply firmware updates, manage security settings, monitor performance, and configure SSIDs, VLANs and firewall rules according to site requirements.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, place the router centrally within the coverage area and avoid physical obstructions near antenna locations. Configure WPA3 where supported for stronger wireless security, keep firmware and modem firmware updated via NetCloud, and test LTE failover periodically to verify backup connectivity. For deployments requiring the highest sustained throughput, ensure upstream WAN and LAN infrastructure support 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
