By default the CN3300 is configured to:

Test the public access interface
To test your installation, use a wireless client station to log onto the
public access interface. (For this to work, the CN3300 must be
configured as the client’s default gateway. This is done by default if
the wireless client is using DHCP.)
Note:
By default, the CN3300 has radio 1 set to B/G mode, and radio 2 set
to Monitor mode (scanning only), therefore the wireless client station
must have either a B or G radio.
a.
Start the client station’s web browser and enter the IP address
(or domain name) of a web site on the Internet.
b.
The CN3300 should intercept the URL and display the Login
page. (Depending on the type of certificate that is installed on the
CN3300, you may see a security warning first.)
c.
Specify a valid customer name and password to login.
d.
The Session page will open.
