wifi on amtrak

i haven’t been able to get too much info, but i can definitely tell you that the wireless devices aboard the downeaster maine to beantown are cradlepoint hardware

facts i’ve proven about them:
192.168.0.1
192.168.0.2 –>both of these ips are considered default by this page: http://www.marinetelecom.net/Cradlepoint-MBR1000.htm (which also suggests the last six of the mac address in lower case as login password)
also the internal router page had something about a local chat that i couldn’t figure out with my jlime jornada 690 (was 680e that has been chip-upgraded)
routing doesnt appear consistent: what is my ip said 173.114.72.107 but an nmap scan said nothing open and a traceroute -n showed my first hop beyond the 0.1 being 68.28.121.85 which seemed strange to me. i dont claim to un derstand high level routing so i suppose its possible but just stuck out as strange

guesses:
everything i’ve seen points to EVDO technology
potentially changed default passwds
ESSIDs follow pattern of “Downeaster 3” and “Downeaster 12” (only ones i saw)…3 was running on channel 9
