The 5G Home Router 1A offers two networks for accessing the Internet over Wi-Fi: Primary and Guest.
Each network can be accessed over two bands: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz:
• The 2.4 GHz band is supported by all devices with Wi-Fi and should be used by devices that
are a few years old or older. This band passes through walls better, so it may have a longer
range.
• The 5 GHz band is best for newer devices. It offers better throughput and reduced
interference.
On the Web UI Home page, the Wi-Fi panel shows the current name (SSID) and state of primary and
guest networks. Click the eye icon to view the current passwords for each.
To manage settings for these networks, select > from the Home page Wi-Fi panel (or select

Follow any special rules and regulations and obey all signs and notices. Always turn off the host device
when instructed to do so, or when you suspect that it might cause interference or danger.
Do not operate your device in any area where a potentially explosive atmosphere might exist. Sparks in
such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Be aware and comply
with all signs and instructions.
Users are advised not to operate the device while at a refueling point or service station. Users are
reminded to observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and
distribution areas), chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly marked. Potential
locations can include gas stations, below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles
using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders, and any other area where you would normally be advised
to turn off your vehicle engine.
Do not operate your device in any area where medical equipment, life support equipment, or near any
equipment that might be susceptible to any form of radio interference. In such areas, the host
communications device must be turned off. The device can transmit signals that could interfere with
this equipment.
In addition to FAA requirements, many airline regulations state that you must suspend wireless
operations before boarding an airplane. Please ensure that the modem is turned off prior to boarding
aircraft in order to comply with these regulations. The modem can transmit signals that could interfere
with various onboard systems and controls.
The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate a wireless data device while in control of a vehicle.
Doing so will detract from the driver or operator’s control and operation of that vehicle. In some countries,

common carrier circuits though it can have gateways or bridges to other public or private
networks.
• MAC Address — Media Access Control. A number that uniquely identifies each network
hardware device. MAC addresses are 12-digit hexadecimal numbers. This is also known as the
physical or hardware address.
• Mbps — Megabits per second. The rate of data flow.
• MSID — Mobile Station IDentifier. A number for a mobile phone that identifies that phone to the
network. These numbers are carrier specific.
• Network Operator — The vendor who provides your wireless access. Known by different names
in different regions, some examples are: wireless provider, network provider, and service
provider.
• Network Technology — The technology on which a particular network provider’s system is built;
such as LTE or GSM.
• Port — A virtual data connection used by programs to exchange data. It is the endpoint in a
logical connection. The port is specified by the port number.
• Port Forwarding — A process that allows remote devices to connect to a specific computer
within a private LAN.
• Port Number — A 16-bit number used by the TCP and UDP protocols to direct traffic on a
TCP/IP host. Certain port numbers are standard for common applications.
• PRL — Preferred Roaming List. A list that your wireless phone or device uses to determine which
networks to connect with when you are roaming. (Network operator specific).
• Protocol — A standard that enables connection, communication, and data transfer between
computing endpoints.
• Proxy — A firewall mechanism that replaces the IP address of a host on the internal (protected)
network with its own IP address for all traffic passing through it.
• Router — A device that directs traffic from one network to another.
• SIM — Subscriber Identification Module. Found in LTE and GSM network technology, the SIM is
a card containing identification information for the subscriber and their account. The SIM card
can be moved to different devices.
• SSID — Service Set IDentifier. The name assigned to a Wi-Fi network.

• TCP/IP — Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. The set of communications
protocols used for the Internet and other similar networks.
• TTY — Text Telephones (TTY), also known as Telecommunications Device for the Deaf (TDD),
are used by the deaf, hard–of–hearing, and individuals with speech impairments to
communicate.
• UDP — User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is a communications protocol that offers a limited
amount of service when messages are exchanged between computers in a network that uses
the Internet Protocol (IP). UDP is an alternative to the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and,
together with IP, is sometimes referred to as UDP/IP
• USB — Universal Serial Bus. A connection type for computing device peripherals such as a
printer, mobile modem, etc. USB on the 5G Home Router 1A is not functional.
• USB Port Types — The USB ports on computers and hubs have a rectangular Type A socket,
and peripheral devices have a cable with a Type A plug. Peripherals that do not have an
attached cable have a square Type B socket on the device and a separate cable with a Type A
and Type B plug. Ports and connectors are available in different sizes (for example, standard,
mini, and micro).
• VPN — Virtual Private Network. A secure private network that runs over the public Internet.
Commonly used to connect to an office network from elsewhere.
• Wi-Fi — Wireless Fidelity. Any system that uses the 802.11 standard developed and released in
1997 by the IEEE.
• Wi-Fi Client — A wireless device that connects to the Internet via Wi-Fi.
• WPA/WPA2 — Wi-Fi Protected Access. A security protocol for wireless 802.11 networks from the
Wi-Fi Alliance.
