Next-Gen Connectivity
When 5G meets WiFi 6, they can boost larger bandwidth
and capacity than legacy solutions. These two cutting edge
technologies come together in the NR5101, bringing new
heights to performance and capacity for mobile users and
IoT devices in commercial buildings. NR5101 deploys AX1800
WiFi 6, which can deliver up to 4x the speed compared to
WiFi 5.
Multifunction Router, All Up to You
NR5101 is not only a simple network router, but it also
combines WLAN AP, LAN gateway, and USB 2.0 functions all
into one box. Its WiFi 6 can share up to 64 wireless devices
simultaneously. Operates both in bridge and router mode,
making the device easy to deploy and integrate into your
existing environment. NR5101 offers more than just 5G, the
variety of usages are entirely up to you!
Cutting-edge Connectivity
NR5101 is equipped with the cutting-edge 5G technology,
connections for downlink speeds can go up to 5 Gbps with
6 built-in 5G/LTE/3G antennas. Designed for those who
need a consistent high-speed connection when traditional
wired broadband is slow, spotty, or unavailable. Its WAN
failover capability ensures that you’ll have internet access
even during a network outage, which can make it serve as
a primary or backup option for internet access. Its external
antenna ports also allow you to improve signal reception.
Security without Compromise
Protect your smart building and workplace. When these
places are full of connected network devices, they become
possible entry points for cybercriminals. NR5101 is shipped
with essential security features!
• Multiple SSIDs/hide SSIDs
• NAT/NAPT firewall
• DoS attack detection
• WPA2 and WPA3
