Wi-Fi 5 AC1200 wireless network, 3 gigabit Ethernet ports

The Huawei WA8021V5 utilizes the Wi-Fi 5 standard and can transmit wireless networks on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands simultaneously. It supports IEEE 802.11 b/g/n protocols in the 2.4 GHz band and IEEE 802.11 a/n/ac protocols in the 5 GHz band. The maximum theoretical throughput is 300 Mbps for the 2.4 GHz band and 867 Mbps for the 5 GHz band.

This speed is more than sufficient for most applications, allowing for fast file downloads and high-resolution online content streaming. The device is equipped with 3 gigabit Ethernet ports (10/100/1000 Mbps), and each of them can function as either WAN or LAN (with a maximum of 1 WAN port at a time).

Router mode

In this mode, the device operates as a standard wireless router, and the network needs to be connected via an Ethernet cable. The device features 3 gigabit Ethernet ports (10/100/1000 Mbps), and each port can function as either WAN or LAN. Upon connecting the internet source, it is automatically recognized. However, it's important to note that only a maximum of 1 WAN port can be used simultaneously.

The device broadcasts its own wireless network, to which you can connect after completing a brief initial configuration.

Range extender / bridge mode

In this mode, the device functions as a bridge and can extend the range of an existing wireless network. Connections can be established wirelessly or using an Ethernet cable. The Ethernet ports automatically detect the connection and operate as either WAN (Wide Area Network) or LAN (Local Area Network).

The device extends an existing Wi-Fi network to increase its coverage. WA8021V5 supports data roaming (802.11k/v) and Mesh network (roaming is utilized only if the main device also supports it). An additional advantage is the WPS button, allowing for quick configuration.
