The ZTE G5B2 is a powerful indoor 5G router designed for homes, small offices and locations where mobile 5G is used as the primary or alternative internet connection.
The router supports both 5G Standalone and Non-Standalone operation and can fall back to 4G LTE when required.
Integrated WiFi 6 operates simultaneously on 2.4 and 5 GHz. Maximum theoretical wireless speeds are up to 688 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 2882 Mbps on 5 GHz, providing an AX3600-class wireless network.
Up to 64 WiFi devices can be connected simultaneously.
Two Gigabit Ethernet ports are available for wired equipment. Depending on configuration, an Ethernet port can also be used for a fixed broadband WAN connection.
For locations with weaker cellular reception, two TS-9 connectors allow a suitable external 4G/5G antenna to be connected.
The router also provides an RJ11 telephone connection and USB-C port.
