WE1326-V5 LTE Router

Router Overview:

The WE1326-V5 LTE Router is equipped with the MT7621A, the latest MediaTek processor.  The MT7621A Wi-Fi SoC Dual-core CPU boasts a powerful clock frequency up to 880 MHz MIPS® 1004KEc™.

The new SoC includes proven hardware support for Network Address Translation (NAT), Quality of Service (QoS), SAMBA, Virtual Private Network (VPN) and others routing and tunneling applications. It is ideal for high performance 802.11ac, LTE CAT3/4/6 modems, hotspots, VPN routers, NAS, AC (Access Point Controller) and smart routers. Moreover, the MT7621A applies low-power technology and fits into the WE1326’s design with good power dissipation.

The router provides for five (5) Gigabit Auto MDI/MDIX Ethernet ports, a Mini PCI-E (mPCI-e) slot for modems (i.e., MC7455), a SIM card slot, a USB 2.0 port, and a Micro SD card slot.

Internal 4G LTE antennas are included in this router.  External 4G LTE antenna may be added with slight modification to the plastic case (i.e., drilling holes for the SMA female bulkhead connectors).

See this LTE FIX IT tutorial for steps on building and configuring the router and modem.

Wireless (Wi-Fi) Overview:

The Wi-Fi supports IEEE802.11 AC/N/G/B/A protocol with a maximum wireless rate of 1200 Mbps.  It is equipped with four (4) removable 5dBi high gain Wi-Fi antennas for better coverage and performance in  large areas.

OpenWRT comes pre-installed on the WE1326 which may be upgraded to LEDE.  Custom builders and Customers alike are reporting great success and ease of installation with ROOter firmware.

Software Overview:

OpenWRT comes installed on the WE1326-V5 which may be easily upgraded to LEDE and other custom firmware to include our WiFiX custom version of GoldenOrb (aka, ROOter).

The Original SDK is based on the Linux platform SDK 4.2 which includes 802.11ac, IPv6, and Windows certification.  It provides VPN software, audio and touchscreen driver support. L7 QoS is accommodated by the internal hardware HNAT/HQoS accelerators, producing Auto QoS for internet and SMB router applications.
