Description

The WG3526 4G LTE router has been a great choice for custom builds and applications.

Comes with Stock manufacturer firmware. These are brand new unused units for sale.

NOTE: Cellular service providers may require activating a specific data plan to use on a cellular internet device.   The carriers are constantly updating and/or modifying existing cellular plans.   It is the customer’s sole responsibility to assure a compatible cellular plan is available prior to purchasing cellular related components.

WG3526 includes:

• 2 x U.FL to SMA Bulkhead Antenna Connector Pigtails (pre-installed)
• 2 x 4G LTE Antennas (600MHz – 2700MHz)
• 2 x 2.4GHz Antennas
• 2 x 5GHz Antennas
• 12 Volt Power Adapter
• 2 x Screws to mount Mini PCI-E modem or M.2 adapters
• Wall mounts, screws and lags
• Cat5e Ethernet Cable for basic router testing

The WG3526 requires a Standard (Full) sized SIM Card.  A SIM Card Adapter is generally required when using a Nano or Micro sized SIM card (i.e., from a phone or hotspot device) .

NOTE: The WG3526 is a NON-PoE version. It can be powered only via the included 110v to 12vdc wall power plug.

Hardware Overview:

The WG3526 is equipped with the MT7621, the latest MediaTek processor. The MT7621 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 WG3526’s design with good power dissipation.

The router provides for five (5) Gigabit Auto MDI/MDIX Ethernet ports, a Mini PCI-E (mPCIe) slot for modems, a SIM card slot, a USB 3.0 port, a Micro SD card slot, and a SATA 3.0 slot.

Wireless (Wi-Fi) Overview:

The WiFi 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 in large areas.

Note:  The WiFi capabilities on the WG3526 routers may be less than optimal for providing WiFi to a family with multiple devices.  While some find it sufficient, home installations for family/multiple users/devices, may discover the WG3526 is best used strictly as the modem/gateway (to provide the internet) and connected to a quality dual band (2.4/5GHz) WiFi router or Access Point to provide the WiFi component.  The WG3526 would be then be connected (via an Ethernet cable) from one of the LAN ports on the WG3526 to the WAN port on the WiFi router or Access Point.
