HUAWEI Router WS5200 Product Description 2 Functions and Features 2.1 Automatically identifying Internet access mode The router can automatically identify your Internet access mode (PPPoE/DHCP). No manual operation is required. NOTE PPPoE, DHCP, static IP, and bridge are the most commonly used Internet access modes and are all supported by HUAWEI Router WS5200. 2.2 Learning the Internet settings of old routers  Supports obtaining the broadband account and password from your old router without manual input. Especially when you forget your broadband account or password, you can copy them from your old router to access the Internet.  Supports the cloning of your old router's MAC address. When broadband is enabled, some service providers will bind your broadband account to a MAC address to limit the number of Internet devices, and only allow bound devices to access the Internet. To resolve this issue, the MAC address cloning feature allows the router to use the MAC address of a bound device to access the Internet. 2.3 Multi-router network distribution  Supports network expansion by connecting multiple HUAWEI HiLink routers using the HiLink button.  Supports network expansion by connecting multiple HUAWEI HiLink routers using Ethernet cables.  Supports the auto-sync of your router's Wi-Fi configurations: If the Wi-Fi name, password, or router management password is changed on your primary router, the configuration will automatically sync to the others HUAWEI HiLink routers.  If there are multiple routers in your home, your Wi-Fi device will be automatically switched to a better-performing router. 01 (2018-01-26) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 6 Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.

HUAWEI Router WS5200 Product Description 2.4 Connecting to your old router (through wired bridge or wireless repeater mode) to form a network  You can use an Ethernet cable to cascade HUAWEI Router WS5200 to an old router and form a network. In this case, HUAWEI Router WS5200 works as the secondary router.  HUAWEI Router WS5200 can also connect to your old router's Wi-Fi as a wireless repeater. When it functions as a wireless repeater, it has the same Wi-Fi name and password as your old router. There will be only one Wi-Fi network in your home. NOTE If you have two HUAWEI routers that support HUAWEI HiLink, using HUAWEI HiLink to connect the two routers will be more convenient. 2.5 Ensuring privacy with multiple security mechanisms  HUAWEI Router WS5200 controls Wi-Fi access and disconnects unwanted devices to prevent unauthorized access.  It supports guest Wi-Fi. You can set up a dedicated Wi-Fi network for your guests. Guests have access to the guest Wi-Fi but cannot manage the router or access other devices on the home network. This allows you to protect the security and privacy of your home network.  You can hide your Wi-Fi name to improve network security. If a Wi-Fi name is hidden, wireless devices (like PCs and mobile phones) cannot search for the Wi-Fi name. To connect a wireless device to a hidden Wi-Fi network, you must enter the correct Wi-Fi name.  The built-in firewall can protect you from DoS/ARP attacks by scanning all data communication between the Internet and your home network.  It supports DMZ feature that allows you to expose the DMZ host to the Internet, while other devices are protected by the firewall. For example, when setting up a server, you can set the computer connected to the external network as the DMZ host to allow it to provide Internet services while ensuring the security of other devices on your home network. 2.6 Power-saving features  The router supports three different power modes: Wall (highest power consumption), Standard, and Sleep (lowest power consumption) to cater to your different needs at different time of the day and in different environments.  Wi-Fi timer allows you to disable Wi-Fi during specific time periods (such as after midnight or when you're at work) in order to reduce power consumption. 2.7 Parental control The parental control feature allows you to set Internet access time limits and restrict access to certain websites to keep your family members (especially minors) protected. 01 (2018-01-26) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 7 Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.

HUAWEI Router WS5200 Product Description 2.8 Router management You can access your router's web-based management page from your computer, mobile phone or tablet. Alternatively, you can download and install HUAWEI SmartHome app on your mobile phone or tablet for faster configuration. 2.9 Supporting VPN passthrough Supports VPN passthrough (requires VPN dialing from LAN device). 2.10 Other supported features  NAT and NAPT (RFC 1631, RFC 2663, RFC 2766, and RFC 3022)  DHCP server and clients  DNS proxy Proxy for DNS queries from its connected devices to speed up DNS responses.  DDNS proxy The router will associate its dynamic WAN IP to a fixed domain name. This allows you to use a fixed domain name to access the router's services over the Internet instead of having to manually check the WAN IP address of the router each time.  Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) Computers in the LAN can request the router to automatically switch the port. This allows computers connected to the Internet to access the resources on any LAN computers when needed, allowing you to enjoy a more stable network while playing computer games or using apps to download files. 01 (2018-01-26) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 8 Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
