Tabletop router ZTE G5C Dual Band Wi‑Fi 802.11ac (Wi‑Fi 6 AX1800, NanoSIM, 2×Gigabit LAN, USB-A)

ZTE G5C is a tabletop dual-band router that supports Wi‑Fi 6 (AX1800) while maintaining compatibility with 802.11ac devices. It includes a built-in processor (Qualcomm SDX55-1-AA + QCA6391), integrated antennas with up to 4 dBi gain, a NanoSIM slot for mobile 4G/5G connection, two gigabit RJ45 LAN ports and an Ethernet WAN port, a USB‑A port, and onboard firewall and VPN (PPTP / L2TP) functions. The device is powered from AC (110–240 V, 50–60 Hz) and is intended for tabletop use with LED indicators and a compact footprint.

Advantages

The router provides dual‑band Wi‑Fi 2.4/5 GHz with Wi‑Fi 6 AX1800 performance and backward compatibility with 802.11ac, enabling higher throughput and improved capacity in mixed device environments. Built‑in mobile modem support via NanoSIM allows fallback or primary connection over 4G/5G networks. Two Gigabit LAN ports and a Gigabit Ethernet WAN support wired high‑speed connections, while integrated antennas and USB‑A expand connectivity without external antenna hardware. Management is possible through a web interface or a dedicated app, and features such as QoS, firewall, VPN passthrough and port forwarding allow basic network control and security.

Suitable for

• Home internet access with mixed Wi‑Fi 6 and older devices
• Small office or home office networking
• Locations needing a mobile 4G/5G backup or primary WAN via NanoSIM
• Wired devices requiring gigabit Ethernet connections

How to use

Place the router on a stable tabletop surface in a central position for best wireless coverage and connect the supplied AC adapter to mains power. Insert a NanoSIM if using mobile 4G/5G as WAN, or connect an Ethernet cable to the WAN port for fixed‑line internet. Use the web interface or the dedicated application to complete initial setup, configure Wi‑Fi SSIDs, security settings, QoS rules, and VPN or firewall options. Connect wired devices to the Gigabit LAN ports and attach USB devices to the USB‑A port as required.

Recommendations

Do not open the device housing — risk of electric shock. For optimal performance place the router away from large metal objects and other sources of wireless interference; keep firmware updated via the web interface or app and use WPA3/WPA2 security where available.
