1Product Overview

Supported Features

The WS550 450Mbps Wireless Router (WS550 for short) is a high-speed wireless router

designed for home and small office use. This chapter describes the features supported by the

WS550.

Ethernet provides rugged stability, and with the WPS button, zero configuration is required

for connections to multiple devices.

Network range allows any device in a home to be connected with a transmission rate of up to

450Mbps.

A powerful firewall is provided with a flexible network configuration and quality of service

(QoS) strategy, enabling different home devices to enjoy high-speed and high-quality

broadband services.

Smart Wi-Fi coverage

When the WS550 is connected to Huawei wireless routers and repeaters that support the smart

Wi-Fi coverage feature, wireless parameters of these devices are automatically synchronized,

which simplifies user configuration. What's more, smart Wi-Fi coverage helps wireless devices

automatically detect and connect to the wireless router or repeater with the best signal

reception.

Easy configuration and management

Access the web management page from your computer, smart phone, or tablet to easily

configure WS550. You can also install the Huawei HiLink app on your smart phone or tablet to

manage your router.

High-Speed Ethernet Connectivity

The WS550 provides WAN ports for Ethernet-enabled devices to access the Internet at high

speeds.

Routing

The WS550 supports routing. It can obtain an IP address through PPP dial-up or Dynamic Host

Configuration Protocol (DHCP), which provides simultaneous access for multiple devices.

WLAN

The WS550 supports multiple WLAN protocols, including 802.11b/g/n (2.4 GHz). Adopting

802.11n multiple-input multiple-output antennas (MIMO) technology, the WS550 delivers a

wireless transmission rate of up to 450Mbps with its three antennas. In addition, the WS550

supports multiple wireless encryption modes to provide a secure, reliable, and high-speed WLAN.

Bandwidth Control

The WS550 supports bandwidth control and allocates bandwidth to different computers within

your home based on Internet access requirements. Your family can then access the Internet, play

online games, and watch videos without interfering with each other.

WDS Wireless Bridging

The wireless distribution system (WDS) function in wireless bridging mode enables you to set up

wireless connections between wireless routers to implement large-scale WLAN coverage.

Firewall

The powerful built-in firewall effectively protects against viruses and malicious attacks.

ARP Attack Protection

You can b undle an IP address and MAC address bi-directionally, which effectively protects your

LAN from Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) attacks.

Parental Controls

Parents can control their children's computer usage by placing time limits on usage duration or

forbidding access to certain websites.

Energy-saving

Automatic switch to energy-saving state when no service is detected, Wi-Fi function enabled

and disabled as scheduled.

Ports and Buttons

No. Item Description

1 LAN1～LAN4 Connects to Ethernet devices, such as computers, set-top boxes

(STBs), and switches.

2 WAN Connects to an Ethernet device that provides Internet access,

such as a modem or switch.

3 WPS/Reset WPS button: Press the WPS button to start Wi-Fi protected

setup (WPS) negotiation while the WS550 is powered on.

Reset button: Press Reset button (more than 6 seconds) to

restore to its default settings while the WS550 is powered

2Hardware Installation

Selecting an Installation Location

Place the WS550 on a well-ventilated even surface without exposure to direct sunlight. For the

best possible performance, take note of the following:

Make sure there are no obstacles, such as concrete or wooden walls, between the computer

and WS550.

Ensure that the computer and WS550 are far from electric appliances that generate strong

magnetic or electric fields, such as microwave ovens.

Connecting the WS550 on an Ethernet Broadband Network

If you have subscribed to the Ethernet Broadband, you can connect the WS550 to an Ethernet

port, so that multiple computers could access the Internet.

Connecting the WS550 on a DSL Broadband Network

If you have subscribed to digital subscriber line (DSL) broadband, you can connect the WS550 to

a telephone port for Internet access, so that multiple computers could access the Internet.

Installing the WS550 on a Cable Broadband Network

If you have subscribed to the cable broadband network, you can connect the WS550 to an

Ethernet port of a Cable Modem, so that multiple computers could access the Internet.

Connecting a Computer or Other Devices

When the WS550 had been accessed to the network normal, you can add the Laptop computer,

desktop computer, set-top box, pad, smart phone and other devices to the network.

Powering On
