Router mode
The router accesses the 5G network via Gigabit Ethernet port, and then distributes To All Devices Connected For The 5G Networking
USB 3.1 port and Gigabit Ethernet Port Simultaneous Networking Mode*
Provides 5G network for two devices separately via USB3.1 port and Gigabit Ethernet port.
* Note: The 5G module needs to support the simultaneous conversion of USB port and Gigabit Ethernet port for networking. All 5G modules in the Compatible 5G Modules table can support this function, except for RM502Q-AE and RM520N-GL, which can only support one channel at a time.
Networking Example
Supports 5G networking via USB 3.1 interface and Gigabit Ethernet port at the same time*
Note: the 5G network speed will be shared if using laptop and Raspberry Pi to access 5G network at the same time
