Settings
The settings menu consists of three main menus named Basic Settings, Advanced Settings, and System Settings.
Basic
- Management
The default password is admin. You can enter 1~32 characters for 2 times as your new password. Then you would log out automatically, and you should log in to the system with the new password. And you can click the “Restore” button to load default to the default factory settings and click the Reboot button to reboot the device.
- LAN Settings
Clicking on the “LAN Settings” tab will take you to the “LAN Settings” header page. On this page, all settings for the internal LAN setup of the CPE orr outer can be viewed and changed.
- IP Address – Enter the IP address of your router (factory default: 192.168.0.1).
- Subnet Mask – An address code that determines the size of the network. Normally, you use 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask.
- DHCP – Enable or Disable the DHCP server. If you disable the Server, you must have another DHCP server within your network, or else you must configure the address of your PC manually.
- Start IP Address – Specify an IP address for the DHCP server to start with when assigning IP addresses. The default start address is 192.168.0.2.
- End IP Address – Specify an IP address for the DHCP Server to end with when assigning an IP address. The default end address is 192.168.0.254.
- Lease Time – The Lease Time is the amount of time a network user will be allowed to connect to the router with their current dynamic IP address. Enter the amount of time in minutes, and the user will be “leased” this dynamic IP address. After the time is up, the user will be assigned a new dynamic IP address automatically.
- Static IP – IP/MAC binding function, the system will assign a fixed IP address to the MAC according to the rules.
Note:
- If you change the IP Address of the LAN, you must use the new IP address to log in to the CPE router.
- If the new LAN IP address you set is not in the same subnet, the IP address pool of the DHCP server will change at the same time, while the Virtual Server and DMZ Host will not take effect until they are re-configured.
- Software Upgrade
On this page, you can upgrade the current Router version and LTE Version from the local PC. 180 seconds are needed to complete the whole upgrade process, and then the device will reboot automatically.
- Remote Upgrade
After the device detects the new router and LTE version from the Web server, the device will upgrade the new version automatically, or the device will upgrade the new version after you click the Upgrade button.
- Automatic Reboot
On this page, you can set automatic restarts at one time per day, weekly, or monthly.

- Follow the APP instructions to complete the settings and testing
VPN
A virtual private network (VPN) is a point-to-point connection across a private or public network (Internet).
VPN Passthrough allows the VPN traffic to pass through the router. Thereby, we can establish VPN connections to a remote network. For example, VPNs allow you to securely access your company’s intranet at home. There are three main kinds of VPN tunneling protocols: PPTP, IPSec, L2TP, and GRE.
Note: VPN Passthrough does not mean the router can create a VPN endpoint. VPN Passthrough is a feature that allows VPN traffic created by other endpoints to “pass through” the router.
Security
- MAC Filtering
This function is a powerful security feature that allows you to specify which wireless client users are not allowed to surf the Internet.
The default MAC filter setting is disabled, so you should enable it before you begin to configure the filter. The n Click the Add New ” button, and you can configure the rules you like.
Default Policy: The packets that don’t match any rules would be Allow/Deny”. If you choose the Allow button here, the MAC address that you add would be dropped. Otherwise, only the MAC addresses on the rule table can be accepted.

- IP/Port Filtering
From this page, you can configure the IP/ Port filter to forbid relevant users from logging into the router device.
The default IP/Port filter setting is disabled, so you should enable it before you begin to configure the filter. Then, clicking the “Add New” button, you can configure the settings you like (Figure 4 4 2 2 3).
Default Policy: The packets that don’t match any rules would be dropped/Accepted. If you choose “Dropped” here, the action of the new rule would be “Accept”. Otherwise, the action turns to be “Drop” and the packet that doesn’t match any rules would be accepted.
- Dest IP Address: The IP address of a website that you want to filter (Such as Google 74.125.128.106).
- Source IP Address: The IP address of the PC. (Such as 192.168.0.2).

Asiatelco PW550 ATEL 5G CPE Indoor Fixed Wireless Access Router- FAQs
What is a 5G CPE router?
It’s a device that converts a 5G/4G cellular signal from a SIM card into a Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet network for your home or office, providing internet without a fixed line.
Do I need a special SIM card?
Yes, you need an active data SIM card from a mobile provider with a 5G/4G data plan. It goes into the SIM slot on the router.
Where should I place the router for the best signal?
Near a window is ideal for the best 5G reception. Avoid basements, thick walls, and other electronics that can cause interference.
How do I reset the router?
Press and hold the recessed Reset button with a pin for about 10 seconds until the lights restart. This will restore all factory settings.
Can I use it as a regular router with Ethernet cables?
Yes. It has Ethernet (LAN) ports to provide a stable wired internet connection to devices like computers, game consoles, or smart TVs.
How many devices can connect at once?
It is designed to support multiple devices simultaneously (e.g., 20+). Performance for each device may vary based on your 5G signal strength and data plan.
Is the Wi-Fi password printed somewhere?
Yes. The default Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password are printed on the product label on the bottom or back of the router itself.
Why is my internet connection slow?
This can be due to a weak 5G signal (reposition the router), network congestion from your provider, or you may have reached your data plan’s high-speed limit.
Can it replace my cable broadband?
Yes, if you have a strong and consistent 5G signal in your area. It is an excellent primary solution for areas without fiber or cable, or as a reliable backup connection.
