Product Features
Technical Overview
The R2105 operates on the IEEE 802.11ax wireless standard, delivering Wi-Fi 6 performance across both 2.4 GHz ISM and 5 GHz UNII bands for optimal coverage and throughput. Its cellular modem supports 5G networks alongside backward compatibility with LTE Advanced Pro, UMTS, and HSPA+, ensuring connectivity across diverse carrier deployments.
A single 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port with Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality provides high-speed wired connectivity while powering compatible devices like IP cameras or access points. Four internal antennas optimize signal strength without external protrusions, and the router's compact footprint allows for flexible installation in space-constrained environments.
Relevant factors for this section include Wi-Fi Generation, Network Band, Broadband Transmission Technology, Wireless LAN Standard. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
