Your Upgrade to Gigabit Speed: 5G for Home
No more slow internet! The Cudy P4 is designed as a powerful 4G / 5G Router to provide your household with the next generation of internet speed. Thanks to the state-of-the-art Qualcomm Snapdragon X62 modem, which supports the 3GPP Release 16 standard, you are ready for the future. Whether you are moving large amounts of data in the home office, streaming in 4K quality, or want to enjoy lag-free online gaming – the P4 delivers the performance you need. Simply insert a Nano-SIM card and experience how uncomplicated and fast your internet access can be.
Maximum Connection Security with WAN Failover
The Cudy P4 is more than just a mobile router; it is an intelligent and fail-safe Network solution. One of the three Gigabit Ethernet ports can be configured as a WAN port. Connect your existing DSL or fiber optic connection here and use it as the primary internet source. Should this connection fail, the P4 automatically and seamlessly switches to the 5G/4G mobile connection. This way, you always stay online – perfect for business-critical applications and anyone who needs to rely on a stable connection.
Wi-Fi 6 and Cudy Mesh: The Power Duo for Your Home Network
While the 5G connection provides high-speed internet access, the P4, as a modern WiFi Router, distributes the signal with Wi-Fi 6 (AX3000) lightning fast throughout your home. Technologies like OFDMA and MU-MIMO ensure that many devices can be supplied simultaneously without loss of efficiency – up to 256 clients are possible. The range of up to 170 meters is impressive, but if that's not enough: The P4 is Cudy Mesh-capable. Simply expand your Network with additional Cudy Mesh points and create seamless WiFi coverage throughout the house.
Full Control and Security with Comprehensive VPN Options
For security-conscious users and professional users, the Cudy P4 offers exceptionally broad support for VPN protocols. Set it up as a VPN server or client and use modern and secure protocols like WireGuard, OpenVPN, IPSec and more. Protect your privacy, bypass geo-blocking, or establish a secure connection to your company network – all directly via the intuitive web interface or the Cudy App. This makes the P4 the ideal choice if you want to buy a 5G Router for home that also meets professional demands.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I replace my slow DSL connection with the Cudy P4?
Yes, absolutely. The Cudy P4 is ideally designed to provide a fast internet connection via the 5G or 4G mobile network. With good 5G reception, speeds can be achieved that are far beyond those of a typical DSL connection, making it an excellent alternative or primary internet access for home.
Do I need an external Antenna to operate the Cudy P4?
Not necessarily. The router has six internal mobile Antennas. However, if you are in an area with a weak or unstable mobile signal, you can connect an external 5G/4G antenna via the two SMA connectors to significantly improve reception and stability.
Is the Cudy P4 suitable for online gaming and 4K streaming?
Yes. Thanks to the powerful processor, high 5G download rates, and fast Wi-Fi 6 standard, the router offers low latencies and high bandwidths. These are ideal conditions for demanding applications such as lag-free online gaming and smooth streaming of 4K content.
What does WAN failover mean and how does it work with the Cudy P4?
WAN failover is a backup function. You can configure one of the Ethernet ports as a WAN port and connect your router to a fixed broadband line (e.g., DSL, fiber optic). Should this primary connection fail, the Cudy P4 automatically switches to the 5G/4G mobile connection to ensure uninterrupted internet access.
Can I integrate the Cudy P4 into a mesh network?
Yes, the Cudy P4 is compatible with Cudy Mesh technology. It can function as the main router in a mesh system and work with other Cudy Mesh-enabled devices to create seamless and comprehensive Wi-Fi coverage in larger apartments or houses.
What SIM card size is required for the Cudy P4?
The router uses a Nano-SIM card, the smallest available SIM card size.
