Your Internet Anchor: The Weatherproof 5G Router with PoE
No more slow internet in rural or poorly served areas. The Zyxel FWA710 has been specially developed for outdoor use to provide you with an extremely stable and fast internet connection via the 5G or 4G Network. Thanks to its IP68 certification, it is absolutely dustproof and protected against all weather, from heavy rain to snowstorms. The extended operating temperature range of -40°C to 60°C and the integrated 6 KV Lightning Protection guarantee reliable operation around the clock, all year round. Installation is very simple: with just one Network cable for data and power (Power over Ethernet), the router is quickly mounted on the facade or a mast.
Maximum Signal Strength thanks to Intelligent Antenna Technology
The heart of the FWA710 is its superior reception technology. Four built-in, directional high-performance Antennas with an Antenna gain of up to 9 dBi precisely capture even weak mobile signals. In combination with 4x4 MIMO technology, this ensures significantly higher data rates and a more stable connection than any indoor router. To perfect the installation, simply use the 'Zyxel Air' app on your smartphone. It helps you align the router precisely with the nearest cell tower to achieve the best possible signal quality.
Seamless Integration and Professional Management
This router is more than just a receiver – it's a powerful gateway for your entire Network. The 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port ensures that the full 5G speed is passed on to your local network without bottlenecks. You can operate the FWA710 flexibly in router or bridge mode (IP Passthrough). The real highlight for professionals and demanding users, however, is the integration into the Zyxel Nebula Cloud. Manage one or hundreds of these 4G / 5G Routers centrally via a single dashboard – no matter where you are in the world. Firmware updates, configuration changes, and monitoring become child's play.
The Smart Alternative to a Landline Connection
The Zyxel FWA710 is the ideal solution to say goodbye to unreliable or slow DSL connections. It offers you the freedom and speed of 5G as primary internet access for your home, office, or holiday home. Please note: The FWA710 itself does not provide WiFi for your end devices. Its integrated WiFi is only for easy setup. To distribute the internet connection in the house, simply connect your existing WiFi Access Points or a WiFi Router to the LAN port and immediately enjoy high-speed internet on all your devices.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use the Zyxel FWA710 as a regular WiFi Router for my home?
No, the FWA710 is not designed for that. Its WiFi is only for configuration and switches off automatically. To set up a WiFi network, you need to connect a separate WiFi Access Point to the LAN port of the FWA710.
Is the router complicated to install?
Physical installation requires mounting it on a wall or mast outdoors. Optimal alignment with the nearest cell tower is facilitated by the 'Zyxel Air' smartphone app, which displays signal strength in real-time, significantly simplifying the process.
Do I need a special outdoor Power Supply?
No, the router is powered via the included Ethernet Cable (Power over Ethernet, PoE). A PoE Injector, located inside the building, feeds power into the network cable. Only a single cable is routed to the router.
What does IP68 certification mean?
IP68 means that the housing is completely dust-tight and protected against the effects of continuous immersion in water. This makes it suitable for practically all weather conditions.
Can I manage the router via the cloud, even if it's behind a cellular NAT (CGNAT)?
Yes, the Zyxel Nebula Cloud platform is specifically designed to enable the management of devices located in cellular networks, which often do not have a public, directly accessible IP address. Management is done via an outgoing connection to the cloud.
What SIM card size is required?
The Zyxel FWA710 uses a Micro-SIM card (3FF format).
