FAQ

After you completed the WireGuard VPN server setting, you can login the router and configure the settings.

In VPN ==> WireGuard ==> Local, fill in the client's private key and tunnel IP.

In Peer, fill in the server's public key and tunnel IP, as well as other configuration information.

In Peer, click the "ACCESS" button to connect.

When WireGuard connects to the server, there will be an increase in Data Received and Data Transmitted.

3. Detailed Analysis
3.1 Network Performance
  • Yhiott R5100 leads in 5G NSA downlink speed (3.4 Gbps) and 5G SA uplink speed (900 Mbps), dual SIM failover, making it ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications like remote surgery or AI-driven manufacturing.
  • M357-5G offers strong LTE performance (Cat 12, 600 Mbps downlink), suitable for regions with mixed 5G/LTE coverage.
  • RUTX50 balances 5G and LTE capabilities, with reliable dual SIM failover for mission-critical networks.
3.2 Wireless & Connectivity
  • All three support 5G SA/NSA, but Yhiott R5100 and  M357-5G feature WiFi 6 (802.11ax) for faster wireless speeds and more concurrent connections (up to 100 and 128, respectively), outperforming ’s WiFi 5.
  • RUTX50 offers flexible Ethernet ports (2x configurable WAN/LAN), useful for complex network setups, while Yhiott R5100 provides 4 dedicated LAN ports for stable device connections.
3.3 Security & Reliability
  • Yhiott R5100 stands out with rich VPN options (including WireGuard) and 10 IPsec tunnels, enhancing secure remote access. Its hardware/software watchdog ensures uninterrupted operation in harsh environments.
  • RUTX50 and  M357-5G offer robust security (firewalls, MAC filtering) but with fewer VPN protocols compared to Yhiott.
  • All meet industrial temperature standards (-40°C to 75°C), with IP30 protection against dust, suitable for factory floors or outdoor deployments.
3.4 Management & Power
  • Yhiott R5100 and  RUTX50 provide free cloud management (Yhiott Cloud,  RMS), simplifying remote monitoring.  requires a proprietary cloud platform.
  • M357-5G has lower power consumption (<15W), beneficial for battery-powered setups, while Yhiott R5100 supports PoE 48V for flexible power sourcing.
4. Conclusion
  • Yhiott R5100 is the highest cost performance, WiFi 6-dependent applications (e.g., smart manufacturing, autonomous driving) with its superior 5G speeds and security features.
  • RUTX50  is frequently cited as a top contender for its robust performance, security features, and rugged design.
