Supported Features
The WS550 450Mbps Wireless Router (WS550 for short) is a high-speed wireless router
designed for home and small office use. This chapter describes the features supported by the
WS550.
Ethernet provides rugged stability, and with the WPS button, zero configuration is required
for connections to multiple devices.
Network range allows any device in a home to be connected with a transmission rate of up to
450Mbps.
A powerful firewall is provided with a flexible network configuration and quality of service
(QoS) strategy, enabling different home devices to enjoy high-speed and high-quality
broadband services.
Smart Wi-Fi coverage
When the WS550 is connected to Huawei wireless routers and repeaters that support the smart
Wi-Fi coverage feature, wireless parameters of these devices are automatically synchronized,
which simplifies user configuration. What's more, smart Wi-Fi coverage helps wireless devices
automatically detect and connect to the wireless router or repeater with the best signal
reception.
Easy configuration and management
Access the web management page from your computer, smart phone, or tablet to easily
configure WS550. You can also install the Huawei HiLink app on your smart phone or tablet to

Configuration Protocol (DHCP), which provides simultaneous access for multiple devices.
WLAN
The WS550 supports multiple WLAN protocols, including 802.11b/g/n (2.4 GHz). Adopting
802.11n multiple-input multiple-output antennas (MIMO) technology, the WS550 delivers a
wireless transmission rate of up to 450Mbps with its three antennas. In addition, the WS550
supports multiple wireless encryption modes to provide a secure, reliable, and high-speed WLAN.
Bandwidth Control
The WS550 supports bandwidth control and allocates bandwidth to different computers within
your home based on Internet access requirements. Your family can then access the Internet, play
online games, and watch videos without interfering with each other.
