2 Functions and Features
2.1 Automatically identifying Internet access mode
The router can automatically identify your Internet access mode (PPPoE/DHCP). No manual
operation is required.
NOTE
PPPoE, DHCP, static IP, and bridge are the most commonly used Internet access modes and areall
supported by HUAWEI Router WS5200.
2.2 Learning the Internet settings of old routers
Supports obtaining the broadband account and password from your old router without
manual input. Especially when you forget your broadband account or password, you can
copy them from your old router to access the Internet.
Supports the cloning of your old router's MAC address. When broadband is enabled,
some service providers will bind your broadband account to a MAC address to limit the
number of Internet devices, and only allow bound devices to access the Internet. To
resolve this issue, the MAC address cloning feature allows the router to use the MAC
address of a bound device to access the Internet.
2.3 Multi-router network distribution
Supports network expansion by connecting multiple HUAWEI HiLink routers using the
HiLink button.
Supports network expansion by connecting multiple HUAWEI HiLink routers using
Ethernet cables.
Supports the auto-sync of your router's Wi-Fi configurations: If the Wi-Fi name,
password, or router management password is changed on your primary router, the
configuration will automatically sync to the others HUAWEI HiLink routers.
If there are multiple routers in your home, your Wi-Fi device will be automatically
switched to a better-performing router.

2.4 Connecting to your old router (through wired bridge or
wireless repeater mode) to form a network
You can use an Ethernet cable to cascade HUAWEI Router WS5200 to an old router and
form a network. In this case, HUAWEI Router WS5200 works as the secondary router.
HUAWEI Router WS5200 can also connect to your old router's Wi-Fi as a wireless
repeater. When it functions as a wireless repeater, it has the same Wi-Fi name and
password as your old router. There will be only one Wi-Fi network in your home.
NOTE
If you have two HUAWEI routers that support HUAWEI HiLink, using HUAWEI HiLink to connect the
two routers will be more convenient.
2.5 Ensuring privacy with multiple security mechanisms
HUAWEI Router WS5200 controls Wi-Fi access and disconnects unwanted devices to
prevent unauthorized access.
It supports guest Wi-Fi. You can set up a dedicated Wi-Fi network for your guests.
Guests have access to the guest Wi-Fi but cannot manage the router or access other
devices on the home network. This allows you to protect the security and privacy of your
home network.
You can hide your Wi-Fi name to improve network security. If a Wi-Fi name is hidden,
wireless devices (like PCs and mobile phones) cannot search for the Wi-Fi name. To
connect a wireless device to a hidden Wi-Fi network, you must enter the correct Wi-Fi
name.
The built-in firewall can protect you from DoS/ARP attacks by scanning all data
communication between the Internet and your home network.
It supports DMZ feature that allows you to expose the DMZ host to the Internet, while
other devices are protected by the firewall. For example, when setting up a server, you
can set the computer connected to the external network as the DMZ host to allow it to
provide Internet services while ensuring the security of other devices on your home
network.
2.6 Power-saving features
The router supports three different power modes: Wall (highest power consumption),
Standard, and Sleep (lowest power consumption) to cater to your different needs at
different time of the day and in different environments.
Wi-Fi timer allows you to disable Wi-Fi during specific time periods (such as after
midnight or when you're at work) in order to reduce power consumption.
2.7 Parental control
The parental control feature allows you to set Internet access time limits and restrict access to
certain websites to keep your family members (especially minors) protected.

2.8 Router management
You can access your router's web-based management page from your computer, mobile phone
or tablet. Alternatively, you can download and install HUAWEI SmartHome app on your
mobile phone or tablet for faster configuration.
2.9 Supporting VPN passthrough
Supports VPN passthrough (requires VPN dialing from LAN device).
2.10 Other supported features
NAT and NAPT (RFC 1631, RFC 2663, RFC 2766, and RFC 3022)
DHCP server and clients
DNS proxy
Proxy for DNS queries from its connected devices to speed up DNS responses.
DDNS proxy
The router will associate its dynamic WAN IP to a fixed domain name. This allows you
to use a fixed domain name to access the router's services over the Internet instead of
having to manually check the WAN IP address of the router each time.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
Computers in the LAN can request the router to automatically switch the port. This
allows computers connected to the Internet to access the resources on any LAN
computers when needed, allowing you to enjoy a more stable network while playing
computer games or using apps to download files.
