2 Functions and Features
2.1 Automatically identify 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 are all
supported by HUAWEI WiFi Q2.
2.2 Obtain the broadband account and password from the
old router
Supports obtaining broadband account and password from the old router. Manual input is
not required.
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 main router to use the
MAC address of a bound device to access the Internet.
2.3 Connect to another HUAWEI router
By pressing the H button, you can connect two HUAWEI routers that support HUAWEI
HiLink to form a network with expanded coverage.
You can also use an Ethernet cable to connect two HUAWEI routers that support
HUAWEI HiLink to form a network with expanded coverage.
The router can automatically sync to its primary router's Wi-Fi settings. If you changed
the Wi-Fi name, Wi-Fi password, or admin password on the primary router, the same
changes will be automatically synced to the secondary router. When there are multiple
routers at home, you will be automatically connected to the router with the optimal Wi-Fi
network.

2.4 Ensure privacy with multiple security mechanisms
HUAWEI WiFi Q2 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 is to protect home network and privacy security.
You can hide your Wi-Fi name to improve the 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.
Associating your computer's IP address and MAC address can effectively protect against
ARP spoofing attacks. After association, attackers will be unable to use ARP spoofing
techniques to steal your computer's IP address.
Supports Anti-brute-force protection. If repeated Wi-Fi connection or password
submission attempts are detected, the router will automatically identify the risk device
and prompt the user to blacklist it to prevent further attacks.
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.
HUAWEI WiFi Q2 supports PAP and CHAP for secure password transmission.
2.5 Power-saving features
The router supports three different power modes: Max (highest power consumption),
Middle, and Low (lowest power consumption) to cater to your different needs at
different time of a day and in different environments.
Wi-Fi timer allows you to disable Wi-Fi for a specified time (such as after midnight or
when you're at work) in order to reduce power consumption.
2.6 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) healthy and safe.
2.7 Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)
Supports VPN passthrough (requires LAN-side device to dial the VPN connection).
Supports VPN dialing, L2TP, and PPTP proxy.

2.8 Other supported features
NAT and NAPT (RFC 1631, RFC 2663, RFC 2766, and RFC 3022)
DHCP server and clients
The DHCP server can automatically assign the IP address, gateway, and DNS.
DDNS and DNS proxies
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 (such as MSN Messenger and other apps that support UPnP protocols) when
needed, allowing you to enjoy a more stable network while watching online videos or
using apps to download files.
2.9 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 Smart Home app on your
mobile phone or tablet for faster configuration.
