Pepwave 5G Adapter | Ethernet Enabled Cellular Expandability

The Peplink 5G Adapter is purpose-built to deliver ultra-fast 5G connectivity as a wired WAN source for your existing network infrastructure. This is not a traditional router—it is a high-performance 5G modem with a 2.5GbE Ethernet handoff, a sleek web interface for advanced functionality and configuration, designed to plug directly into enterprise routers, multi-WAN systems, and mobile connectivity platforms, as well as anything needing an ultra-fast 5G Ethernet handoff.

Built for One Job: Deliver Fast, Reliable 5G to Your Network

If you already have a router or network stack you trust, the 5G Adapter gives you a clean, high-speed cellular WAN connection without replacing your existing infrastructure. It excels as a primary or failover WAN source, especially in environments where performance, flexibility, and simplicity matter.

• Ethernet handoff (2.5GbE) for seamless WAN integration
• Single high-performance 5G modem (up to 3.4 Gbps downlink)
• Works with Peplink, Cradlepoint, Fortinet, Ubiquiti, and other routers
• Ideal for SpeedFusion, load balancing, and failover setups

Where This Product Shines

The 5G Adapter is at its best when paired with a multi-WAN router or firewall that handles routing, VPN, and network policy.

• Peplink routers using SpeedFusion for bonded WAN
• Enterprise firewalls needing a fast cellular uplink
• Mobile deployments (RV, vehicle, marine) with existing routers
• Branch failover where fiber/cable uptime matters

Simple Deployment, No Network Re-Architecture

Add 5G to any network without redesigning it. The adapter provides a plug-and-play WAN connection—just connect Ethernet to your router and you’re online.

• No need to replace your router
• No complex configuration required
• Acts like a traditional wired WAN connection

Carrier Flexibility & Remote SIM Options

Stay flexible across networks with dual SIM slots, eSIM, and RemoteSIM support, allowing you to optimize for coverage, cost, or redundancy across carriers.

• Dual nano-SIM slots + eSIM support
• RemoteSIM and FusionSIM compatibility
• Ideal for multi-carrier strategies

Enterprise-Grade Hardware, Built for the Field

Designed for real-world deployments, the 5G Adapter is rugged, compact, and ready for mobile or industrial environments.

• Wide operating temperature: -40° to 65°C
• External antenna support for optimal signal
• GPS, ignition sensing, and GPIO for advanced deployments
• Flexible power: PoE (802.3at) or DC input

When Can It Be Used Standalone?

While the 5G Adapter does include a basic web interface and DHCP server functionality, it is best suited for simple or specialized deployments where minimal routing is required.

• Single-device or pass-through applications
• Temporary connectivity setups
• IoT or edge devices with their own networking stack

Bottom Line

If you need a fast, reliable 5G WAN connection to feed into an existing router, this is one of the cleanest and highest-performance ways to do it. The Peplink 5G Adapter is designed to enhance your network—not replace it.
