Router with 5G SA/NSA and WiFi 6e AX3000 for sites with weak mobile coverage, or where mobile broadband must act as a backup to a fixed connection. This Cudy model runs Open WRT on a 1 GHz dual-core Qualcomm processor and has two Nano SIM slots.
The RM520N 5G module (Qualcomm X62) reaches 2.4 Gbps downlink and 900 Mbps uplink in SA mode. Four detachable cellular antennas with SMA connectors can be extended with cables of up to 12 metres for better reception.
What makes Router CDY-P5 a strong choice for sites with weak mobile coverage and redundant connectivity?
Four detachable cellular antennas with SMA connectors allow reception to be optimised with extension cables of up to 12 metres. Band lock fixes 4G/5G to one or several frequency bands for stable operation, and TTL values for IPv4 and HL for IPv6 can be set manually to meet the operator's requirements.
Both Nano SIM slots can be filled, with automatic or manual redundancy mode. One WAN/LAN port can be set as WAN for fixed broadband, with 4G/5G as backup. On 5 GHz, 160 MHz channel width gives up to 2402 Mbps, and OFDMA provides capacity for more simultaneous devices.
Applications for 5G router CDY-P5
The router is used where connectivity must run over the mobile network or as a backup to fixed broadband. The software and functions cover, among other things:
- Mobile broadband via SIM card where no fixed connection exists
- Failover from the WAN port to 4G/5G
- VPN with PPTP, L2TP, OpenVPN, WireGuard and IPsec
- DNS over TLS to Cloudflare or Google
- Mesh networking for a larger coverage area
- SMS sending and receiving through the router

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does Router CDY-P5 work outdoors or in the cold?
No, the router is specified for operation between 0° C and +45° C and relative humidity of 5% to 95% non-condensing. Storage tolerates -40° C to +70° C, but operation outside 0° C to +45° C is not covered by the CDY-P5 specification.
Can Router CDY-P5 use fixed broadband as the main line with 4G/5G as backup?
Yes, one WAN/LAN port is set as WAN for fixed broadband, and 4G/5G then acts as backup. Both Nano SIM slots can be filled, with automatic or manual redundancy mode.
What separates Router CDY-P5 from other 5G routers?
CDY-P5 runs Open WRT and has four detachable cellular antennas with SMA connectors that can be extended up to 12 metres. It also offers band lock, adjustable TTL values and VPN support for PPTP, L2TP, OpenVPN, WireGuard and IPsec.
