Digi EX50 Wi-Fi 6 IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax 2 SIM Cellular, Ethernet Wireless Router

The Digi EX50 redefines enterprise wireless connectivity by delivering Wi‑Fi 6 performance, two SIM cellular slots, and 5G/4G dual connectivity to power primary or backup networks for businesses that can’t compromise on reliability. Designed for remote work, branch offices, hospitality, and high-density environments, the EX50 combines enterprise-grade security, scalable management, and seamless failover to keep critical applications, cloud services, and communications online—even when networks fluctuate. This router is built to support modern workstyles where uninterrupted connectivity, fast data transfer, and resilient network continuity are non-negotiable. Expect faster client responses, more reliable multimedia collaboration, and a smoother user experience across devices from laptops to IoT endpoints.

• High‑performance Wi‑Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) unlocks faster speeds, improved efficiency, and higher client capacity. OFDMA and MU‑MIMO together optimize network throughput in dense environments, delivering smooth videoconferencing, cloud apps, and large file transfers to teams everywhere.
• Dual SIM cellular with reliable failover ensures continuous connectivity even if one carrier experiences a disruption. Two SIM slots offer carrier diversity and automatic network fallback, so business continuity isn’t at risk during outages or maintenance windows.
• 5G/4G dual connectivity provides a robust WAN path for primary or backup internet. The EX50 seamlessly switches between cellular networks and wired connections, minimizing downtime and preserving mission-critical tasks across locations.
• Ethernet and secure wired options give you flexible deployment—use wired WAN for stable, high‑throughput links and wired LAN to connect printers, servers, and office devices with strong, deterministic performance.
• Enterprise-grade security and flexible management include built-in firewall, VPN capabilities, and centralized management through cloud or local interfaces. Benefit from policy-based QoS, VLAN tagging, and secure remote access to safeguard sensitive data and maintain compliance.

How to Install Digi EX50

• Unbox the Digi EX50 and verify all components are present. Keep the packaging handy for future hardware upgrades or migrations.
• Insert two SIM cards into the dedicated SIM slots. Ensure SIMs are active on carriers that support the desired bands for 5G/4G connectivity.
• Connect the device to a power source using the supplied power adapter. Place the router in a central, ventilated location for optimal signal distribution.
• Access the management interface via a browser. Use the device’s default local IP address or connect through the Digi cloud portal if cloud management is enabled. Authenticate using the provided admin credentials.
• Configure WAN settings: enable dual SIM and cellular backhaul, select preferred carrier profiles, and set automatic failover rules. Then configure the Ethernet WAN if you want a wired primary or secondary connection.
• Set up the Wi‑Fi networks: create one or more SSIDs, apply strong security (WPA3 where available), and tailor guest network access if needed. Enable QoS policies to prioritize critical business applications.
• Enable VPN, firewall rules, and remote management according to your security policy. Test failover by simulating a network outage to ensure seamless handoffs between cellular and wired paths.
• Document the configuration and back up the settings. Regularly monitor performance and update firmware to maintain security and feature parity with evolving enterprise needs.
