Router LANCOM 1780EW-4G+

The LANCOM 1780EW-4G+ is a dual-band router that supports Wi‑Fi 5 (IEEE 802.11ac) with a maximum wireless throughput of up to 867 Mbit/s and LTE Advanced mobile connectivity. Designed for professional and small business environments, the device combines Gigabit Ethernet interfaces with 4G mobile network access to provide fast internet connectivity and secure VPN access. Security features include AES encryption and EAP authentication. The router is supplied in a black and grey housing and weighs approximately 0.6 kg.

Advantages

The LANCOM 1780EW-4G+ provides combined wired and wireless connectivity with support for LTE Advanced for mobile failover or primary mobile access. Built-in Gigabit Ethernet ports allow stable wired connections and integration with external modems. Robust security functions such as AES encryption and EAP authentication support secure VPN tunnels for remote site connectivity. Centralised configuration and management options, including support for SD‑WAN and SD‑WLAN via the LANCOM Management Cloud, simplify deployment and ongoing operation.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

When it may not be suitable

This router uses Wi‑Fi 5 (IEEE 802.11ac) and does not provide Wi‑Fi 6 (802.11ax) performance, so environments requiring the latest Wi‑Fi 6 features or the very highest wireless throughput may need a newer model. If full 5G cellular connectivity is required, this 4G LTE device will not meet that need.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the LANCOM 1780EW-4G+ in a location with good cellular reception if using mobile access, or connect it to an existing wired internet connection via the Gigabit WAN port. Configure basic network settings and VPN parameters using the device web interface or the LANCOM Management Cloud for centralised deployment. Create and secure wireless SSIDs for staff and guests, apply AES and EAP-based authentication where needed, and enable LTE failover or primary mobile operation according to your network plan. Keep firmware updated through the vendor management tools to maintain security and compatibility.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

Place the router where cellular signal is strongest if using LTE, and configure SD‑WAN/SD‑WLAN via the LANCOM Management Cloud for centralised, automated deployment and consistent policy management across sites.
