huawei
Core Positioning and Overview
The Huawei V173 is positioned as a smart home gateway integrated with Wi-Fi 6 technology. Its key features are:
Main Gateway: Serving as the core of the home network, it connects directly to the home's fiber optic cable and serves as the central entry point for network data.
Wi-Fi 6 Popularizer: It brings entry-level Wi-Fi 6 technology to every household, allowing users to experience a more advanced wireless network directly when signing up for broadband.
Deeply Customized with Carriers: This is a typical "carrier-customized" device, with its hardware, software interface, and management features tailored to the carrier's needs. The device typically features the carrier's logo (such as China Mobile).
Detailed Specifications and Parameters
| Item | Specifications |
| Device Type | Smart Home Gateway (GPON ONT) |
| Core Functions | Integrated optical modem, router, Wi-Fi, IPTV, and voice |
| Uplink Port | 1 x GPON optical port (SC/APC, for connecting to the home fiber) |
| Downlink Port | Typically 4 x 10/100/1000M auto-sensing LAN ports (One of which is often preset as a dedicated IPTV port) |
| Phone Port | 1-2 x POTS phone ports (for connecting to landline phones) |
| USB Port | 1 x USB 2.0/3.0 port (for file sharing or printer sharing) |
| Wireless Specifications | Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) |
| Wireless Speed | Dual-band concurrent, typical speed approximately 1800MbpsAntenna |
| Antenna | Internal antennas or a small number of external antennas (varies by carrier version) |
| - 2.4GHz | 574Mbps |
| - 5GHz | 1201Mbps |
Main Functions and Application Scenarios
1. Serving as the Main Home Network Gateway (Core Application)
This is the V173's most basic and crucial role. After the installation and maintenance engineer connects the fiber optic cable, the V173 is responsible for:
Optical-Electrical Conversion: Converts optical signals into electrical signals.
Routing: Assigns IP addresses to mobile phones, computers, TVs, and other devices in the home, enabling simultaneous internet access for multiple devices.
Wireless Coverage: Provides Wi-Fi 6 signal coverage throughout the home.
2. Multi-Service Convergence
Modern home broadband provides more than just internet access. The V173 can handle multiple services simultaneously:
High-Speed Internet Access: Provides network connectivity for all devices via the wired LAN port and Wi-Fi.
4K IPTV: Operators typically dedicate a LAN port to IPTV, transmitting 4K ultra-high-definition TV signals without lag or bandwidth consumption.
VoIP: Connect to a landline phone via the phone port for voice over Internet access.
File Sharing: Connect a USB flash drive or external hard drive via the USB port to enable simple file sharing within the home network.
Comparison with Huawei K662D
| Features | Huawei V173 | Huawei K662D |
| Core Positioning | Master optical modem/home gateway | Slave optical modem/sub-router |
| Uplink | Fiber uplink only (connecting to the carrier network) | Dual fiber and Ethernet uplink (extremely flexible) |
| Function in FTTR | Can function as a master gateway (in some scenarios) or independently. | Designed specifically as a FTTR slave device to extend the signal. |
| Function Focus | Full integration (optical modem, router, Wi-Fi, phone) | wireless expansion, and flexible access. |
