D-Link has announced the release of its new 5G gateway. The DWR-2010 is a 5G NR Enhanced Gateway that provides 5G internet connectivity through an 802.11ac/n wireless network. This allows users access to internet speeds 10 times faster than the current LTE standard. The device showcases its multi-Gigabit Ethernet port by allowing for super high-speed connections to wired devices. When users connect to the device they can transfer data at speeds in the Gbps range. The device is compatible with Wi-Fi Mesh technology from D-Link which makes expanding the network over large areas easy. Optional Bluetooth Low energy (BLE), Zigbee, and Z-Wave are available to suit other network needs.

The DWR-2010 also offers customization options for service providers, making it suitable for deployment on a range of network configurations. It features an embedded 5G NR (New Radio) NSA module and can operate on the sub-6 GHz or mmWave frequencies in 200 MHz (2 x 100 MHz) or 800 MHz (8 x 100 MHz) configurations. TR-069 and FOTA support allow easy remote management by service providers.

Yay so we can chew through out 22GB soft limit in minutes!

This is my concern.

That 5G is going to do away with traditional wired network connectivity.

I hope this never comes to pass.

I LIKE having a wired local network with a single public IP hard lined to my house, where I control the LAN behind my firewall.

D-Link (I like to call them Dead-Link) only stays in business because they often are the cheapest gear around. Naturally, their quality reflects that. I can't ever recommend their gear to anyone, especially wireless gear.

Wired networks aren't going anywhere – still need them for data transmission in metal buildings and similar obstructions, and some people don't have neighbors 15ft away to build a mesh network with. Besides, you wouldn't want your printer or file server on a public mesh network anyway.

So to be clear, is this something that receives a 5G signal from say, Verizon, then shares it into my house as 802.11ac??

Essentially yes, according to this article;
