✅ NEW Gateway! - Verizon 5G Home Internet - WNC-CR200A Replaces The Cube

Verizon 5G Home Internet released a new gateway in late 2023, the WNC-CR200A. Let's go through the differences and all the advanced settings you can change in the webui. This one has some significant improvements over the older white cube gateways, namely in the wifi dept and front LED indicators. Lets compare the two gateways, the ARC-XCI55AX vs ASK-NCQ1338.

Got the tall grey Modem/Router in December. Got as high as 310 download, but I average between 275 and 290 in my third floor apartment in the city. About 21 upload. I'm very happy with it.

Please let me know when you do a disassembly and if external antenna can be hooked up to it, right now my speeds are very slow. Thank for the great videos!

I just received and set up the ASK Model. I kept my existing router because it had all my settings and port forwarding set up, so I set it up for PassThrough. The light turns green for PassThrough. I didn’t want to spend any time setting the ASK up. I bought the Plus plan and I get about 300 mbs down and 50 up. Overall, Im pleased, especially with the savings. $45 instead of $99 with my cable company. If you have a security system and central station, you must cut the firewall to minimum or it will not communicate.

Hi Nate, great videos. Can you please post video on opening up WNC-CR200A to install Waveform QuadPro? Thanks!

I received the new Verizon router about 3 months ago. I ended up opening it up and adding external antennas to the router. I'm not sure if I connected the external antenna to the right ports. I tried them all in different orders until I got the best signal. I was getting 20 to 30 up speed now I get 250 to 300 pretty consistently. I am excited to see what you find out when opening the router up. I did not find a SIM card inside. Also, there are little torx screws on the bottom that you need a long skinny torx screwdriver for. Good luck!

Hey Nate, After using Wireshark and logging into the Unify UDM SE via ssh and viewing the ports I discover DHCP v6 is broken. I configure the Cr200a gateway for stateless mode for IPV6 and then into passthru mode. I then set the UDM internet port to single network and slack for IPv6. This should work for Ask, ARC ect. Hope this helps those that don't want to double nat ipV4. Other than Verizon enablig DHCP V6 and giving us a /56 "i would not hold my breath" this should work with other devices llike OPsense or other routers that allow these setting. Spent a day figurung this out.

Cheers

Thanks Nater..I live in the Atlanta suburbs and ONLY have ATT 25mbs available where I live.. no cable.. no fiber.. I am weighing which 4/5G services I will get. This video is a great start to my search

[nicholascurry]

I have the white box. I just had Verizon send me a WiFi extender but I was wondering how i can boost the connection to receive better speeds. The fastest it has gone was about 150mbps and that was when I was in the same room with the cube and not in the back room in my house. How can I boost my cube speed? What device will I need if the extender doesn’t help? Would appreciate a response, thank you.

Looks like a genuine improvement for advanced users overall. Any VLAN options?

[ttrevino]

I had the small cube and now the tower one and just recently theyve been jist dropping signal and jave no connection. Idk how to fix this and verizon is not help

[steelers]

I have this gateway from Verizon and am using my own router. Is using ip passthrough my best way of doing this? The gateway seems to lose internet about once a week using ip passthrough and needs rebooted.

[lilron]

Where is the Cellular Metrics like T-Mobile has where I can see what tower I’m on or see my SINR, Etc?

[Steinyamite]

I have had the ASK model gateway for about a year now. Sometimes it drops connection or the speeds just drops. Usually it’s the full 300/20. The other day I finally got Verizon to send this newer WNC gateway. Is there any reason to keep the older ASK model over this new one?

[benji]

Thanks for this video, I do not have the new gateway, I have the ASK, and I haven't gone into the settings for like a year, the firmware has been updated and this is what it looks/functions like now, minus the extra features of the new gateway. ...I've had the t-mo and Verizon, and was using the t-mo primarily because Verizon didn't have 5G yet here and so I set it up my router in bridge mode with the V unit, long story short, and now that I'm getting consistent results with the Verizon HI I've unplugged the t-mo and want to go all out with the Verizon gateway, I am a little confused best way to set it up with the new firmware so that the router is doing as much work as possible to keep the gateway doing the least it needs to do to keep it running smooth (and cool), I have the wifi turned off, and the radios turned off. Now I have the ip for the router and, as I said, it's in bridge mode, so, I'm trying to think how to best to set it all up, you mentioned the new DMZ settings, and I'm just a bit overloaded after watching the go through of all the settings. (I tried watching the how to set up a router vid, but, since the firmware is nothing like that anymore, I got slightly confused what to do). ...I'm about to rewatch the router vid, but, any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Nate for all your hard work.

I have a camera system that needs a static ip to view away from home. How would I be able to access my cameras when I switch to either of the Verizon cubes? Currently I have DSL and I am going to switch to Verizon.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Will this be for people who get a top tier plan or depending where you live?

I also have the arc version of the modem with the e-sim will it be better to get a signal booster or external antenna for me. I live in rural area and the tower shows that it’s in the next town over from what Verizon app showed and also the website showed.

[DireNeeds]

It's been a while since I've used PFsense but that interface reminds of it.

[KTMRide]

Good video Nate. Thank you so much appreciate it!

[rexryanmosquera]

I guess i found the network mode LTE B1 (FDD 2100MHz now. SO you helped me make faster from say 20 MBPS to 60MBPS down and up now almost balance in a LTE B1 (FDD 2100MHz band. I appreciate you NaterTater!! a lot., I got a lot more on your table!! so Thank you!!! Fresh from the Philippines here.

Another insightful video Nate! I am hoping you might plan to shoot a video tutorial on how to connect this gateway to MIMO antennas. Thanks anyway!
