Do you dream of escaping the hustle and bustle of the busy city life and moving to the suburbs? Perhaps you’ve already made the move but are frustrated by the slow internet speeds? Fear not, because Chateau is here to solve all your connectivity problems. Going back to the city to finish some business? Once again – Chateau is the perfect companion for ultra-fast premium connectivity.

Chateau 5G R16 is the 2023 upgrade of our bestselling 5G Chateau home and office router – designed to make 5G more affordable than ever. The new modem brings the price down while adding features like NR CA and 3GPP Release standard with extra ENDC combination support. In other words, much better connectivity across a wide range of different mobile operator towers! It can even simultaneously use the 5G and 4G bands to maximize the throughput! It also supports 4x4 MIMO for the lower frequency range, including band 8, 20, and 28 – for even better signal in the countryside. Wherever life takes you – Chateau can make it better!

There are 5x Gigabit Ethernet ports – enough to connect most household devices: PCs, TVs, game consoles, and so on.

More than just a router: try containers for home automation, ad blocking, simple web hosting, private DNS, network storage, IoT, and so much more.

Latest version of our versatile RouterOS, a powerful quad-core ARM CPU and a USB port for extra storage – that’s all you need to step inside the exciting world of Linux container apps! Here are some neat container use-cases to explore with your brand new Chateau:

Block all unwanted ads with PiHole hosted on your Chateau 5G R16!

Host your web blog or a simple website on your router – without any additional hardware.

Chateau 5G R16 can host the HomeAssistant app, which allows monitoring your CCTV cameras, temperature sensors, and other devices to create the smart home ecosystem of your dreams!

You can even automate your home. For instance, wouldn’t it be nice if the air conditioning turned on automatically when it gets too hot? With Chateau’s container support that’s an easy ride!

1. All tests are done with Xena Networks specialized test equipment (XenaBay),and done according to RFC2544 (Xena2544)
2. Max throughput is determined with 30+ second attempts with 0,1% packet loss tolerance in 64, 512, 1518 byte packet sizes
3. Test results show device maximum performance, and are reached using mentioned hardware and software configuration, different configurations most likely will result in lower results
