FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q1: How can I access the Web User Interface of my FG7008GR(AC)?
A1: Launch a Web Browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome)
and type in http://192.168.1.254 on the address bar.
Q2: Where can I find the Wireless Password of my FG7008GR(AC)?
A2: The Wireless SSID and the Wireless Password of both the 2.4GHz
and the 5.0GHz frequency band can be seen on the label sticker of
your FG7008GR(AC) device.
Q3: How can I connect to the 5.0GHz band of my FG7008GR(AC)?
A3: Please ensure first that your wireless device has a dual band
support. This can be done by either (1) checking the specifications
of your device, or (2) by performing a wireless scan on your wireless
device. If both the 2.4GHz and the 5.0GHz wireless SSIDs (wireless
network name) are seen, this means that your device is dual band
supported.
Q4: Does the 5.0GHz offer better wireless speeds and coverage?
A4: Since the 5.0GHz frequency band is less used by common
devices, wireless performance is expected to be higher than its
2.4GHz counterpart. However, since the 5.0GHz operates at a higher
frequency, it is also expected to have a smaller coverage.
