What can I do if I cannot connect to the Wi-Fi network?
How to improve the Wi-Fi speed of a Huawei ONT?
1. Wi-Fi speed relies on the bandwidth provided by the ISP, so the simplest way is
to upgrade to faster broadband.
2. Wi-Fi speed is aected by the Wi-Fi signal strength and quality.
2.1 Determine the deployment positions of ONT based on house structures,
indoor obstacles, and electrical appliance-caused interferences. If possible, put
ONT
in the middle of a planned coverage area and ensure that no obstacles exist and
they are placed at high positions for better coverage. In addition, ensure that the
ONT is far away from interference sources such as TVs, refrigerators, cordless
phones, and Bluetooth devices.
2.2 Note that load-bearing walls, oors, and metal coated glass may block Wi-Fi
signals, avoid or reduce these obstacles between the ONT and Wi-Fi devices (such
as pads, mobile phones, and laptops). For outdoor yards, large balconies, and
compound rooms, etc., it is recommended to add repeaters to enhance the Wi-Fi
coverage.
2.3 For common places
where users access the Internet, such as a living room, study room, or master
room,
pre-evaluate whether their signal strength is strong enough. If the signal strength
is
insucient(Generally, lower than -72dBm), it is recommended to adjust ONT
positions or add new repeaters to enhance the Wi-Fi coverage.
3. Using the correct radio channel. Generally, the Huawei ONT selects channels
adaptively. If the network is slow or the quality turns poor from time to time, you
can use a WiFi scanner such as WiFi Stumbler or WiFi Analyzer to search for the
optimal channel.
4. To prevent unauthorized network access, log in to the web interface of the
router and select MAC address ltering based on your requirements.

What can I do if the network speed is slow?
1. Check whether network cables are properly connected. Remove and then
insert the network cables. Then, check whether the network speed is normal.
2. Check whether downloading, network video watching, or other operations
occupy a large amount of bandwidth. Due to bandwidth restrictions, if some
network applications occupy a large amount of network bandwidth, the
network speed is slow.
3. Use another PC, mobile phone, or pad to check whether the network speed is
normal.
A phone does not ring upon an incoming call but communication is in
normal state when the phone is in o-hook state.
● The ONT supports a maximum of 60 V AC ringing current voltage. Check
whether the ringing current voltage of the phone is higher than 60 V AC. If it
is higher than 60 V AC, replace the phone.
How do I restore the Huawei ONT to factory setting?
Press Reset by using a needle-type object for longer than 10s to restore factory
defaults and reset the Huawei ONT. If the indicator is o and then is lit, the
system restarts successfully.
NO TE
Exercise caution when restoring factory settings. This function may cause the loss of ONT
conguration information and further cause an Internet access failure. If this problem
occurs, contact your service provider for help.
How can I download Huawei ONT rmware or ONT software?
Huawei ONT is used with an OLT and NMS of a required version. If the versions
are not the required ones, the ONT may not work.
If required, contact your internet service provider to obtain the correct ONT
rmware or software.
