What can I do if I cannot connect to the Wi-Fi network?
How to improve the Wi-Fi speed of a Master FTTR?
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 Master FTTR based on house
structures, indoor obstacles, and electrical appliance-caused interferences. If
possible, put Master FTTR 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 Master FTTR 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 Master FTTR 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 Master FTTR positions or add new
repeaters to enhance the Wi-Fi coverage.

3. Using the correct radio channel. Generally, the Master FTTR automatically
selects the optimal channel. If the network is slow or the quality turns poor
from time to time, you can use a Wi-Fi scanner such as Wi-Fi Stumbler or Wi-
Fi 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 Master FTTR 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 Master FTTR to factory setting?
Press Reset by using a needle-type object for longer than 10s to restore factory
defaults and reset the Master FTTR. 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 Master
FTTR conguration information and further cause an Internet access failure. If this problem
occurs, contact your service provider for help.
How can I download Master FTTR rmware or software?
Master FTTR is used with an OLT and NMS of a required version. If the versions
are not the required ones, the Master FTTR may not work.
If required, contact your internet service provider to obtain the correct Master
FTTR rmware or software.
