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 affected 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, floors, 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 insufficient(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 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 ONT and select MAC address filtering 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.

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 off and then is lit, the system restarts successfully.
NOTE
Exercise caution when restoring factory settings. This function may cause the loss of ONT configuration information and further cause an Internet access failure. If this problem occurs, contact your service provider for help.
How can I download Huawei ONT firmware or 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 firmware or software.
