Configuring Wi-Fi Parameters
Step 1 Choose the WLAN tab and choose WLAN Basic Configuration.
If the ONT supports 2.4 GHz wireless and 5 GHz wireless , Choose the Advanced
Configuration > WLAN tab and choose 2.4G Basic Network Settings. (If you want to
configure 5G Wi-Fi, choose 5G Basic Network Settings.)
Step 2 In the pane, select the Enable WLAN option box. In the dialog box that is
displayed, set the basic Wi-Fi parameters, including the SSID, authentication
mode, and encryption mode. For example:
Step 3 Click Apply.
ONT supporting Wi-Fi, a wireless network coverage is subject to the number, thickness, and
positions of walls, materials, ceilings, or other objects that radio signals traverse. Besides,
material type and background radio frequency (RF) noise also affect the coverage of a
wireless network. You can maximize the coverage of a wireless network using the following
methods:
1.
Decrease the number of walls and ceilings between ONT and other network
devices.
Each wall or ceiling reduces the coverage of a wireless network by one to 30 meters.
Install ONT at a proper place to avoid walls or ceilings whenever possible.
2.
Observe the straight line rule when installing network devices.
The distance for which signals have to traverse at a 45° corner of two 0.5 meter-thick
walls reaches approximately one meter. To better receive signals, devices should be
installed at places where signals can directly traverse walls or ceilings.
3.
Note the impact of building materials on the wireless network coverage.
A metal door or aluminum wall may limit the coverage of a wireless network. Install
access points, wireless routers, and computers, so signals can traverse walls or open
passageways. Materials and objects such as FRP products, metal products, insulative
walls, filing cabinets, bricks, and concrete weaken radio signals.
Shipped from different manufacture batches, the nameplates of some devices do not have
the IP address, user name, and password printed. In such a case, log in to the device
using 192.168.18.1, Epuser (user name), and userEp (password).
If you do not perform any operations after logging in to the system for five minutes, you will
exit the system and the system automatically returns to the login interface.
The system will be locked if you input incorrect user name and password three
consecutive times. One minute later, it will be unlocked.
Change the initial password after logging in to the web page.
SSID Name: WirelessNet (the name of a wireless network searched by the Wi-Fi
terminal)
Authentication Mode: WPA Pre-Shared Key
Encryption Mode: TKIP
WPA PreSharedKey: Password (the authentication password for the Wi-Fi terminal
to access a wireless network).
