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
router and select MAC address filtering based on your requirements.

Check whether network cables are properly connected. Remove and then
insert the network cables. Then, check whether the network speed is normal.
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.
