You can use HUAWEI SmartHome app to manage users, set timer and guest Wi-Fi, and control your router. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1: What can I do if I encounter any of the following issues when configuring the router?

A:

If your device did not detect the router's Wi-Fi: Ensure that the router is powered on. Wait for a moment (till the router is started) and try to search again on your device. If you cannot visit the router's configuration page on your device: Ensure that your device is connected to the router's Wi-Fi network, and then enter 192.168.3.1 in the browser to visit this page on your device. If the page displays "Cable disconnected": Ensure that the primary router's WAN port is connected to the modem's LAN port, and the modem's LAN port is connected to the network. Check that all joints are securely connected and in good contact, and the network cables are in good condition. If the page displays "Incorrect Broadband username or password": Please enter your broadband account and password again. If this still does not work, your broadband provider may have bound the MAC address of your old router, causing your new router to be unable to connect. To fix this issue, select Retrieve and follow the onscreen prompts. Alternatively, contact your broadband provider for assistance. If the page displays "Failed to retrieve account username and password from old router": Ensure that the router is connected to a power source, and that the old router's WAN port is already connected to the new router's LAN port. Restart your old router and then touch Try again. If the issue persists, restore the router to the factory settings, and follow the guide to reconnect the cables and configure the router. Q2: What should I do if I forget my login password for the HUAWEI SmartHome app or the router's web-based management page?

A:

Try using the router's Wi-Fi password to login. If the issue persists, restore the router to the factory settings by pressing and holding the Reset button for at least 2 seconds till the indicator turns off.

(Note: All settings will be cleared if the router is restored to factory settings. You will need to re-configure the router.)

Q3 Does the HUAWEI WiFi WS5200 support 5 GHz Wi-Fi?

How do I connect to the router's 5 GHz Wi-Fi?

A:

1. 2. Yes. 5 GHz Wi-Fi is supported. 5 GHz Wi-Fi is faster and less sensitive to interference. However, its ability to penetrate walls is inferior to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, and only phones and computers that support 5 GHz Wi-Fi can use it. By default, the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi networks have the same name and you will be automatically connected to the faster network.If you want to connect to the 5 GHz Wi-Fi network by default, disable the

"5 GHz preferred" feature by performing the following steps: 1) Connect your phone to the router's Wi-Fi network. 2) Enter 192.168.3.1 in your browser address bar and follow the onscreen instructions to log in. 3) Select My Wi-Fi and disable 5 GHz preferred.You will now be able to find two Wi-Fi network names. Connect to the Wi-Fi network with "_5G" at the end of its name. Q4: What do the different indicator light types mean?

A:

Steady green: Connected to the network 1) 2) Steady red: Not connected to the network 1) Loose cable or connect error. Check the cable. 2) Broadband network error. Contact your broadband provider. Indicator Blinking red: The H button has been touched by accident or it has detected a pairable device. If you touched the H button by accident, wait for 2 minutes till the indicator returns to normal. The indicator will blink red if it detects any pairable Huawei routers (with the H or Hi button) . Press the H button on HUAWEI WiFi WS5200 once. The indicator will blink faster until the pairable device is connected to HUAWEI WiFi WS5200's Wi-Fi. Then the indicator will return to steady green.
