Edge ONT WA8021V5 Position Issue

Hi, CR7.

You can place the WA8021V5 in a position according to the following principles to obtain better signal coverage:

1. (Recommended) When the WA8021V5 is connected to a home gateway over the 5 GHz frequency band:

• If the signal strength at the WA8021V5 is greater than –65 dBm, the WA8021V5 is placed in a proper position.

• If the signal strength at the WA8021V5 is less than -73 dBm, you are advised to relocate the WA8021V5 to ensure that the signal strength is greater than -73 dBm.

2. When the WA8021V5 is connected to a home gateway over the 2.4 GHz frequency band:

• If the signal strength at the WA8021V5 is greater than –65 dBm, the WA8021V5 is placed in a proper position.

• If the signal strength at the WA8021V5 is less than –65 dBm, you are advised to relocate the WA8021V5 to ensure that the signal strength is greater than –65 dBm.

PS: You can also check on the LinkHome app whether the distance between the WA8021V5 and the home gateway is optimal.

Hope it helps for you!
