Hi, team.


I have an edge ONT WA8021V5 and I don't know if it supports 5G wi-fi.

It always automatically connects to 2.4G Wi-Fi (Because I tested the speed and found it wasn't connected to 5G.) If yes, tell me how to connect to 5G Wi-Fi.


Thanks for your help!

Hi, dear user.


Yes, the device supports 5G Wi-Fi. By default, the 2.4G/5G Wi-Fi names are the same. The device automatically connects to an optimal frequency band. To fix the connection to the 5G frequency band, disable the Dual-Band Steering as follows:

  1. Connect a mobile phone to the Wi-Fi network of the edge ONT.

  2. Enter the IP address in the address box of a browser and press Enter. (For details about the IP address, see the product nameplate.)

  3. On the displayed login page, enter the login password as prompted.

  4. Choose My Wi-Fi and turn off Dual-band Combination. Then, two Wi-Fi names are displayed. Connect to the Wi-Fi with the suffix _5G.


Thanks.
