OBiWiFi5G FAQ

Q: What is OBiWiFi5G? How does it work?

A: The Obihai OBiWiFi5G wireless adapter allows a USB-equipped OBi device, like the OBi202, to
connect to the internet over a Wi-Fi network. With OBiWiFi5G, you have the freedom to place the OBi
VoIP phone adapter anywhere within range of your Wi-Fi network. With OBiWiFi5G connected to your
OBi202 VoIP device, as long as you have the proper credentials to connect to the network, you can
connect to any Wi-Fi access point or hot spot to make and receive phone calls with the phone(s) attached
to your OBi.

Q: What is the range of OBiWiFi5G?

A: You may place the OBi202 with the OBiWiFi5G Wireless Adapter anywhere in your home or office with
good Wi-Fi reception. Please keep in mind that the range of your OBiWiFi5G can be affected by things
such as walls, windows, doors and other structural elements in your home or office environment.

Q: I am using WEP encryption in my router. What should I do?

A: In your router's configuration, please use WEP key 1, don't use 2, 3, or 4. Then, if OBiWiFi5G is
powered on, try to connect - see whether OBiWiFi5G gets an IP now.

Q: How to configure wireless AP for WEP with OBiWiFi5G.

A: When connecting OBiWiFi5G to your AP using security option of WEP and you see status for your
OBiWiFi5G shows 'Authentication fail to xxxxxx':

If the Wireless Security that you have set in your wireless router is as such, the authentication failure may
be because OBi is configured to use Passphrase ('ExcellentWiFi') as password and/or selecting wrong
Key Index.

The result shows that the OBi202 is attempting to connect (and/or show as connected) but does not
receive an IP address and does not connect to your wireless router.

When you see the 'Authentication fail to xxxxxx' message or 'Obtaining IP address from xxxxxx. ..' for
more than one minute, please verify your password and Key Index. Please use hex key instead of using
ascii passphrase.

For example: if you configure your wireless router like the picture above and your Passphrase is:
ExcellentWiFi then you should enter 143565037F4223B04ACD5741B5 for the password (if the TX Key
index is 1 as above picture shows) and select '1' as Key Index.

Q: Will my call quality be affected with OBiWiFi5G?

A: No. As long as OBiWiFi5G is within range of your wireless signal, and has a strong signal, you should
be able to enjoy good voice clarity.

Q: Which WiFi standard and frequency does OBiWiFi5G support?

A: OBiWiFi5G supports the 802.11ac, the 802.11n and the 802.11b/g wireless standards. It operates in
the 5GHz and the 2.4GHz bands.

Q: Can I use the OBi202 with OBiWiFi5G as a wireless bridge?

A: Yes! With your OBi202 (with OBiWiFi5G) connected to a Wi-Fi network, you can plug a computer into
the OBi202's Ethernet LAN port a to get internet access. The computer will obtain an IP address from the
OBi202 (acting as a router), not directly from the WiFi AP.

A: Yes! With your OBi202 (with OBiWiFi5G) connected to the 4G Hot Spot's Wi-Fi network, you may use
VoIP services with your 4G wireless broadband service. Please note that some carriers have been known
to block VoIP traffic.

Q: Why can’t I sign in to the special web page for OBiWiFi5G set-up and configuration?

A: To check for firmware update, pick up the phone connected to the OBi202 and dial ***6. The
announcement will let you know if there is an update.

If there is, press 1 and hang-up. Your OBi will automatically update and restart in about 2-3 minutes.
