Router Positioning

The F5260 router provides network access from anywhere
within range of your wireless (WiFi) network. However, WiFi
signal strength diminishes over distance and as it passes
through the construction material of your home (e.g. walls,
metal and water).

For best results, follow the guidelines below.

 Improve range by positioning your router at a central

location and minimizing the number of walls or ceilings
between your router and network devices.

 Ensure optimum reception by positioning your device

so that the signal moves straight through drywall or
open doorways instead of at an angle.

 Maintain wireless signal strength by positioning your

router away from glass, metal, water, mirrors, brick and
concrete.

 Avoid signal interference by keeping your router away

from electrical devices (e.g. microwaves, baby monitors
and wireless headsets).

 Keep your router and its cables accessible by placing it

in an open area near a power outlet.

Wall Mounting (optional)

The F5260 router can be optionally mounted on the wall.
Before you mount the unit on the wall, write down the required
information from the label.

1. The unit is mounted with the top of the unit facing up.
Ensure that the wall you use is smooth, flat, dry, and
sturdy.

2. The unit is mounted using two M3x20 or equivalent
compact head screws (20mm length and 3mm in
diameter).

3. Install the two screws 5 1/4 inches (135 mm) apart
approximately 3/4 inches (20 mm) below the desired
top of the unit per the following figure.

4. Adjust the screws in the wall leaving their heads
extending approximately 1/8 inch to 3/16 inch (3.5 mm

- 4 mm) from the wall surface.

5. Carefully align the screw heads in the keyholes on the
back of the unit and gently push it onto the wall moving
it downward to secure it in the narrow portion of the
keyhole slots.

Chapter 5: Troubleshooting

This chapter provides information on how to resolve some
common problems you may encounter with your router.

Problem 1: Indicator lights are not turning on.

There are a number reasons as to why an indicator light would
be inactive. Please review the icons below to resolve issues
you may be experiencing.

The Power indicator should be a
solid green when the router is
powered on. If the Power indicator

light is off:

 Check the Power Switch on the back panel of the

router and ensure that it is switched on.

 Check the provided Power Adapter. If it is

plugged in and there is power running through it,
then its indicator light should be a solid green.

 Check the electrical outlet that the Power Adapter

is plugged into to see if it is providing power. You
can check this by plugging another device into it.

The USB indicator light is off by
default. It will only turn on if a USB

device is connected to your router. If
the USB indicator light is off and you
have a USB device attached to it:

 Check your USB device and ensure that it is

powered on and it supports USB 2.0 or USB 1.1.

 For printers: Unplug and re-plug the printer.

Some printers need to be turned on and off after
changing the hosts to which they are connected.
If it remains unchanged, check to ensure that the
printer supports IPP (Internet Printing Protocol),
which is required to share the printer within your
network.

 For storage devices: Unplug and re-plug the

device. Some disk drives require external power
to connect by USB. Should this be the case,
ensure that your drive is connected. Otherwise,
please ensure that your device is not drawing
more than the maximum current allowed by the
USB 2.0 standard.

The WPS indicator light is off by
default. It will only turn on if you

have enabled WiFi Protected Setup
on your network through the Web
GUI. Note: The WPS light applies to
both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz according to
which is enabled.

 For instructions on how to the WPS (WiFi Protected

Setup), please see p.15.

Sagemcom F@st 5260

Chapter 5: Troubleshooting

32

The Wireless (WiFi) indicator light
will turn on when the wireless
network is ready for use. If the

Wireless indicator light is off:

 Login to the Web GUI. Check to see that one or

more of the wireless networks are turned on. For
instructions on how to turn your WiFi on, please
see p. 13.

The LAN indicator light is off by
default. It will turn on if you plug any

device into the LAN Ethernet ports
located on the back of the router. If
the Wireless indicator light is off and
you have a device attached:

 Check the Ethernet cable attaching the device to

the router and ensure that they are securely
fastened. If both ends are secure, try replacing
the cable.

The WAN indicator light should be
a solid green when the router is
connected to the modem. If:

 The indicator light is off, check that both ends of

the Ethernet cable connecting the router to the
modem is securely fastened. If both ends are
secure, try replacing the cable.

 The indicator light is red, reboot your modem and

wait a few minutes. Some ISPs (Internet Service
Provider) require that the MAC address of your
router is registered in their portal. Refer to your
ISP.

 The indicator light is green but there is still no

Internet access, restart your network. Check the
WAN IP address of your router to see if it registers
as 192.168.100.x. If this is the case, check your
modem as it may have difficulties contacting the
network.

Problem 2: The Internet stopped working.

Try one of the following solutions:

 Check to see if your WiFi signal is on. If it is off, login

to Web GUI and check that your wireless network is
enabled.

 Restart your computer and attempt to reconnect to your

WiFi.

 Check cables.

 Check and tighten the coaxial cable connection

from the wall to the back of your modem. Verify
that the coaxial connectors are not damaged at
each end. The connector's metal pins should
be intact and straight.

 Ensure that one end of the Ethernet cable is

plugged into the Ethernet port on the back of
the modem and that the other end is connected
to the WAN/Internet (yellow) port on the back of
your router.

Sagemcom F@st 5260

Chapter 5: Troubleshooting

 If you still cannot reconnect, restart your network:

 Turn both the modem and the router off. If you

are using a battery backup, you will also need
to disconnect the battery from the modem.

 Wait 2 minutes.
 Turn modem on. Wait two minutes.
 Turn router on. Wait two minutes.

 If you still cannot connect, refer to your ISP.

Problem 3: The Internet is slow.

Try one of the following solutions:

 Reboot your router. Refer to p. 27 "Rebooting your

router" for instructions.

 Check your WiFi band. Most devices including your

router works on the 2.4 GHz band (e.g. microwave
ovens, baby monitors, and other electronic devices).
Reposition your router away from other electronic
devices to avoid interference.

 On your device: If you see the network name ending in

-5G, your device is 5GHz-capable. Connecting to the
‘5G’ network may provide a better experience.

 Change the WiFi channel used on your device. For

instructions, please see p. 14.

 Reposition your device to be within 10 feet of your

router. Connection speed decreases as you move
farther away from the router. By repositioning your
device, you can determine whether the performance is
related to wireless range.

Problem 4: The WiFi signal drops.

 Check to see if another device is using the 2.4 GHz

band or a material such as glass, water or metal are
causing interference. If so, reposition your router away
from the item. Refer to p. 6 "Router Positioning".

Problem 5: Cannot connect wireless device to
router.

Try one of the following solutions:

 Ensure that your device's WiFi is enabled and that the

WiFi light is green. If it is not, refer to p.13 to enable
WiFi.

 Ensure that your device supports WPA2 encryption. If

not, refer to p.13 to change the encryption mode.

 Verify that you are connecting to the correct network by

checking the SSID (name of network) and its
password.

Problem 6: Locked out of the Web GUI.

 Restore factory defaults on your router. Refer to p. 29

for instructions.

 Thereafter, login to the Web GUI using the default

username and password listed on the router label.

 Refer to p. 11 to change your local access password.
