P8 Smartphone FAQs
1.16 Why can't my phone connect to the router over the
Wi-Fi network and why does my phone fail to obtain an
IP address?
Check whether the dynamic DHCP address allocation is enabled on the router. Do not set the
DHCP duration to a short interval. The recommended DHCP duration is 2 hours or longer. If
the dynamic DHCP address allocation is enabled on the router, set a static IP address for your
phone.

Do not touch the Wi-Fi antenna on your phone.
If your phone is far from the Wi-Fi router or is isolated from the Wi-Fi router by a wall,
the signal strength is weakened, resulting in a decreased network speed or poor signal
quality.
Make sure your phone's protection cover is made of plastics or leather instead of metal,
because the metallic protection cover blocks your phone's antenna signals.
Check the specifications of the router. If the router supports 5 GHz Wi-Fi, place the
router at a higher position.
Check whether other devices are transmitting massive data traffic, for example, using
Huawei MediaQ to watch TV or using the laptop to download movies. If yes, properly
arrange the network resources.
Use the Speedtest or similar software to test the Wi-Fi rate.
