Huawei Router and Modem Settings

Huawei routers and modems often use 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.8.1. Default login is usually admin; the password may be admin or printed on the sticker. See Router Passwords.

How to Log In

1. Connect to the Huawei WiFi or with Ethernet.
2. Open a browser and go to http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.8.1 (or the address on the sticker).
3. Enter the default username and password (often admin / admin or from sticker).
4. Some Huawei devices use 192.168.8.1 for the web interface.

WiFi Settings

In the Huawei interface, go to WLAN or WiFi. Change the SSID (network name) and WiFi password. Save and reconnect your devices.

DNS and Internet

Under Network or Internet / WAN you can set DNS servers. Enter 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for Google DNS. See DNS Settings.

Reset Huawei Router/Modem

Use the reset button (small hole). Hold for about 10–15 seconds until the device restarts. Factory settings and default password will be restored. You may need to reconfigure WiFi and, if you use PPPoE or ISP-specific settings, enter them again. Full steps: Reset Huawei Router or Modem.

192.168.8.1 and Mobile Routers

Some Huawei devices, especially mobile WiFi (MiFi) or LTE routers, use 192.168.8.1 as the default gateway. The web interface may look different from a standard home router but the main options (WiFi name and password, admin password, sometimes DNS) are usually under WLAN or Network. The default password is often on the sticker or in the quick start guide.
