Accessing your Huawei Router’s admin panel will allow you to configure WiFi settings, change passwords, manage security options, set up guest networks, and control various router functions. The admin panel serves as the central hub for all router configurations and network customizations.
How to Login to Huawei Router
Establishing a connection between your device and the Huawei Router is the first requirement for login. You can achieve this by connecting to the router’s WiFi network or using an Ethernet cable. Once your device is connected to the Huawei Router, follow these steps to access the web-based management interface:
- Open a web browser and type the router’s default IP address in the address bar: http://192.168.3.1/ or http://192.168.1.1 and press Enter.
- A login page will appear requiring you to enter the login username and password. For most Huawei Router models, the default login information is:
- Enter these login details and click “Login.”
- You will now be logged into your Huawei Router Admin Panel.
Username: admin
Password: [email protected] or Admin@huawei
Forgot Login Password?
The default login username and password provide access to the router’s admin panel, where you can modify these details to your preference. However, some users forget their customized login information after changing it, preventing access to the router’s admin panel and settings.
If you find yourself in this situation, performing a factory reset will resolve the issue. A factory reset restores all settings to their original defaults, including any modified username and password. Here’s how to factory reset your Huawei Router:
- Locate the small RESET button on the back of the router.
- With the router powered on, use a paperclip or pin to press and hold the RESET button for approximately 5 seconds, then release.
- The LED lights will blink and turn off as the router restarts.
- Once the router completes its restart, all settings will be restored to factory defaults.
