Huawei Router Login: 192.168.3.1 and Password
Huawei router login addresses by device: 192.168.3.1 for WiFi routers, 192.168.8.1 for 4G and mobile WiFi, 192.168.100.1 for ONTs. Passwords and reset.
I have been locked out of my Huawei login page, and the cause is often small. People type the wrong address, or they try a password that was never set.
192.168.3.1 is the page that opens your Huawei router settings. When it will not open, the fix is often small. This guide walks you through opening it and signing in. Huawei calls this the web-based management page: it is where every router setting lives.
Open 192.168.3.1 in your browser and sign in with the username and password on your router label.
The fastest way in: tap the login button in the box at the top of this page, then sign in with the details on your router label.
How to log in to your Huawei router
In my experience, this is the part that trips most people up.
- Connect your phone or computer to the Huawei WiFi network, or plug in a network cable.
- Open a browser and go to http://192.168.3.1 or http://192.168.3.1.
- Enter the admin username and password. Use the table below to match your Huawei device type.
- Change the default admin password from the administration or system menu.
Huawei default IP address, username and password
I have seen this done wrong more than once, so I keep it simple here.
| Model or type | Login address | Username | Password |
|---|---|---|---|
| Huawei WiFi AX2, AX3, WS series | 192.168.3.1 | (not needed) | Set during setup |
| Huawei 4G / 5G routers (B310, B535, B818, CPE Pro) | 192.168.8.1 | admin | admin or on label |
| Huawei mobile WiFi (E5 series) | 192.168.8.1 | admin | admin or on label |
| Huawei fiber ONT (provider-supplied) | 192.168.100.1 | On label | On label |
Defaults differ by model and firmware. If these do not work, check the label on your router or reset it. On a provider-supplied fiber ONT, the ISP’s super-admin account is often telecomadmin.
Log in with the Huawei AI Life app
I check this before I change anything else.
The Huawei AI Life app manages Huawei WiFi routers and many 4G routers. It covers setup, WiFi name and password, guest WiFi and parental controls. Older Huawei routers used the HiLink app instead.
Huawei router login not working?
I treat this as a quick check, not a deep setting.
1. Check your connection
Your device must be connected to the router’s WiFi or plugged in with a cable. Turn off mobile data on phones, because the router page cannot be reached over a cellular connection.
2. Type the address correctly
Type http://192.168.3.1 in the address bar, not the search box. Use only numbers and dots. Do not add www or .com. Our IP Address Checker fixes common typos.
3. Confirm the router IP
Your router may use a different address. Use the Router IP Finder to read the exact Default Gateway from your device.
4. Try another browser or a private window
Clear the browser cache or open a private window. Some browsers force HTTPS, so type http:// at the start.
5. Restart the router
Unplug the router for 30 seconds, plug it back in, wait two minutes and try again.
6. Turn off VPN or proxy apps
A VPN sends your traffic to another network, so your local router cannot be reached until you disconnect it.
How to change your Huawei WiFi name and password
I would rather confirm it now than fix it later.
- Log in at http://192.168.3.1 with the admin username and password.
- Open Wireless, WiFi or WLAN settings. On dual-band routers, edit both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks.
- Change the SSID to set a new WiFi name.
- Choose WPA2-PSK (AES) or WPA3 security and enter a new password. Our WiFi Password Generator creates a strong one.
- Click Save or Apply, then reconnect your devices with the new password.
How to reset a Huawei router
I always start with the router page for this.
Hold the Reset or H button with a pin for about 3 to 10 seconds while the device is on, until the lights change. WiFi routers return to setup mode at 192.168.3.1, and 4G routers return to the login on their label at 192.168.8.1.
Note: a factory reset erases your WiFi name, password and other settings. Keep any internet provider login details ready before you reset.
