If the default login is rejected, the password was changed. The only way back in without it is a factory reset.

Change your Wi-Fi name and password

  1. Log in at 192.168.3.1 with the admin username and password.
  2. Open the Wireless (or WLAN / Wi-Fi) section.
  3. Change the SSID to set a new network name.
  4. Set security to WPA2-PSK or WPA3 and type a new password of at least 12 characters in the “Password”, “Pre-Shared Key” or “WPA Passphrase” box.
  5. Save or apply. Your devices will disconnect — reconnect them with the new password.

How to reset a Huawei router

Hold the Reset button for about 10 seconds; the ONT or router restarts with factory settings. The router restarts with the factory Wi-Fi name, password and admin login from the label. You will need to set up your internet connection again, so keep your ISP username and password handy.

More detail: how to reset your router.

192.168.3.1 not opening? Fixes that work

  • Connect to the router first. Use its Wi-Fi or a LAN cable — mobile data will never reach 192.168.3.1.
  • Type it in the address bar, not the search box, and include http:// — http://192.168.3.1. Many routers have no HTTPS page.
  • Check for typos: only numbers and dots. The letter “l” or “o” in place of 1 or 0 will not work.
  • Your router may use a different address. Check the default gateway (see above) or the label.
  • Turn off VPN, proxy or “Private Relay”. They send traffic outside your home network.
  • Try another browser or a private window, and clear the cache.
  • Restart the router: unplug it for 30 seconds, then wait two minutes after plugging it back in.
  • Still stuck? A factory reset restores the default address and password.
