FAQ
What is the difference between Huawei devices using 192.168.8.1 vs 192.168.3.1?
192.168.8.1 is used by Huawei's LTE and 4G home broadband gateways (B315, B525, B818) - devices that use a SIM card for connectivity. 192.168.3.1 is used by Huawei's standalone Wi-Fi routers that connect to an existing broadband line. If your device has a SIM slot, expect 192.168.8.1. If it is a pure Wi-Fi router connected via Ethernet to a modem, expect 192.168.3.1.
The Two-Address Huawei Universe
Huawei splits its consumer networking into two families and gives each its own default gateway, which produces endless confusion. Home Wi-Fi routers, the AX3, BE-series, WS-series, answer here at 192.168.3.1. Mobile broadband devices, everything with a SIM slot from the B315 to 5G CPE units and pocket hotspots, live at 192.168.8.1 instead. If this page's address gets you nowhere and your Huawei takes a SIM card, that's the wrong-family symptom and the .8.1 page is your answer.
Newer units add the hi.link shortcut hostname and lean increasingly on the AI Life app for setup, but unlike Eero or Deco, Huawei kept the full web panel alive on every model. The H button on top of many of these routers is Huawei's one-touch pairing, hold it near another Huawei router and they mesh, it doubles as WPS for ordinary devices.
Credentials changed across generations too: older WS units really did use admin/admin, but current firmware makes you invent a login password on first setup and offers to reuse your Wi-Fi password for it. Convenient, though it means half of all owners genuinely don't remember having set an admin password at all. Try your Wi-Fi password before reaching for the reset pin.
