Huawei Router Login and HiLink Setup Guide
Huawei routers use either 192.168.1.1 (DSL/FTTH models) or 192.168.8.1 (LTE models) as the admin gateway. Also accessible via the HiLink mobile app.
Huawei Router Product Lines
Huawei produces several distinct categories of networking hardware, each with its own default IP address and access method. Identifying your model before login saves significant troubleshooting time.

How to Log In
Check the label on the device. LTE/4G devices typically list "LTE" or a B/E model number. DSL devices list "ADSL/VDSL." FTTH ONT devices list "GPON" or "ONT." ISP-supplied units may have different labels.
Connect via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Open a browser and go to the correct IP from the table above. LTE models also support http://hi.link as a hostname.
Download the Huawei HiLink app for iOS or Android. It connects automatically to compatible routers on your network and provides full management including remote access.

ISP-supplied Huawei ONTs (HG8245H, HG8120) use telecomadmin / admintelecom. ISP may also have changed these. Contact your ISP for ONT access credentials.

FAQ
My Huawei ONT has credentials that don't match admin/admin - why?
FTTH ONT devices (HG8245H, HG8120, etc.) supplied by ISPs typically have their credentials changed from defaults by the ISP before installation. The ISP configures these devices remotely and may not share the admin credentials with customers. Standard access is usually through a lower-privilege account - try the credentials on the device label, or contact your ISP for admin access.
