Log into Your Huawei Router and Change Wi-Fi Password: 2 Methods Available

Changing the Wi-Fi password through the router's admin interface is a routine and necessary task for network management, crucial for maintaining network stability and security. This guide is designed for Huawei router users. If you're unfamiliar with how to log in to your Huawei router and change the Wi-Fi password, follow the steps below.

Using the web management interface to change the Wi-Fi password is a traditional method that applies to any router. You can log in through the web to access the router's settings and modify the Wi-Fi password. Here's how:

1. Connect to the router: Use a computer or smartphone to connect to your Huawei router's Wi-Fi network, or connect directly to the router's LAN port using an Ethernet cable.

2. Open your browser: Launch a browser (such as Chrome, Firefox, or Safari) on your computer or phone, and enter your Huawei router's management IP address in the address bar (typically 192.168.3.1, or the modified IP if you've changed it), then press Enter.

3. Log in to the admin interface: On the login page, enter the administrator username and password for your router, then click "Login." If the default admin credentials have not been changed, it’s usually admin/admin or admin/password. If you’ve modified them before, enter your custom password. If you’ve forgotten the admin password, try resetting the router, and log in with the default username and password.

4. Access Wi-Fi settings: After logging in, you'll be taken to the "Home" or "Setup Wizard" page. Look for "Wi-Fi Settings," "My Wi-Fi," or a similar option in the top or side menu.

5. Change the password: In the "My Wi-Fi" section, you’ll see your current Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and Wi-Fi password. Find the "Wi-Fi Password" or similar option, update it with your new password, and click "Save" to apply the changes.

Most Huawei routers now support management through the app, making it easy and convenient to change the Wi-Fi password using the "Huawei AI Life" app. Here's how to do it:

1. Connect your phone to the Wi-Fi network: Before you start, make sure your phone is connected to the Huawei router's Wi-Fi network so you can manage the router through the app.

2. Download and open the Huawei AI Life app: If you don't have the app installed on your phone, go to the Huawei App Store or the Apple App Store, search for "Huawei AI Life" and install it. Once installed, open the app and log in with your Huawei account. If you don’t have an account, follow the prompts to register.

3. Log in and find the router: After logging in, the app's homepage will display your currently connected router. Locate and tap on the router you want to change the Wi-Fi password for.

4. Enter the router's management interface: After selecting the router, you’ll be taken to its management interface.

5. Access Wi-Fi settings: In the management interface, tap "More Features" → "Wi-Fi Management" → "Wi-Fi Settings" (or "Network" → "Wi-Fi Management" → "Wi-Fi Settings").

6. Change the Wi-Fi password: In the "Wi-Fi Password" field, enter your new password and tap "Save." Your Wi-Fi password is now updated.

• If you can’t find your router in the app, it may be because your phone is not connected to the router's Wi-Fi network, or the router hasn't been linked to your Huawei account. Make sure your phone is connected to the correct network and add the device in the "AI Life" app.
• When setting a password, try to use a complex combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Avoid using simple combinations like "12345678" or your birthdate, as these can be easily guessed and may lead to unauthorized access.
• After changing the password, you'll need to reconnect all your devices using the new password.
• It's recommended to periodically change your Wi-Fi password to prevent security breaches.
