Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What can I do if I encounter any of the following issues when configuring the router?
• If your device did not detect the router’s Wi-Fi: Ensure that the router is powered on. Wait for a moment (till the router is started) and try to search again on your device.
• If you cannot visit the router’s configuration page on your device: Ensure that your device is
connected to the router’s Wi-Fi network, and then enter 192.168.3.1 in the browser to visit this page on your device.
• If the page displays “Cable disconnected”: Ensure that the router’s WAN port is connected to the modem’s LAN port, and the modem has Internet access. Check that all joints are securely connected and in good contact, and the network cables are in good condition.

If the issue persists, restore the router to the factory settings, and follow the guide to reconnect the cables and configure the router.

Q2: How do I restore the router to its factory settings?
Connect the router to the power supply and wait until the router completes the startup process. Use a needle or pin to press the RESET button on the router for more than two seconds until the indicator light goes out. Wait for the router to complete the restart process. When the indicator turns red, this indicates that the router has been restored to its factory settings. If the router has been factory reset, you need to configure it again.

Q3: How do I connect an add-on HUAWEI router (with H/Hi button) to my HUAWEI WiFi AX3’s network?
You can connect the router in either of the following ways:

• Wired connection. Connect the WAN port of the add-on router (new or restored to factory settings) to the LAN port of the configured HUAWEI WiFi AX3 using an Ethernet cable.
• Wireless connection (using the H button). Step 1: Place the add-on router (new or restored to factory settings) within one meter of the configured HUAWEI WiFi AX3 and connect it to the power supply. Step 2: When the indicator on the HUAWEI WiFi AX3 starts to flash, press the H button on it. Wait until the indicator on the add-on router shows it is connected to the network.

The following HUAWEI device models are supported: WS5800, WS7100 and WS7200. For details about more device models, see the device manual.

Q4: How do I connect a Wi-Fi device to my router using WPS?
When your router is powered on, press its H button, and then press the WPS button on the Wi-Fi device (such as a phone) within two minutes, to initiate standard WPS negotiation and connect the Wi-Fi device to the router’s Wi-Fi network.

Q5: What should I do if I forget my login password for the app or the router’s web-based management page?
Try using the router’s Wi-Fi password to login. If the issue persists, restore the router to the factory settings.

Q6: What should I do if some of my devices cannot find or connect to the Wi-Fi?
This router supports Wi-Fi 6, which is the new generation Wi-Fi technology that can improve network speeds for Wi-Fi 6 devices. However, some earlier devices, such as laptops using Intel network adapters, may not be able to find or connect to the Wi-Fi due to compatibility issues. In this case, try to update the software version of the devices by referring to the device instruction manual, or perform the following operations:
Update the router and the HUAWEI smart device management app to the latest version. Then open the app, touch the router icon, touch Show more, search for and enable Backup Wi-Fi 5, and connect your device to the Wi-Fi 5 network.

Unlock your phone, enable NFC on it, and touch the NFC area on the back against the NFC area on the router, then follow the onscreen instructions to connect the phone to the Wi-Fi network. This feature is available on Android devices that support NFC, but some devices with non-standard NFC may be unable to connect. iOS devices do not support connecting through NFC.

Q8: How do I connect my router to the HUAWEI CPE to expand the Wi-Fi network?
