Can't find your Huawei router's default IP gateway? Whether you are configuring a consumer Wi-Fi router (192.168.3.1), a mobile cellular router (192.168.8.1), or a GPON ONT terminal (192.168.100.1), this guide details how to find the IP address on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS.
When cascading a Huawei router behind an ISP modem, the Huawei router may automatically shift its IP subnet to 192.168.8.1 or 192.168.100.1 to avoid collision. If 192.168.3.1 fails to load, query your system configuration to find the new IP address.
Use the following directory table to cross-reference common Huawei router models with their factory default IP address and subnet masks:
| Router Model / Series | Default IP Address | Subnet Mask | Access Link |
|---|---|---|---|
| Huawei WiFi AX3 (Dual/Quad Core) | 192.168.3.1 | 255.255.255.0 | 192.168.3.1 Guide |
| Huawei B535 / B818 4G LTE Router | 192.168.8.1 | 255.255.255.0 | 192.168.8.1 Guide |
| Huawei HG8145V5 / HG8245H GPON ONT | 192.168.100.1 | 255.255.255.0 | 192.168.100.1 Guide |
| Legacy Huawei HG532 ADSL Modems | 192.168.1.1 | 255.255.255.0 | 192.168.1.1 Guide |
Once you have retrieved your gateway IP, use these steps to securely access and manage your router panel:
Open a browser and type the IP address exactly (e.g., 192.168.3.1) into the search bar. Do not append search suffixes like ".com" or wrap the numbers in search engine quotes. Press Enter to load the landing page.
Input default credentials such as Username telecomadmin and Password admintelecom for fiber gateways, or log in with your custom administrator password for AX series routers. Look up details in our Huawei router password directory.
Expand your network knowledge with our related resource guides:
Upstream gateway conflicts force the Huawei router to re-route its LAN IP to 192.168.8.1 or 192.168.100.1 to prevent IP address clashes.
Your computer has a manually configured static IP address from a different network range, blocking communication with the Huawei subnet.
Encrypted VPN routing overrides local gateway paths, sending IP requests through external VPN servers instead of the local router gateway.
Ensure your Windows machine is connected to the Huawei router's Wi-Fi or LAN network. Press the Windows Key + R to open the Run utility. Type 'cmd' and press Enter to load the Command Prompt. Inside the command interface, type 'ipconfig' and press Enter. Scroll down the output list to locate your active adapter (e.g. Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi). Find the row labeled 'Default Gateway'. The numerical sequence shown there (such as 192.168.3.1) is your Huawei router's active IP address.
On macOS, connect to the Huawei router's network. Click the Apple logo icon in the top-left corner of the screen and select 'System Settings' (or System Preferences). Navigate to the 'Network' tab in the left sidebar. Click on your active network interface (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) from the lists, and then click on the 'Details...' button next to the network name. In the configuration popup window, click on the 'TCP/IP' tab. Your Huawei default IP is displayed next to the label 'Router'.
Open your Android device's main Settings app and navigate to 'Network & Internet' -> 'Internet' (or 'Wi-Fi'). Tap the gear icon next to your active connected Wi-Fi SSID network name. Scroll down to the bottom of the network configuration list. Depending on your Android version, you will find the gateway IP address listed directly under 'Gateway' or 'Router', showing the active LAN subnet.
On an iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app. Tap on the 'Wi-Fi' section. Find your active connected network name, which is marked with a blue checkmark, and tap the blue information 'i' circle icon next to it. Scroll down to the IPv4 Address section. The gateway IP address of your Huawei router is displayed next to the label 'Router'.
If your gateway IP displays 169.254.x.x, your router's DHCP server has failed or crashed. If power-cycling the router does not resolve this, contact your service provider or manufacturer, as the NVRAM chip or DHCP daemon might be damaged.
192.168.3.1 is the global factory default gateway chosen by Huawei engineers for all consumer Wi-Fi routers. Using a distinct subnet range like 192.168.3.X prevents IP conflicts when users daisy-chain the Huawei router behind standard modems which typically use 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1.
Connect your PC directly to LAN Port 1 on the ONT using an Ethernet cable. Open your browser and navigate to http://192.168.100.1. Enter the administrator credentials telecomadmin / admintelecom to log in.
Yes. If you plug your Huawei router's WAN port into a modem that already uses 192.168.3.1, the Huawei router detects the IP conflict. To resolve it, the router automatically shifts its LAN subnet range to 192.168.8.1 or 192.168.100.1. Always check your device's network settings to locate the active gateway.
hi.link is a local domain name (mDNS hostname) programmed into Huawei router firmwares. When you type 'hi.link' into your browser, the router redirects the request to its local IP address (typically 192.168.3.1), saving you from remembering the numerical sequence.
Log into the admin panel, navigate to WAN or Internet settings, change the Connection Type from DHCP/Auto to Static IP, and input the static IP, subnet mask, gateway IP, and DNS servers supplied by your ISP.
