How to Set Up a WiFi Hotspot on Your Huawei Router — My Step-by-Step Guide
Posted by Attic Technologies
Hey there tech enthusiasts!
Today, I want to walk you through something super practical that many of our clients ask us about: how to set up a WiFi hotspot using a Huawei router. I’ve put together a quick video tutorial showing the whole process step by step, and in this post, I’ll break it down for you with a few helpful notes.
Whether you're setting up a shared internet connection at your business, preparing a backup hotspot at home, or just learning the ropes, this guide has you covered.
Step 1: Accessing the Router Interface
First things first — you’ll need to log in to your Huawei router. Open your browser and type in the default IP address (usually 192.168.8.1 or 192.168.1.1). Enter your login credentials — if you haven’t changed them, they should be on a sticker on the router.
Step 2: Navigating to the WiFi Settings
Once inside the router dashboard, head over to the Settings section and then select WiFi or WLAN settings. This is where we customize everything from the network name (SSID) to the password.
Step 3: Creating the Hotspot
Now here’s the fun part. Enable the hotspot feature if it isn’t already active. Set a unique SSID (name your WiFi something memorable — I always go for something fun but professional), and make sure to choose WPA2 or WPA3 encryption for maximum security. Then set your password — strong, but not something you’ll forget.
Step 4: Advanced Settings (Optional but Handy)
You can also tweak additional settings like:
Limiting the number of connected devices
Setting up a guest network
Scheduling WiFi availability (handy for managing usage in a shared space)
Step 5: Save and Test
Hit Apply or Save, and wait for the router to reboot if necessary. Once it’s back online, use your phone or laptop to connect to the newly created hotspot and confirm it’s working as expected.
I love how easy Huawei has made it to configure these settings, even if you’re not super techy. In the video tutorial I’ve posted above, I walk through the entire process with visuals, so make sure to give it a watch if you’re more of a visual learner.
