For security and personal reasons (like a newer password that will be easier to remember and harder for hackers to guess), you'll want to change your password occasionally. This wikiHow article will teach you how to change your Huawei WiFi password using your web browser or the Huawei AI Life mobile app. Either method will work if you use Huawei routers like the mobile Wi-Fi routers or mesh system.

Method 1

Method 1 of 2:

Using Your Browser

1
Go to your router's web-based management page. There is usually a numerical web address (similar to 192.168.3.1) printed on the side or at the bottom of your router along with your username and password. Insert this numerical address in the URL bar of any web browser as long as you're connected to your router's WiFi or plugged in with an ethernet cable.
- If you don't have the mobile app, this is a great alternative to use.
2
Enter your username and password, then click Log In. The default username and password are located on your router.

Click the Wi-Fi Settings tab. You should see any of these near the top of the page next to Network Settings and Tools.

Enter a new password in the "Wi-Fi Password" field. You can click the eye icon to see what you're typing.
- If you don't see this, click Wi-Fi Basic Settings in the menu on the left side of the page.
5
Click Save. You'll see this at the bottom of the page. Once you save your settings, all of the devices in your Wi-Fi network will need to enter the new password to continue using the network.^{[1]

- If you want to prevent someone from using your Wi-Fi, open a web browser and go to your router's homepage.

- Click on that to see the list of all the people connected to your Wi-Fi network. Click on the name of the person you want to remove. You can block the person, device, IP, or MAC address.
