Currently, many types of different devices are actively used. The methods for entering their settings also differ.
A significant number of devices are configured by connecting to a computer with a patch cord or via a wireless connection, and a large army also uses equipment connected via USB.
There is always a printed or electronic manual included with the device, which describes how to enter the control panel of a particular device.
But in the case where this instruction is missing, you can use the universal guide presented below.
Personal Area
Users are interested in how to enter the modem settings. This can be done from your personal account. The combination 192.168.0.1 is entered in the browser and the device panel opens. You can find out about connecting to an access point and set up a connection to the Internet. If everything is done correctly, you are allowed to visit the site from a smartphone, tablet, or other devices.
Important ! Suitable browsers include Opera, Chrome, Mozilla Firefox. You can also check information about your own IP address in your personal account.
How to open Huawei modem settings?
First you need to connect the modem to your computer. If you have a regular USB modem, for example Huawei E3372, then simply connect it to the USB port of your laptop or desktop computer.
A mobile Wi-Fi router can usually also be connected to a computer via a USB cable.
When the modem is connected to a computer via cable, it is identified as a virtual network card (RNDIS adapter).
If you have a modem with Wi-Fi distribution function (mobile router), then you can connect to it via a Wi-Fi network. Not only from a PC (via Wi-Fi adapter) or laptop, but also from a tablet or phone. The factory network name (SSID) and password (Key) are usually indicated under the cover of the Huawei modem itself.
After connecting the modem to the computer via cable for the first time, you will most likely need to install drivers. In most cases, it is enough to complete the installation in the window that appears immediately after connecting the modem.
Most likely, after this the browser will automatically open, the page at https://192.168.8.1 will load and you will see the modem’s home page. It looks something like this:
If the modem's web interface does not open automatically, you can do it manually.

An interesting question is how to enter the settings of the MTS USB modem. If we consider versions RT-G32, RT-N10, then the combination 192.168.1.1 is selected for them. There are also options with a zero at the end - 192.168.1.10. To save changes, login information is entered. By default this label is admin. Some users change it and then have problems starting the router. To solve the problem, you need to roll back to factory settings.
Modem and SIM card from different operators
Externally and functionally resembling a flash drive, the device contains information in memory (automatically built-in software that requires the use of a SIM card of a specific operator). If you decide to go against the system and insert a Beeline or Megafon SIM card into the MTS modem, nothing will work, since the software will not be able to work correctly. It would be logical to think about changing the operator, but it’s too easy.
Reconfiguring the modem to work with different operators is troublesome. “Unlock” it, i.e. There are several ways to replace a program located in the device’s memory that allows access to work with other operators:
- through a program that generates a special code to remove the lock. On the plus side: you don’t have to reflash the device; many similar programs are freely available. Of the minuses: despite the generated code, the result is not always achieved, and you have to reflash the device.
- flashing. Pros: the process is simple, effective, and takes up to 10 minutes. Of the minuses: if the procedure is carried out incorrectly, you will lose your modem.
To avoid unnecessary problems, carefully check whether the selected program or firmware archive is suitable for your modem model.
Use the following video material as a guide to action.

Depending on the type of connection, the design option is selected. The router is configured via COM or LAN. If startup fails, you should use the Reset function. In the window when connecting, the system asks for a password. Depending on the manufacturer, options 1234, password are provided. When you log in through a browser, a management console opens with categories:
- basic settings,
- connections,
- selection of equipment,
- active mode,
- dns server,
- conservation.
Possible problems and their solutions
The system for connecting to the Internet using a modem is currently as automated as possible. Companies that develop such equipment are interested in ensuring that the user, by inserting a SIM card into the device and connecting it all to a laptop, immediately receives a connection to the World Wide Web.
Therefore, possible problems only occur when the user or the computer system tries to interrupt this automated process. And in order for the subscriber to avoid possible connection problems, he should make sure that all the latest versions of drivers are installed on the computer, and simply do not turn off the system.

Mobile operator settings
To open modem settings from a mobile operator, use a disk or third-party programs. It is also allowed to perform the necessary manipulations using a personal computer. USB devices use a separate algorithm.
Antenna for a computer to strengthen the Wi-Fi signal
Using disk
With the mobile operator Megafon, MTS or Rostelecom, settings are most often made without the participation of third-party programs. However, the disk allows you to enter automatic parameters. A standard IP address is used, which can be changed later.
In modems EC315, 3372h, parameters are checked automatically. You must burn the utility for a specific model to the disk. When connected to a PC, information is read and the active window is launched from the toolbar.
Login to settings
USB-modem Huawei, ZTE is easy to use, you only need to use one SIM card. SIM cards with 4G standard are supported. The computer connects to the USB port. Next, you log in and select admin.
Important ! Using Beeline and Rostelecom as an example, it’s easy to understand the connection. All parameters are located in the top panel of the window; you need to select a profile. The access point and protection data are filled in.
Via PC
If you are using a Byfly, TP Link or Gpon modem, you can make settings via a personal computer.
Action algorithm:
- connecting the device via cable,
- choosing a network control center,
- change settings,
- adapter settings,
- connection selection,
- go to properties,
- telephone connection,
- opening access,
- checking permissions,
- connection to local network.
If we look at the Windows 10 system, the Ethernet tab is used. Upon completion of the operation, all that remains is to select “save” and press the OK button.
Connecting the equipment
Let's consider a standard situation that does not require installing network card drivers, configuring it, determining the IP address via the command line, and other manipulations. In 90% of cases you can do without them. A separate chapter of this article will be devoted to problems that arise during the process of logging into the router.
What you need to connect the router:
- Network cable that comes with the equipment (any LAN cable will do, except wires crimped for direct connection of two computers);
- Availability of a network adapter on the connected computer or laptop;
- The router that needs to be configured.
The equipment installation process is as follows: you need to connect the network cable to the appropriate connectors of the router and computer. On a PC, this is the RJ-45 port located on the motherboard. Almost all computers and most laptops have at least one such connector.
Routers have 5 or more network ports (3 on very budget models). The blue connector (there may be inscriptions under it: WAN/line/Internet) is intended for connecting the provider’s cable, or any other cable through which the Internet “enters” the router. To log into the router control panel, use other network ports. They are usually yellow and labeled “Lan1”, “Lan2” and so on - as many ports as there are numbers.
The power cord of the access point is connected to the appropriate connector, and to start it, just plug the adapter into the power supply.
Options not available
The above describes how to access the modem settings through a browser. However, users face a number of difficulties. The treasured panel does not appear and we have to solve the problem.
Options to correct the situation:
- address verification,
- change of subsystem,
- proxy server,
- different network interface,
- eating difficulties,
- lack of port,
- knot is broken.
Incorrectly entered address
The router responds to a specific address. Using the example of WiFiGid, it is clear how developers often resort to non-standard solutions. If the address is entered incorrectly, it is recommended to double-check the IP. This can be done directly from your phone or connect a personal computer.
Important ! The gateway is another common problem. It is advisable to log in with automatic settings.
The address is in a different subnet
It is impossible to configure the modem if the subsystem is not checked. It is important to go to Internet Protocol and select automatic settings. Using D Link as an example, IP and DNS are set. When changing a subsystem, it is important to save the settings. This way you can use the standard login via the browser line.
Proxy server activated
The proxy server messes up the modem settings, so you won’t be able to log into the service. The same goes for Turbo mode. The PC is suspicious of commands. He knows about problems and suspects the browser (using viruses).
Network interface is deactivated
The network interface is the base without which the modem cannot function. To check the settings, you need to go to your PC using the following path:
- control Panel,
- network connection,
- device Manager,
- available adapters,
- interface update.
Power deactivated
It is very rare that you cannot log into the modem due to deactivated power. When the device is not connected to a power outlet, no signal is sent to the board. The technicians recommend looking at the wire; if necessary, it will have to be replaced.
Using a non-standard port to enter settings
To log into the modem to configure it, you can use non-standard ports. Manufacturers adhere to the standard in this matter so that users can use the browser. If an error occurs, then it is recommended to check the port.
In some cases, the system automatically redirects the user. Before the procedure, the reset button is pressed, the device must be given time. Switching on occurs after a 30 second delay. After this, the settings are updated. Using the Ethernet output, it is easy to connect to almost any modem.
