How to enable WPS on a Huawei Wifi Router?

Oct 17, 2025Leave a message

As a supplier of Huawei Wifi Router, I often receive inquiries from customers about how to enable WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) on their Huawei routers. WPS is a convenient feature that allows users to connect devices to a Wi-Fi network without having to enter the network password manually. In this blog post, I will guide you through the process of enabling WPS on a Huawei Wifi Router.

Understanding WPS

Before we dive into the steps, let's briefly understand what WPS is and how it works. WPS is a standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance to simplify the process of connecting devices to a Wi-Fi network. It provides two main methods for connecting devices: Push Button Configuration (PBC) and PIN (Personal Identification Number) Configuration.

  • Push Button Configuration (PBC): This method allows you to connect devices to the Wi-Fi network by pressing the WPS button on the router and then pressing the WPS button on the device within a short period.
  • PIN Configuration: This method requires you to enter a unique PIN code provided by the router or the device to establish a connection.

Prerequisites

Before enabling WPS on your Huawei Wifi Router, make sure you have the following:

  • A Huawei Wifi Router. You can find a variety of Huawei Wifi Routers on our website Huawei Wifi Router.
  • A device that supports WPS, such as a laptop, smartphone, or tablet.
  • Access to the router's web-based management interface. You can usually access this interface by entering the router's IP address into a web browser on a device connected to the router's network.

Enabling WPS on a Huawei Wifi Router

The process of enabling WPS on a Huawei Wifi Router may vary slightly depending on the model and firmware version of your router. However, the general steps are as follows:

Step 1: Access the Router's Web-Based Management Interface

  1. Connect your device (e.g., laptop or smartphone) to the Huawei Wifi Router's network. You can connect via Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable.
  2. Open a web browser on your device and enter the router's IP address in the address bar. The default IP address for most Huawei routers is 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.8.1. If you have changed the IP address, use the new one.
  3. Press Enter. You will be prompted to enter the router's username and password. The default username and password are usually admin for both. If you have changed them, use the new credentials.

Step 2: Navigate to the WPS Settings Page

  1. Once you have logged in to the router's web-based management interface, look for the "WPS" or "Wi-Fi Protected Setup" option in the menu. The location of this option may vary depending on the router model and firmware version.
  2. Click on the "WPS" option to access the WPS settings page.

Step 3: Enable WPS

  1. On the WPS settings page, you will see two main options: "Push Button Configuration (PBC)" and "PIN Configuration". You can choose either method depending on your preference.
    • Push Button Configuration (PBC): If you choose this method, click on the "Enable" button next to "Push Button Configuration". Then, press the WPS button on your Huawei Wifi Router. The button is usually located on the back or side of the router.
    • PIN Configuration: If you choose this method, click on the "Enable" button next to "PIN Configuration". The router will generate a unique PIN code. You can use this PIN code to connect devices to the Wi-Fi network.

Step 4: Connect Devices to the Wi-Fi Network

  1. Using Push Button Configuration (PBC): After pressing the WPS button on the router, press the WPS button on your device within two minutes. The device will automatically connect to the Wi-Fi network.
  2. Using PIN Configuration: On your device, select the option to connect to a Wi-Fi network using WPS PIN. Enter the PIN code generated by the router. The device will then connect to the Wi-Fi network.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues while enabling WPS on your Huawei Wifi Router, here are some troubleshooting tips:

  • Check the Router's Firmware: Make sure your router's firmware is up to date. You can usually update the firmware through the router's web-based management interface.
  • Check the Device's Compatibility: Ensure that your device supports WPS. Some older devices may not support this feature.
  • Check the WPS Button: If you are using Push Button Configuration (PBC), make sure the WPS button on the router and the device is working properly.
  • Check the PIN Code: If you are using PIN Configuration, make sure you have entered the correct PIN code.

Comparing Huawei Wifi Router with Other Brands

While Huawei Wifi Routers offer excellent performance and features, it's always a good idea to compare them with other brands before making a purchase. Here is a brief comparison between Huawei Wifi Router and two other popular brands: Xiaomi Wifi Router and E Wifi Router.

  • Performance: Huawei Wifi Routers are known for their high-speed and stable performance. They support the latest Wi-Fi standards, such as 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6), which provides faster speeds and better coverage. Xiaomi Wifi Routers also offer good performance, but they may not be as powerful as Huawei routers in some cases. E Wifi Routers are generally more budget-friendly, but their performance may be limited compared to Huawei and Xiaomi routers.
  • Features: Huawei Wifi Routers come with a wide range of features, such as parental controls, guest networks, and smart home integration. Xiaomi Wifi Routers also offer similar features, but the implementation may vary. E Wifi Routers may have fewer features compared to Huawei and Xiaomi routers.
  • Security: Huawei Wifi Routers have strong security features, such as WPA3 encryption and built-in firewalls. Xiaomi Wifi Routers also offer good security, but Huawei routers are known for their advanced security technologies. E Wifi Routers may have basic security features, but they may not be as robust as Huawei and Xiaomi routers.

Conclusion

Enabling WPS on a Huawei Wifi Router is a simple and convenient way to connect devices to a Wi-Fi network. By following the steps outlined in this blog post, you should be able to enable WPS on your router and connect your devices without any hassle.
