Huawei MT880 CPE and Huawei MT882 CPE are modems with DHCP function. So these modems have the benefits of routers. We do not need to purchase a router to share the Internet connection between computers if we have Huawei MT880 CPE or MT882 CPE modems. This tutorial explains the procedure to configure Huawei MT880 CPE & MT882 CPE modems without using setup disc. Before starting to set up Huawei CPE modems, make sure you have the username and password provided by your ISP. It is not the device log on details but the broadband connection username and password. If you don't have them right now, you must contact your ISP before proceeding to the next steps.
Since Huawei CPE modems have routing feature, you need to learn router cascading before connecting another router to the modem. To learn more about connecting an additional router to Huawei modem, visit the link below.

It can happen due to many factors:
ReplyDelete1. Router IP address might be different
2. Browser cache is full
3. Improper local host setting or malicious influence
4. Firewall blocking
Solution:
1. Make sure that router IP address is 192.168.1.1
ie. On command prompt type
ping 192.168.1.1 and make sure that you are getting valid replies.
2. Clear browser cache
3. Clear temporary internet files
4. Use a different browser
5. Disable the security suit installed on your computer and try again
I hope it will work.
First of all please make sure that the router IP address is 192.168.1.1 by referring the router manual. If you cannot make sure it please try the number below.

Or disconnect power cable from the router for 30 seconds and connect it back. When the LAN light is steady on the router try top access the web based setup page.
