How can I set up the Internet for my new HUAWEI router on my phone

You can use the AI Life app to complete initial configuration for your router.

1. Install the app: Use your phone to scan the QR code at the bottom of your router, to download and install the AI Life app.
2. Prepare for the configuration:

   a. Connect an Ethernet cable from the WAN port of your router to a LAN port on the Internet source (such as a broadband modem or fiber-optic modem).

   

   If the router features self-adaptive network ports, you do not need to distinguish the WAN port from the LAN port.

   b. Connect your router to a power source.

   c. Connect your phone to the router's default Wi-Fi network (check the nameplate at the bottom of the router for the default Wi-Fi name, which should begin with "HUAWEI" and the Wi-Fi network is password-free).

3. Configure your router
   1. Open the AI Life app, touch CONFIGURE and then NEXT (skip this step if you cannot find such an option). Then touch GET STARTED.

      

      

      If no notification prompt appears, touch the Add button in the upper right corner of the app's home screen.

   2. Choose Create a Wi-Fi network (skip this step if you cannot find such an option).
   3. Follow the wizard to complete the configuration.

      Your router will automatically detect the Internet access mode for your home network.

   4. Set your Wi-Fi name (SSID), Wi-Fi password, and Login password. Touch Advanced settings (or NEXT for some routers), and select the router configuration.

      

   5. Save the configuration. Then the configuration process is complete.
4. If your routers are HUAWEI WiFi Mesh series routers, please refer to How do I cascade the HUAWEI Router to HUAWEI WiFi Mesh+ routers to establish network connections between he main router and secondary routers.
5. Get your other devices online: To connect your wired devices (such as computers and TV set-top boxes) to the Internet, use an Ethernet cable to connect the devices to the LAN port on your router. For phones, tablets, and other wireless devices, connect them to your router's Wi-Fi network.
