How to configure wired bridge for the HUAWEI routers

Case 1: The uplink device is a HarmonyOS Mesh+ router

Use a network cable to connect the LAN port of the uplink router to the WAN port of the router. The secondary router automatically syncs the wireless configuration of the uplink router and completes HarmonyOS Mesh+ networking.

 
  • If the router features self-adaptive network ports, you do not need to distinguish the WAN port from the LAN port.
  • Ensure that HarmonyOS Mesh+ is enabled on the uplink router. HarmonyOS Mesh+ is enabled by default on HarmonyOS Mesh+ routers.

Scenario 2: The uplink device is a non-HarmonyOS Mesh+ device

  1. Use a network cable to connect the LAN port of the uplink router to the WAN port of the HUAWEI router. Connect a PC to the LAN port of the HUAWEI router, or connect the PC/phone to the Wi-Fi of the HUAWEI router. (The Wi-Fi name is printed on the bottom of the router and no password is required).

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

  2. In the browser address bar, enter the default IP address and log in to the router's web-based management page(check the nameplate at the bottom of the router for the default IP address).Access the Connect to Internet page.

    If you're configuring the router for the first time, complete the Internet access wizard before accessing the Connect to Internet page. Set the Internet access mode to Bridge (AP) and click Save.

  3. Set the Internet access mode to Bridge (AP) and click Save

  4. After the settings are saved, you can modify parameters such as the Wi-Fi name and password on the My Wi-Fi page as required
     
    • After you click Save, it is advised that you restart the router to ensure that the settings take effect.
    • After the wired bridge mode is configured, the downlink device of the router obtains an IP address from the uplink router. As a result, the web-based management page of the router cannot be accessed directly. You will need to set the computer to use a static address (on the same network segment as the bridge router) and access the web-based management page.
