How to add HUAWEI routers (with H or Hi button) into the HUAWEI WiFi Q2 Pro network

Method 1: Using the HUAWEI AI Life app

Place the new router (new or factory reset) near the primary router (less than one meter away from your primary router is recommended) and connect its power supply. Open the HUAWEI AI Life app, which will automatically detect pairable devices nearby. Follow the onscreen prompts to pair your secondary router.

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

Method 2: Pairing through the H button

The following takes two HUAWEI WiFi Q2 Pro routers as an example.

1. Place the new router (new or factory reset) near the primary router (less than one meter away from your primary router is recommended) and connect its power supply.

   

2. Wait for approximately 1 minute until the primary router's indicator flashes, at which point the primary router has found the secondary router. Press the H button on the primary router, and the indicator will flash faster, indicating that the two routers are being paired. Once the indicator on the secondary router turns steady blue, the pairing is complete.

   

   After the pairing is successful, the Wi-Fi name and password of the secondary router will become the same as the primary router. You can place the secondary router accordingly to improve your Wi-Fi coverage. For the best results, it is recommended that there be no more than 2 walls in between your primary and secondary routers.

Method 3: Direct cable connection

Connect the LAN port on the primary router to the WAN port on the secondary router using an Ethernet cable. Once connected, the network will be automatically established without manual configurations (for example: the following illustration shows the connection between two HUAWEI WiFi Q2 Pro routers).

In wired networking mode, ensure that the primary router (HUAWEI WiFi Q2 Pro) is connected to an upstream network using an Ethernet cable, and that its indicator remains steady blue.
