How do I enable or disable the Firewall on my HUAWEI router

Your router has a firewall feature. A firewall is a security barrier between the Internet and your home network. When a firewall is enabled, all communication data between the Internet and your home network is scanned to protect your network security.

 

• If the uplink router is a HUAWEI router, the feature settings will be consistent with those on the uplink HUAWEI router. To change the settings, modify them on the uplink router.
• If the uplink router is not a HUAWEI router, refer to the following.
• For the HUAWEI WiFi Extender AX3000, this feature is only supported when the device is connected to the uplink device in wired mode.

1. Connect your computer/phone to the router's Wi-Fi, or connect the computer to the router's LAN port using an Ethernet cable. Enter the default IP address in your browser address bar and log in to your router's web-based management page (check the nameplate on the router for the default IP address).
    

   • For routers that feature self-adaptive ports, you do not need to distinguish between WAN and LAN ports.
   • For certain devices, please refer to How to view the IP address of HUAWEI WiFi Extender AX3000.
   • If you are connecting your phone to the router's Wi-Fi network, switch your phone's webpage to the PC-based UI before performing the following operations.
2. Go to More Functions > Security Settings > Firewall. The firewall is enabled by default, but you can toggle Firewall to turn it on or off according to your needs.
