With NordVPN Meshnet, you can connect to your devices from anywhere in the world, completely secure, over a highly encrypted VPN tunnel.
Once you've set up your NordVPN account on multiple computers and enabled Meshnet, you can seamlessly access all of your devices as if they were on the same network. You don't even have to log in to your router. It's very simple.
You might notice that most of our site doesn't have ads on it. This is because we use partnerships with companies like NordVPN to keep the site running. Thank you for supporting us by using our referral links.
You need to know your username and password to login to your Huawei E8372. Just in case the router's username and password have never been changed, you may want to try the factory defaults. Try all of the Huawei E8372 factory default usernames and passwords below.
If all else fails and you are unable to login to your router, then you may have to reset it to its factory default settings. Our How To Reset your Router guide can help you reset your router to factory defaults.
How to connect to a E8372 Huawei router?
- Connect your device to the router via Ethernet or Wi-Fi.
- Open a web browser and enter the default IP address for the router usually .
- Enter the default username and password, usually admin and admin.
Enter ping192.168.1.1in this interface and press Enter. If the return result is displayed as shown in the figure below, it means that it is in the same local area network, otherwise it is not in the same local area network. (How to make your device and router in the same LAN)
Mobile phones or other mobile devices only need to connect to the WIFI of your Huawei router through a wireless network card; below, we will focus on how to connect the computer to the same local area network as the router through the network cable:
2 Take WINDOWS 10 as an example, right-click "Network", select Properties, click "Change Adapter Settings", right-click "Ethernet", select Properties, left-click "Internet Protocol Version 4", select Obtain an IP address automatically.
The initial username and password of the router can be viewed on the nameplate at the bottom of the router. The nameplate has the router's default login address, default user name and default password; if you have modified the default password and lost it, you can only reset your router to To restore to factory settings, the reset steps are as follows:
Log in to the router's setting interface (how to log in to the router), enter the user name and password to enter the router interface (how to find the router's user name and password), find and open the WIFI settings (wireless Internet settings) menu, and then you can reset the wireless Internet password.
These modems operate in a mode where they use DHCP to give your computer (or your LiveU Solo) a private IP address, different from the public IP address the SIM and the carrier network will give it. In addition, the modem itself has a web user interface where you can change the modem's settings.
Insert the stick and if using Windows, run the installer that is presented from the modem itself. If you are on MacOS, you need an updated version of the installer contained on the Wingle, so instead download it from: and install it.
Once installed, the Wingle will show up to your laptop or computer as an ethernet port. By default, it uses the private network 192.168.8.x, where the Wingle itself is 192.168.8.1. However, if LiveU has already configured this device, that may be changed to 192.168.10.x.
Here you can see the current profile, or add a new one. To use a different APN, add a new profile, naming the profile as desired and then configuring the APN there. Leave the username and password blank, unless you are certain you need it for this SIM. Specifically, if your fixing a modem to work with AT&T instead of T-Mobile, set the APN to be "broadband":
If instead what you need to change or correct is the subnet used, go to the top menu Settings, then to WLAN and DHCP. Here you can change the subnet from 192.168.8.x to anything you want, changing the second octet (the ".8" part). For instance, on a factory reset modem you might need to change it back to 192.168.10.x instead of 192.168.8.x to avoid an IP conflict with your other modem:
But here is my problem. I can not login to the GUI Luci with the IP 192.168.1.1. Either with cable or Wifi.
Only when I remove the Huawei Stick, log in with LAN cable and reboot 1 or more times the Router. Than I can log to the Web interface only buy LAN but not with Wifi.
What did I wrong?
What are the correct settings in the Menu> Interfaces for log in with Wifi to the Router or if necessary with cable?
What happens to the Raspi device? Can I still hope that the device is connected to the Internet by the bridge?
After the change, the fixed IP is still available for the raspi as well as for the huawei stick?
If I understand correctly, is the change only necessary for logging into the router?, because I have an IP conflict.
You'll get disconnected. Do a dhcp renew on the PC to acquire the new IP. It should be 192.168.100.100 if the rest is left to defaults.
Now you can connect to the new IP .100.1 of OpenWrt from your PC. Do a browser restart if it doesn't work.
Again same mistake, you have an ip conflict because two different networks share the same subnet. I can also notice that almost everything is bridged, that huawei interface is considered part of the lan, and that there is a wwan interface without clear purpose.
I think it would be best to reset the router to defaults and try again from a clean configuration.
By default you'll have a lan interface, covering the lan ports of the router and the wifi (which is disabled by default, but you can enable it). Change the lan IP again to 192.168.100.1.
The wan interface will be covering the wan port, but you can repurpose it to be the interface for the dongle.
Don't change anything else in firewall or dhcp, it should be enough to work.
What did you mean with:
The wan interface will be covering the wan port, but you can repurpose it to be the interface for the dongle.
I have to install the usb driver an connect the dongle to the router. After that I install the eth1 interface, correct? or how can I connect to the internet?
Is there a way to give my raspi the IP 192.168.1.3 ?
When I look to my interfaces, I have a LAN Interface and a Interface for the huawei stick or not?
I do not need the bridge for raspi?
Thank you for help
After you install the usb module and enable it, go to the network configuration and either change the ifname of wan interface from eth0.2 to the physical interface the huawei has, or create a new interface for huawei and add it under wan zone in firewall.
I don't know how you will connect to the internet before you install the module. One solution is to connect the RPi on an existing connection. In that case if the existing network is 192.168.1.X, you can give .1.3, provided no other device is using it. But you'll need to switch off first the dhcp server of OpenWrt. (Network-Interfaces-Edit LAN-DHCP server-Ignore interface).
The wan "physical setting" is the dongle's "eth" or "usb" virtual port. This is the path to the Internet. Generally the dongle or the ISP will issue an IP address via DHCP, so use protocol DHCP on wan.
The Pi and other lan devices will be in the lan network bridge. You do not have to individually identify them in the router. If they hold an IP in the lan range and have a physical link to the lan bridge (ethernet or wifi), they are automatically participants in the lan network.
A) I can not update my openwrt router because no internet connection.
B) The internet connection with my laptop has no connection too, but I change the settings , then it function.
Is there a better solution?
In which settings (LAN or WAN) is a mistake?
Why can I not connect to the internet with the router and must set a manual IP addr.
Please run the following commands (copy-paste the whole block) and paste the output here, using the "Preformatted text " button:
Remember to redact passwords, MAC addresses and any public IP addresses you may have
Don't bridge the 4G dongle into LAN. When using Internet via 4G, it is your wan device. If the dongle DHCP issues IP addresses in the 192.168.1.0 range, you need to change the OpenWrt lan to a different range.
Don't have any "gateway" settings, it will be configured automatically to be the dongle when the dongle DHCP is complete. Or if you use house wifi for WAN the house router DHCP will advertise itself as the gateway, and OpenWrt will install that as long as you don't try to force it to something else.
In general here staying close to a default configuration is best. Less is really more. Don't just add stuff without understanding what it does. Don't make additional networks: you only need lan and wan for this situation. To meet this use case, you're going to change the wan physical device to be something other than Ethernet (either house wifi or 4G dongle)-- and watch out for IP conflict. Changing the lan to something really strange (maybe 192.168.85.1) and leaving it there would work.
jerryb: And, for those of you that enjoy conspiracy theories, I tried posting that message 4 times from my house (using the setup above). Failed every time.
But here I am sitting in a cafe, and it worked first time (same phone, over Spark's normal 4G network).
Where's my tin hat? :-)
