If your HG531 v1 router is not working as it should, dropping connections or not being responsive, you should first do a reset of the router to see if the problems persist. Other scenarios where you might want to reset your router is if you've forgotten the password or misconfigured it and can't get access anymore. 


Your can reset your Huawei HG531 v1 in the following way(s):

There are no specific instructions for this model yet, but you can always do the 30-30-30 reset as follows:

1. When router is powered on, press the reset button and hold for 30 seconds. (Use a paper clip or something sharp)
2. While holding the reset button pressed, unplug the power of the router and hold the reset button for 30 seconds
3. While still holding the reset button down, turn on the power to the unit again and hold for another 30 seconds.

This process usually works for resetting any router to it's factory setting.

If you have performed a reset of your HG531 v1 device or not changed the defaults, you should be able to access it with the following settings:

Default Network name (SSID): HUAWEI-XXXXXX

Default Gateway IP: 192.168.1.1

Default username: user

Default password: user  

Default subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 

Default DNS server: 192.168.1.1 

How to login to the HG531:

To login to the 300Mbps Wireless ADSL2+ Router and change the settings, you can follow these steps:

1. Make sure you are connected to the router's network, either by Wi-Fi or ethernet cable.
2. Open your browser and visit http://192.168.1.1
3. You should be prompted with a login dialogue.
4. Enter the username: user and the password user 
   Note: If you have already changed the password use that instead.
5. You will now be logged in. If you haven't yet changed the defaul password, we recommend that you change it first thing you do after logging in.

If these instructions don't work for your router, you can always try a factory reset to get the default, or try some other common Huawei credentials, as they can usually be shared across models/variants.
