If you are visiting this page you are probably thinking about resetting the Huawei E5577s router.

Before we begin I need to explain the difference between a reset and a reboot. When you reboot a router you are simply cycling the power to the unit. When you reset a router you are taking all the settings that have been changed in the past and returning them all to factory defaults.

Warning: A reset like this one is a big step. Things you may not of considered are:

  • The router's main username and password are erased and reverted back to factory defaults.
  • The wireless settings are also erased and returned to factory settings. This includes the encryption, SSID, and Internet password.
  • Is this a DSL router? If so you need to re-enter the Internet Service Provider (ISP) username and password. Call your local ISP for these details.
  • What other settings have you changed? Port forwards, IP addresses, DNS servers all need to be setup again after the reset is complete.

  • Step one: Be sure the router is on.
  • Step two: Take a straightened paperclip and press down on the reset button for a minimum of 10 seconds.

The reset should be complete now. If you didn't hold the button down for long enough there is a chance you only reboot the router instead of resetting it.

Don't forget that this reset is erasing everything you have ever changed on the router. Try other troubleshooting options before you decide to reset.

Login to the Huawei E5577s

Following that you'll need to log into your Huawei E5577s router. This is done by using the factory default username and password. Not sure where you can find these? We have them listed for your use in our Login Guide.

Tip: If the defaults aren't logging you in it might be because the reset button wasn't held down for long enough.

Change Your Password

Once you've successfully reset and logged into your router we suggest setting a new password for it. This can be whatever you like, however keep in mind that a strong password is 14-20 characters in length and includes no personal information. For more help be sure to check out our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.

Tip: Avoid losing your new password by writing it on sticky note and attaching it to the bottom of your router.
