If after several tries you are still unable to login to the Huawei B593v2 router you may need to consider a reset.

Be aware that when I use the term reset I do not mean a reboot. When you reboot a router you cycle the power to the unit. When you reset a router you take all the settings and return every single one of them back to how they were from the factory.

Warning: This reset erases every single setting you have ever changed on the Huawei B593v2 router. Some of the settings that will be affected are:

  • The router's main username and password.
  • The wireless information such as SSID and Internet password.
  • If this is a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP (Internet Service Provider) username and password. You need to call your local ISP for these details.
  • Have you forwarded any ports or changed any IP addresses? These are also erased.

Use a VPN Instead

Have you considered using a VPN instead of forwarding a port? For most users, a VPN is a much simpler and more secure choice than forwarding a port.

We use and recommend NordVPN because not only is it the fastest VPN, it includes a new feature called Meshnet that makes forwarding a port no longer necessary for most applications. With NordVPN Meshnet, you can connect to your devices from anywhere in the world, completely secure, over a highly encrypted VPN tunnel.

When shopping for a VPN, make sure that they meet the following criteria:

  • Your VPN provider should have a no-logs policy. This means that they do not keep any logs of any kind.
  • Make sure that your VPN provider has lots of exit nodes all around the world.
  • Check that your VPN will not affect your speed.
  • Verify that your VPN provider uses WireGuard as the underlying protocol.
  • Many people prefer a VPN provider that is not based in the United States.

This is the list of requirements that we used when we were shopping around for a VPN provider. There are lots of free, shady VPN providers out there that we looked at and dismissed.

Based in Panama, using diskless servers, and with over 6,100 servers in 61 countries, we can safely say that NordVPN satisfies all of these requirements.

NordVPN is the fastest VPN!

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.

Every time you click on one of our affiliate links, such as NordVPN, we get a little kickback for introducing you to the service. Think of us as your VPN wingman.

As you can see from the image below the reset button is on the side panel of the Huawei B593v2 router. Go ahead and locate it on the router you are resetting.

This is the reset page from your Huawei B593v2 router.

First, be sure the router is on. Then take a bent paperclip and press down on the reset button for at least 7 seconds. This begins the reset process which can take a couple of minutes to complete. If you don't hold the reset button down for long enough you will end up only rebooting the device instead of resetting it like you wanted.

Remember a reset like this erases every single setting you have ever changed in the history of the router. We strongly encourage you to try other troubleshooting methods before you decide to reset the Huawei B593v2 router.

Login to the Huawei B593v2

Once you've successfully reset the Huawei B593v2 router you should log into it. This is accomplished by using the factory default username and password. Don't know where you can find these? We have them listed for your use in our Login Guide.

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

Change Your Password

Following that you'll need to set a new password for your router. This can be anything you like, however bear in mind that a strong password is 14-20 characters in length and includes no personal information. For more help be sure to visit our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.

Tip: Prevent yourself from losing your new password by writing it on a sticky note and putting it on the underside of your router.

Setup WiFi on the Huawei B593v2
