On this page I will be showing you how to reset the Huawei HG630 router. This is not the same thing as a reboot. If you reboot the Huawei HG630 router it simply cycles the power to the unit. If you reset the Huawei HG630 router you take all the settings and return them all to factory defaults.

Warning: Resetting the Huawei HG630 is a big step and caution needs to be used. Make sure you know what settings are erased. Some of the settings that will need to be changed are:

  • The router's main username and password.
  • The Internet name and password.
  • If this is a DSL router you must re-enter the Internet Service Provider (ISP) username and password.
  • Have you made any other changes to this router? How about port forwards or IP addresses? These need to be reconfigured after the reset is finished.

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.

This is the reset page from your Huawei HG630 router.

While the router is on, take a straightened paperclip and press down on the button for about 10 seconds. This is important because if you don't you end up rebooting the router instead of resetting it like you wanted.

Please remember a reset is erasing every single setting you have ever changed in the lifetime of the device. We strongly recommend trying other troubleshooting techniques before you continue with the reset.

Login to the Huawei HG630

You now need to login to the Huawei HG630 router using the factory defaults. These are found in our Huawei HG630 Login Guide.

Tip: If the defaults didn't work try resetting it again but hold the reset button down for an additional few seconds.

Change Your Password

You now need to change the default password you just used to access the router. Use our Choosing a Strong Password guide to help you.

Tip: One way to avoid losing this password is to write it down on a piece of paper and attach it to the bottom of the router for future reference.

Setup WiFi on the Huawei HG630

Next it's important to setup the WiFi as soon as possible. Check out our Huawei HG630 WiFi Instructions for an easy to follow guide.
