Have you been trying to login to the Huawei HG630b Spark router and been unsuccessful? It might be time to consider a reset. A reset is not a reboot. A reboot is a cycle in the power to the unit. A reset is a complete factory restore of all settings.

Warning: Resetting this router is a big step and should not be taken lightly. We suggest creating a list of all the possible settings you may of changed in the past. For example:

  • The router's main username and password.
  • The Wireless name and password.
  • The Internet Service Provider (ISP) username and password if this is a DSL router. Call your ISP for these details.
  • Have you changed any other settings like port forwarding or IP addresses?

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 HG630b router.

While the router is on take a bent paperclip or similar object and press the reset button for at least 8 seconds. This begins the reset process. If you don't hold the reset button down for long enough you end up only rebooting the router instead of resetting it.

Remember this erases all the settings you have ever changed. We strongly recommend trying other methods of troubleshooting before you reset the router.

Login to the Huawei HG630b

After the reset is complete you need to login using the default values. These can easily be found in our Login Guide for the Huawei HG630b Spark router.

Tip: If the defaults didn't work don't panic. You might not of held the reset button down for long enough.

Change Your Password

Next you need to change the default router password. If you need help coming up with a new password check out our Choosing a Strong Password guide.

Tip: Do you need a way to keep from losing your new password. One way is to write it down on a piece of paper and attach it to the bottom of the router for future reference.
