Have you been trying to login to the Huawei HG655b router and been unsuccessful? It might be time to consider a reset. This is not the same thing as a reboot. When you reboot you cycle the power to the unit. When you reset you take all the settings and return them all to factory defaults.

Warning: Resetting the Huawei HG655b router is a big step and should not be taken lightly. We strongly recommend creating a list of the settings that may be changed by this reset. Some of the settings that change are:

  • The router username and password.
  • The Internet name and password.
  • If this is a DSL router you need to re-enter the Internet Service Provider (ISP) username and password. Call your local ISP for the details.
  • Have you made any other changes to your router? If so you need to re-enter them as well after the reset.

Reset the Huawei HG655b

I have an image of the back panel of the Huawei HG655b router below. As you can see I have pointed out the reset button for you.

This is the reset page from your Huawei HG655b router.

While the router is on, take a straightened paperclip and press down on the reset button for about 10 seconds. If this isn't held down for the entire amount of time you end up only rebooting the router instead of resetting it like you wanted.

Remember a reset like this one is going to erase every single setting you have ever changed. We recommend trying other troubleshooting methods before you continue.

Login to the Huawei HG655b

You can now login to the Huawei HG655b router. You need to use the default values. We have these for you in our Huawei HG655b Login Guide.

Tip: Don't panic if the defaults didn't work. It is possible the reset button wasn't held down long enough.

Change Your Password

Next you need to create a new password for your router. This password is protecting your router settings. If you need help with this check out our Choosing a Strong Password guide.

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

Setup WiFi on the Huawei HG655b

After that you need to setup the WiFi settings. For a great guide on that topic check out our WiFi Instructions for the Huawei HG655b router.
