Have you tried to login to the Huawei HG8245T router unsuccessfully? It might be time to consider a reset. A reset like the one I will be describing here is not the same this as 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 them all to factory defaults.
Warning: This reset is a big step and should not be taken lightly. We strongly recommend trying other troubleshooting methods before you continue. Some of the settings that will be changed are:
The router's main username and password
If this is a DSL router you need to re-enter the Internet Service Provider (ISP) username and password. This information can be gathered by calling your ISP.
The wireless information such as SSID and Internet password.
If you have changed any other settings such as port forwards or IP addresses write them down as they are erased as well.

Reset the Huawei HG8245T
Below is an image of the Huawei HG8245T side panel. I have circled the reset button for you in red. This reset button is quite small and is more of a pinhole than a reset button. This is done purposely to avoid accidental resets.
First, be sure the Huawei HG8245T router is on while you reset the unit.
Second, take a straightened paperclip or pin and press down on the reset button for a minimum of 10 seconds. If you don't hold the reset button down for the entire length of time you might end up only rebooting the router instead of resetting it like you intended.
Don't forget a reset like this one is going to erase every single setting you have ever changed in the past. We strongly urge you to try other troubleshooting methods before you continue.
Login to the Huawei HG8245T
Once you've reset the Huawei HG8245T router you'll want to log into it. 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 working for you it might be because the reset button wasn't held down for long enough.
Change Your Password
After you've successfully reset and logged into your router we recommend setting a new password for it. This can be anything 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 take a look through our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.
Tip: Keep yourself from losing your new password by writing it on a sticky note and attaching it to the bottom of your router.
Setup WiFi on the Huawei HG8245T
You should now begin the reconfiguration process of the Huawei HG8245T router. This needs to include the wireless settings. For a great guide on the topic check out our Huawei HG8245T WiFi Instructions.
