Huawei is a popular Chinese manufacturer known for many high-quality, functional, and most importantly, budget devices. The company's routers are very popular because they have a stylish appearance and are endowed with excellent technical characteristics. Below we will look at how the Huawei router is configured for the Rostelecom provider.
Rostelecom is a well-known provider in Russia. It is no exaggeration to call it a monopoly, since almost any house in the Russian Federation can connect to the Internet from Rostelecom, which cannot be said about other providers. Let's assume that you already have Rostelecom connected and you have purchased a brand new Huawei router. The only thing left to do is to set it up correctly.
Step 1: completing the router connection
Before you can proceed with configuring your router, you need to properly connect it. To get started, you will need to provide power to your router by connecting it to your network using the supplied power adapter.
The next step is to connect the cables. One wire is an Internet cable led to your apartment by a provider. In the event that you have fiber optic, connect it to a special socket designed for this type of cable. If not, plug the cable into one of the free LAN ports. The second wire is the cable supplied with the router. One end of it must be inserted into any of the free LAN connectors, and the other, respectively, must be connected to a computer or laptop, from which the router will be configured.
Step 2: Perform router setup
Actually, this is where the router setup is almost complete. There remains a small third stage.
Step 3: Perform Computer Setup
At this point, the configuration of the Huawei router can be considered complete. We draw your attention to the fact that if you have any problems with entering the settings, we recommend that you do not postpone the call to the provider, who will try to make every effort to establish an Internet connection as soon as possible.
Currently, there are several ways to go online. You can connect to the network using a USB modem, a satellite dish and an optical cable. Connecting with a cable and router has its advantages. This is a stable signal reception, high data transfer rate and reasonable price. A router is the choice of those who value the reliability of their data transmission. How to set up a router will be discussed in the material.
Router Huawei HG8245 is a modern means for high-speed Internet. Home or office multimedia gadgets that use internet access can be connected through this router. One Huawei HG8245 router can connect multiple devices. This is a stationary computer, laptop, tablet, as well as a cell phone. In addition, by connecting to the IPTV service, you can watch your favorite TV programs in high definition using this router.

After completing the data entry, you must go to the system settings menu ("System tools") and save the configuration for digital television by pressing the "Save configuration" button.
Reset
Sometimes it becomes necessary to reset the router settings to factory settings. This is due to insurmountable errors in the operation of the router, not related to the technical component. In some cases, the need to reset the settings arises if the user has forgotten the password of the router, and there is no way to recover it.
To reset the settings and personal passwords, the HG8245 router has a "Reset" button.
To reset installed configurations, you should:
- press the "Reset" button when the router is on;
- hold for a few seconds and release.
After that, you can disconnect the optical cable and configure the huawei hg8245 router again.
Changing the factory password
Many people know how important it is to set a strong password for a wireless connection, but recently, the security of a router password has also become important. Knowing his password, attackers are more likely to monitor the user's network activity, steal confidential data, and even block access to the Internet. Therefore, it is recommended to change the factory default password.
This requires:
- when the router is turned on, go to the terminal page - http://192.168.100.1, specifying the data set by default: login - root, password - admin;
- then you should go to the tab "Security" (Security);
- when changing the password, you will need to specify the old username and password, and then - the new password and its confirmation. To improve security, it is better to use long and complex passwords - from 10 characters - Latin letters and numbers.
Firmware upgrade
In modern routers, as a rule, universal and flexible program codes are used that allow you to make changes to the network configuration, easily change passwords. However, not all firmwares are the same, the router may start to work intermittently, and access to the Internet may be lost. In this case, updating the firmware will help.
For this you need:
After the update is complete, the router should reboot. After updating the firmware, the router settings will be reset to the factory settings, therefore, in order to access the Internet, you need to configure the router.
Modern manufacturers of routers are trying to make it possible for everyone, even a novice computer user, to configure and use it. To do this, the sites post clear and understandable instructions to the user, and the device's quick start system helps to prepare the router for work. The main thing is that the more competently the router is configured, the less disruptions in the Internet.
The functionality of the HG8245 router is the ability to connect the Internet in the room via a fiber-optic line. This router has four LAN ports for the necessary devices, a Wi-Fi module, an optical WAN port, two ADSL connectors for an IP phone and an interactive TV. This article contains a detailed description of the connection process, as well as the necessary settings for the Huawei HG8245 router.
Connecting the HG8245 router
The first step, of course, is to connect the router to the provider's network and to your computer. Despite the fact that this router works with optical GPON lines, after the appropriate configuration of the router, you will be able to connect the Internet to Rostelecom via an Ethernet cable using a LAN port. The ISP cable must be connected to the leftmost port called Optical, located on the back of the router.
The computer must be connected to any of the four LAN1-LAN4 connectors using the patch cord that you will find in the package with the Huawei HG8245. In case you use Smart TV or IP-telephony, these devices must be connected to the TEL1 and TEL2 ports.
After performing the described manipulations, you can turn on the router and go to the settings of its parameters, which are necessary for the correct operation of the Internet from Rostelecom.
HG8245 router settings menu
To further configure the GPON router, you need to connect to a special web interface from any computer connected to the network. To make this connection, you need to know the address of the router, which is indicated on the bottom cover of the device. If the address is not specified or has been erased, there is another way to find it out:
- Click on the network icon in the Windows pane.
- Using a hyperlink, open the "Control Center ..."
- Click on the active local connection in the "View active" section.
- A window will open in which you must select the "Information" section.
The address of the router we need is in the "Gateway" parameter. It is enough just to copy the value of this parameter. Now that you know the address of the device, you can log in to further configure the router. To do this, you need to open a browser on your computer, paste the previously copied value into the address bar and press the Enter key.
To enter the system, you must enter your login and access code (password). These data are usually indicated again on the bottom cover of the router. But for routers purchased directly from Rostelecom, the basic settings can be changed. In this case, the combinations "telecomadmin" and "admintelecom", "root" and "admin" may work. If this login and password does not work, then it will be necessary to contact Rostelecom technical support with this problem.
Setting up an internet connection
If the authorization is successful, the main page of the Huawei HG 8245 web interface will open on the screen. At the top of the page there is a menu with which you need to go to the "WAN" section. Check the box next to the first line "Enable WAN".
- Then select the "Rout" item in the "Mode" column.
- In the "Service List" parameter, select "Internet".
- Next, select the protocol for obtaining an IP address - PPPoE.
- As a rule, when concluding a contract, the subscriber is given a memo in which the username and access code from the PPP network connection are recorded. These data must be entered in the "UserName" and "Pasword" lines. If, for some reason, you do not have this data, contact technical support for help.
- If your connection was via Ethernet, and not via an optical line, then you need to mark the LAN port to which you connected the Rostelecom cable.
- Click the "Apply" button.
To create an access point, you will need to do the following:
- In the top menu, select the "WLAN" tab.
- Check the "Enable WLAN" checkbox.
- Click the "New" button.
- Come up with a name for the wireless network you are creating, and write it in the "SSID" line.
- Check the "Enable SSID" checkbox.
- Then check the boxes next to the "Broadcast" and "WWM" options.
- Select "WPA2" for "Authentication mode".
- Then, you need to select the combined type of password encryption "TKIPAES".
- Come up with and enter in the "Pre-shared key" a security code to connect to your network.
- Finally, click on the "Apply" button.
After making changes to the parameters of the router, it must be rebooted. To do this, click on the "System tools" tab and open the "Reboot" section, click the "Reboot" button.
To make sure that the settings are correct, you need to check the connection speed.

The Huawei company is known in Russia, first of all, because of quite good smartphones on Android OS (Huawei Honor) and mobile 3G-modems of the E-series, which are actively purchased by our cellular operators. In the field of fixed communication services, an optical terminal for building an FTTH network is widely used - Hg8245. Unfortunately, even in the active communities of Huawei users (vk.com/huaweidevicerus and vk.com/huaweiservice) there is no information on these devices, and questions in groups remain unanswered. We'll have to figure out the intricacies of network terminals ourselves.
Huawei does not release third-party firmware (which is logical). Adaptation of drivers for other devices takes place on their part (in agreement with Huawei), and the manufacturers of the rest of the hardware are in no hurry to befriend the products of this company. Therefore, the support of such a device as an optical terminal is akin in complexity to such a procedure as maintenance of a chiller - a complex industrial technique that requires systematic maintenance. If we continue the analogy with refrigeration equipment, it becomes clear that Huawei is the supplier of the "refrigerator", but Rostelecom decides what to store in its "freezer". Now let's try to answer the most frequently asked question on the network - "What is the password for Huawei 8245?"
« The standard password (which is set by default) for hg8240 / 8245 devices is root / admin or rootadmin / adminroot. »
On huawei hg8245, the admin password is closed from ordinary users. For each terminal, it is generated randomly at the head office of Rostelecom, so the widespread passwords on the network like admintelecom / telecomadmin are no longer suitable. You will not be given permission to issue an administrator account for your terminal. Even for large industrial VIP clients it is not easy to get it. We remind you that resetting the terminal is strongly discouraged - leave yourself without the Internet and digital television. Resetting the settings will not help you log in under the "administrator" account. It is also not possible to change the firmware.
« What if you need multiple LAN ports for the Internet? How to unblock them? »
Alas, also in no way. The only option in which the scheme is workable is “Huawei hg8245 over LAN1 + router”, i.e. you can't do without a third-party device:
In the diagram, the terminal plays the role of a "relay", as it were, a bridge, but a router will already be the gateway and all settings related to the Wi-Fi connection must be configured there, and not on the optical terminal. The connection is made via LAN1 to the WAN port of the router. Accordingly, all LAN ports of the router itself will be "free" and you can connect up to 4 PCs or a printer.
