192.168.8.1: travel routers and 4G modems
192.168.8.1 is a private address that you will rarely find on a regular home router. It belongs to two other kinds of devices: portable and travel routers, and mobile broadband gear that takes a SIM card.
- GL.iNet travel routers use it by default. There is no factory password: you set the admin password on the first visit. The admin panel can also be opened at
http://console.gl-inet.comwhile you are connected to the router. - Huawei 4G/LTE devices, such as pocket Wi-Fi hotspots, home LTE routers and USB modems working in HiLink mode, open their web page at 192.168.8.1. Older units use
admin/admin; newer ones print the password on a label under the battery cover or on the bottom.
A USB modem as a network adapter
A HiLink USB modem behaves like a small router plugged into the USB port. Your computer gets an address such as 192.168.8.100 from the modem, and the modem’s page is at 192.168.8.1. If the page does not open, unplug the modem, wait ten seconds and plug it back in, so that the computer requests a new address.
Problems typical for 192.168.8.1
- Data use or SMS pages are empty. Many Huawei pages work only after login; sign in first, then open Statistics or SMS.
- The travel router is connected to hotel Wi-Fi with the same subnet. If the upstream network also uses 192.168.8.x, GL.iNet routers warn about a conflict and offer to change their own address. Accept, then reconnect.
- Wrong network. When your phone also shares its connection, laptops sometimes join the phone hotspot instead of the modem. Check the default gateway: it must be 192.168.8.1.
192.168.8.1: frequently asked questions
