SOURCE: I can not remember my

in the back of the router there will be a small button ressed sligtly, it will be labeled 'reset'. make sure the device has power (i.e. has lights in the front). press the reset button. you may need to use a paperclip if your finger isn't small enough.

if you wish to set up a new password do the following:
open up a browser like Firefox.
in the adress bar (where you type the names of websites) write the following in 192.168.1.1
it will ask for a password, both the user-name and the password will be 'admin'. type those in and hit enter
you will see the router control panel.
go to the tab labled 'wireless'
then go to the sub-tab 'wireless security'
where it says 'disabled' change it to WEP, or WPA pre-shared key (WEP is more compatible to more devices, but standard computers will have no trouble connecting to WPA which is more secure)
where it says 'passphrase' type your new password
hit 'generate' then 'save settings'

to change the password to the router (the password needed to get into the control panal and change settings) do this:

go to the tab labeled 'administration'
then were it says 'router password' type your new password
type it in the next box again to confirm
hit 'save settings'

good luck

Huawei E8231s-1 Password Doesn't Work

Forgot Password to Huawei E8231s-1 Router

How to Reset the Huawei E8231s-1 Router To Default Settings

Incase if you have changed the default username and password of Huawei E8231s-1 and forgot it, It's more like magic, I'd say! Press the reset button with a pin or something that gets through the tiny hole, and hold it for about 15 seconds! (till you see all lights flickering) Your Huawei E8231s-1 router shall be reset in no time, and you can start from step 1 in this guide to set it back up How to boost Huawei E8231s-1 Wifi and overcome connectivity issues:


1.Place the Huawei E8231s-1 in a perfect spot

The perfect spot does it all; be it romance or your router! To avail the best signal and network connectivity, make sure you keep your Huawei E8231s-1 router visibly and not facing the wall or behind the curtains

2.Find a Good Wireless Channel Instead of Auto on your Huawei E8231s-1 router

Auto channels might fail you once in a while; believe that you're smarter than the Huawei router! Find a seamless wireless channel instead of what the router finds automatically. This would ensure that your signal does not interfere with that of your neighbors.
If you're running a Windows-based PC, you can see what channels neighboring Wi-Fi networks are using.
-Press Start > type "cmd". Open Command prompt
-In command prompt type netsh wlan show all
You will see a list of all wireless networks and the channels being used in your vicinity. instead of using "Auto" for the control channel, Pick the channel that has the lowest interference

3.Check the frequency of Huawei E8231s-1

Check If Huawei E8231s-1 has dual-band, the more commonly used band would be 2.4GHz; however, switching to 5GHz would bring out better results! It depends on your device though; if you're running an old lad, you might have to switch back to the conventional.

4.Hardwire gaming consoles / media streamers into your Huawei E8231s-1 instead of wifi

Gaming consoles/media streamers work better when connected through Ethernet cable of Huawei E8231s-1; in fact, as you might not be moving your TV all over the house, why connect it to the Wi-Fi at all? The gaming consoles / video streaming devices flood the network with data. This means that if possible, you should consider hardwire (using Ethernet cable) the devices that tend to consume a lot of bandwidth. Although this can sort of defeat the purpose of having wireless network, but it can actually help your overall network speed of Huawei E8231s-1 if you can hardwire the bandwidth hogs.

5. Reboot Huawei E8231s-1 on a schedule

Here is something important to note! On schedule, folks, reboot your Huawei E8231s-1 router! Though routers are built to constantly be running at all times, simple tweak like regular power cycling (a fancy way of saying unplugging the power cord and shoving it back up) helps with most issues. Rebooting your Huawei E8231s-1 can fix Internet connection problems, improve slow moving connections and resolve wireless issues altogether. Try unplugging your Huawei modem on a quarterly basis to stay proactive (Never reset, always reboot modem)

I cannot get the roku to connect to my wifi i cannot remember original password so i am trying to use the guest it keeps giving me a code 011 help

You will have to either remember your password, or reset your wifi back to factory settings and set up a new password. In order to clear the "code 011" error, you will have to hold the reset button down on the Roku for at least 30 seconds to do a factory reset. But, don't do this until you get your wifi password issue squared away first.

I hope that helps.

Screen is locked on my huawei and don't rememeber password

Only you an know what the password can be. Write down all passwords you used lately and you still can remember. Then try them and tag them if used. If you can't open it that way, perhaps you could do a complete reset and reinstall everything. After a reset to factory settings, you will lose all apps and all data, but you will be able to use the phone again.
