Step 2: Connect to Wi-Fi: Connect your phone or computer to the default Wi-Fi network of the HUAWEI router (SSID starts with "HUAWEI").
Step 3: Configure Router: Open a web browser, enter the router's IP address (e.g., 192.168.3.1), and log in. Follow the on-screen instructions to set the Wi-Fi name, Wi-Fi password, and router login password.
