Commissioning New Huawei E5330 Wireless Router

[telboy1938]

Just purchased a New Huawei E5330 wireless router complete with 3Gb sim card. I have followed supplied start-up procedure to the letter but unsuccessful. After charging battery fully I connect to laptop via cable provided / open google chrome and enter http://192.168.1.1 followed by Enter. My instructions are then to enter default User name and Password (which are admin)
Try as I may I cannot find any window to carry out the instruction. All help will be greatly received. I need this unit working as I am going away where no wifi is available. Thank you

Found this Telboy.
1. Connect the device to your laptop or computer via USB cable or Wi-Fi connection.
2. Launch a web browser and in the address bar, enter 192.168.1.1, then click the arrow icon or press Enter.
3. Click Settings.
4. Enter the required username and password, then click Log In.
Note: The default username and password is admin.
5. Click the Dial-up dropdown.
6. Click Mobile Connection.
7. Click the Auto Disconnect Interval(Min) dropdown.
8. Select the required maximum idle time (in seconds) before the network disconnects.
9. Click Apply.

Thanks Togo. I have followed both your suggested sites with the same result. Having entered http192.168.1.1. as suggested via my google chrome browser I do not get a facility for selecting “settings” Any further advice please?

PS....... I get a “time out” message

At a guess your laptop might still be connected to WiFi and will be attempting to connect via that which it can't do, try switching off WiFi and having another go

You should be able to fined a time out option in the set up procedure, if not in basic set up then in advanced. If it is set to 0 you need to set it to always on.

PS don't forget to "save" if you make any changes in the settings procedure.

This may be important too.

log back in to the router with 192.168.1.1 user name and password is admin(I know you are doing that)
click on "advanced"
Then when it goes there click on basic
Make sure wan is highlighted on the left
Click on connection trigger, and select always on.
Then click on apply

Togo, I don't think he's getting as far as the boxes to enter id & password "My instructions are then to enter default User name and Password (which are admin) Try as I may I cannot find any window to carry out the instruction."
