In this guide we will be explaining how to open a port on the Huawei HG8245H router.

First, let's discuss the Huawei HG8245H firewall. This firewall is a pretty basic firewall designed to protect your home network from any unwanted access from the Internet. Sometimes it becomes necessary to unblock some of the blocked connections. When you unblock a connection to the Internet you are opening a port. This is frequently called a port forward because you are forwarding a port directly from the Internet to a specific device on your home network.

To open a port on the Huawei HG8245H router you need to:

  1. Setup a static IP address on the device or computer you are forwarding these ports to.
  2. Login to your Huawei HG8245H router.
  3. Find the port forwarding section.
    • Click the Forward Rules link.
    • Click on Port Mapping Configuration.
  4. Create a port forward entry.

You are definitely not alone if this sounds difficult. Don't worry, we will walk you through each step in the process.


We think that forwarding a port should be easy. That's why we created Network Utilities.Our software does everything that you need to forward a port.

When you use Network Utilities you get your port forwarded right now!

Step 1

It is important to setup a static ip address in the device that you are forwarding a port to. This ensures that your ports will remain open even after your device reboots.

  • Recommended - Our free program will setup a static IP address for you.
    • → Download Network Utilities today!
  • Or follow our Static IP Address guides to setup a static IP address.

After setting up a static ip address on your devices you need to login to your router.

Step 2

We can now login to the Huawei HG8245H router. The Huawei HG8245H router has a web interface, meaning you need to login using a web browser. The web browser you choose is not important. Some common web browsers include Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari, and Edge.

Go ahead and open up your web browser and find the address bar. It should look something like this:


Do you see the web browser at the top of the page? Simply erase what is in the address bar with the IP address of your Huawei HG8245H router. If you're having trouble finding the IP address remember that sometimes a router's IP Address is called the computer's default gateway.

The default IP Address of the Huawei HG8245H router is: 192.168.100.1

After you have entered the correct IP Address you can simply press the Enter key on your keyboard. If all goes according to plan you will see the following screen:

Do you see a screen prompting you for your Account and Password?

  • The Default Huawei HG8245H Router Username is: root
  • The Default Huawei HG8245H Router Password is: admin

Go ahead and enter the Account and Password. Then press the Login button to access the Huawei HG8245H router.

Having Trouble with the Huawei Username and Password

If the Account and/or Password did not work then we recommend trying some other Huawei usernames and passwords. Check out our list of them here on this Default Huawei Router Passwords page.

If you are still unable to login it may be that you have forgotten that you have changed the Huawei HG8245H username and password. If this is the case you may nee to reset the router. Learn more about this in the How to Reset a Router Password guide.

Step 3

It is now time to locate the port forwarding section of your router. To do that let us start on the first page of the router:

Select the option at the top of the page labeled Forward Rules.

After clicking the option of Port Mapping Configuration in the left sidebar you should arrive on the page you see above.

Use the WAN Name dropdown box to select an available connection.

Select the protocol type of the ports you are forwarding from the Protocol box.

If you are forwarding a range of ports, enter the lowest number of the range into the Start External Port, Start External Source Port and Start Internal Port boxes. Then enter the highest number of the range into the End External Port, End External Source Port and End Internal Port boxes. If you are forwarding a single port, enter that port number into the Start External Port, Start External Source Port, End External Port, End External Source Port, Start Internal Port and End Internal Port boxes.

Put a name for this forward in the Mapping Name box so that you can remember why you set this forward up. The name does not matter so pick something that has meaning to you.

Enter the IP address to forward these ports to into the Internal Host box. If you are forwarding ports so you can run a program on a device other than your computer then you can enter your device's IP address into that box.

When you are done click the Apply button.

Don't forget to click the Apply button after each entry.

Test if Your Ports are Open

Once you have finished forwarding the ports on the Huawei HG8245H router you should test them to be sure they forwarded correctly. In order to do this, we recommend using our Network Utilities tool. This includes a free Open Port Checker. This port checking tool is the only one online that has Guaranteed Results.
