Huawei Routers

Huawei Technologies is the largest telecommunications equipment manufacturer in the world. Huawei has about 45% of it's employees working in research and development. This has resulted in Huawei becoming one of the leading manufacturers of both wired and wireless routers. Huawei has a basic user interface but makes up for it in quality characteristics.

It is our understanding that the correct way to pronounce Huawei is "wah-way". If you think we are wrong please send us a message and let us know what you think the correct way to pronounce it is.

Open Port on Huawei Routers

A Huawei router is typically easy to setup, including the port forwarding section. Some Huawei routers only allow you to forward one port at a time, while others allow you to list the ports. It also needs to be noted that some of the Huawei routers call a port forward a server which can be confusing.

If you can't locate your exact router model in the list below, I recommend trying one of our Huawei B315s-22, Huawei EchoLife HG521, or Huawei EchoLife HG8247H guides. You should be able to use one of those to open ports on just about any recent Huawei router.

Your currently selected ports are for: Xbox Live.

  • If you want to select a different application, please see our List of Ports.

Use a VPN Instead

Have you considered using a VPN instead of forwarding a port? For most users, a VPN is a much simpler and more secure choice than forwarding a port.

NordVPN faster than ever deal!

We use and recommend NordVPN because not only is it the fastest VPN, it includes a new feature called Meshnet that makes forwarding a port no longer necessary for most applications. With NordVPN Meshnet, you can connect to your devices from anywhere in the world, completely secure, over a highly encrypted VPN tunnel.

Every time you click on one of our affiliate links, such as NordVPN, we get a little kickback for introducing you to the service. Think of us as your VPN wingman.
