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.

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.
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.
