Three Router Login
Three provides mobile broadband services in the UK and Ireland using 4G/5G hubs (home broadband routers) and portable MiFi devices (often Huawei or ZTE). This guide helps you access their web admin interfaces.
How to Login to Three Router
Accessing your Three 4G/5G Hub or MiFi settings allows you to change WiFi details, view connected devices, check signal strength, and manage other options. This is done through a web interface.
First, ensure you are connected to the WiFi network broadcast by your Three device, or connected via an Ethernet cable if using a home hub. The default WiFi name and password should be on a sticker on the device.
Next, open a browser and navigate to the device's admin IP address. This varies by model, but common defaults used for devices supplied by Three are:
- 192.168.8.1 (Very common, especially for Huawei devices like the B535, AI Cube, or MiFi units)
- 192.168.1.1 (Used by some models)
- 192.168.0.1 (Used by some models)
Consult your device's label or manual for the definitive IP address.
At the login prompt, you'll need the administrator credentials. Often, a username is required (typically 'admin'). The password might be:
- admin (very common default)
- Blank (no password required initially)
- A unique password printed on the sticker on the device itself.
Always check the sticker first. Remember logins are case-sensitive.
- Connect your device (computer, phone) to the Three router's WiFi network or via Ethernet cable (if hub has ports).
- Open a web browser.
- Enter the router's admin IP address. Common IPs include:
- 'http://192.168.8.1' (Very common for Huawei-based hubs/MiFi)
- 'http://192.168.1.1'
- 'http://192.168.0.1'
- Check the device label or manual for the correct IP.
- The login page will appear.
- Enter the admin password (a username like 'admin' might also be required).
- The password is often 'admin', blank, or printed on a sticker on the device (check bottom, back, or under battery cover for MiFi).
- Click Login.

Troubleshooting Issues with Three Router
Can't log into your Three router/hub/MiFi? Try these solutions:
- Correct IP Address: Verify the IP. Try 192.168.8.1 first, then the others if it fails. Check the device label.
- Network Connection: Confirm you are connected to the Three device's WiFi or Ethernet network.
- Credentials Check: Double-check the username ('admin' usually) and password ('admin', blank, or from sticker). Case-sensitive.
- Browser Issues: Clear cache/cookies, try incognito mode, or a different browser.
- Device Reboot: Restart the Three device. Unplug power (or remove/reinsert battery for MiFi), wait a minute, power back on.
- Factory Reset: If you changed the password and forgot it, use the reset button (pinhole, often near SIM slot or under cover). Press and hold for 5-15 seconds while powered on. This restores factory defaults (IP, admin/sticker password, default WiFi settings).
Three Router setup
After logging into the Three router's web interface:
- Change Admin Password: CRUCIAL. Go to System Settings -> Modify Password (or similar) and change the default password ('admin', blank, or sticker password) to something secure.
- Change WiFi Settings: Navigate to WiFi Settings / WLAN. Change the Network Name (SSID). Set security to WPA2-PSK or WPA3 and create a strong WiFi Password (Key). Configure 2.4GHz/5GHz bands if available.
- Check Signal Strength/Connection Status: Look for sections showing LTE/5G signal strength (RSSI, RSRP, SINR) and connection status.
- Network Mode Selection: You might be able to choose preferred network modes (e.g., 5G preferred, 4G only) under Network Settings.
- View Connected Devices: Check the list of devices currently using your network.
- Check Data Usage: Monitor data consumption if the interface provides this feature.
- Save Settings: Apply or save any changes made.
