The Huawei E6878 series of 5G mobile Wi-Fi routers (E6878-870, E6878-370, E6878-380, E6878-866) provide ultra-fast internet on the go, but like most devices, they are usually locked to a specific network provider.

Steps to Unlock Huawei E6878 Series Routers Using Version 5 Unlock Code:
Step 1: Access the Router’s Web Interface
- Power on your Huawei E6878 router.
- Connect your E6878 (laptop, smartphone, or tablet) to the router via Wi-Fi or USB cable.
- Open a web browser and enter the router’s default IP address (typically 192.168.8.1).
- Login to the web interface using the default credentials (usually admin for both username and password unless changed previously).
Step 2: Retrieve the IMEI Number
- Once logged into the router’s dashboard, locate the IMEI number (usually found under Device Information or System Settings).
- Write down or copy the IMEI number somewhere safe, as you’ll need it to purchase the unlock code.
Step 3: Purchase the Version 5 Unlock Code
- Go to Huawei V5 Unlock Code page.
- Enter your IMEI number and email address and proceed to make payment for the unlock service.
- Once the payment is completed, you will receive the 16-digit unlock code via email.
Step 4: Insert a SIM Card from Another Network
- Power off your router.
- Insert a SIM card from a different network provider.
- Restart the device.
Step 5: Enter the Unlock Code
- After the router reboots with the new SIM card, access the web interface again.
- A prompt will appear asking for the unlock code.
- Enter the 16-digit code you received from Tech Unlock Hub, then click Submit.
Step 6: Configure APN Settings (If required)
- If the router does not automatically connect to the new network, you may need to set up the APN (Access Point Name).
- Go to Settings > Network > APN and create a new profile using the APN details provided by your new network provider.
