The Huawei E5576 series of mobile routers is known for its compact design and reliability, but if you’re looking to use these devices with other networks, unlocking them is essential. These models require a Version 5 unlock code for unlocking, which can be more complex to generate compared to other versions.
Tested Models:
- Huawei E5576
- Huawei E5576-320
- Huawei E5576-322
- Huawei E5576-325
- Huawei E5576-508
- Huawei E5576-606
- Huawei E5576-855
- Huawei E5576-856
- Other models can also be unlocked.
These devices use a Version 5 code, which requires a 16-digit code or an alphanumeric code. This version is more secure and harder to generate, which is why it is often more expensive than earlier versions like Version 4 (which only requires an 8-digit code).
How to Unlock the Huawei E5576 Series:
1. Access the Web UI
- Power on your Huawei E5576 router and connect it to your PC or smartphone using Wi-Fi or USB cable.
- Open a web browser and enter the default IP address (usually 192.168.8.1) to access the router’s web interface.
2. Get the IMEI Number
- Log into the router’s dashboard with the default username and password (often both are admin unless you’ve changed it).
- Locate the IMEI number from the dashboard, typically found under Device Information or Settings. Write it down or copy it somewhere safe.
3. Purchase the Unlock Code
- Visit Huawei V5 Unlock Code page to purchase your unlock code.
- Enter your IMEI number, email address, and complete the payment.
- Wait for the 16-digit Version 5 unlock code to be sent to your email.
4. Insert a New SIM Card
- Insert a SIM card from a different network provider into your router.
- Restart the router.
5. Input the Unlock Code
- After restarting, the router’s dashboard will prompt you to enter the unlock code.
- Input the 16-digit code received from us and click “Submit.”
6. Create APN (if needed)
- After successfully unlocking the router, you may need to set up the APN settings for your new network provider. Go to Settings > Network Settings > APN and create a new profile with the correct settings for your network.
