2 Functions and Features
2.1 Automatically identifying Internet access mode
The router can automatically identify your Internet access mode (PPPoE/DHCP). No manual
operation is required.
NOTE
PPPoE, DHCP, static IP, and bridge are the most commonly used Internet access modes and are all
supported by HUAWEI WiFi Mesh 3.
2.2 Multi-router network distribution
Supports automatic networking and plug-and-play. (for products in the package)
Supports network expansion by connecting multiple HarmonyOS Mesh+ routers using
the H button. (applicable to products outside the package)
Supports network expansion by connecting multiple HarmonyOS Mesh+ routers using
Ethernet cables.
Supports the auto-sync of your router's Wi-Fi configurations: If the Wi-Fi name,
password, or router management password is changed on your primary router, the
configuration will automatically sync to the other HarmonyOS Mesh+ routers.
If there are multiple routers in your home, your Wi-Fi device will be automatically
switched to a better-performing router.
2.3 Connecting to your old router (through wired bridge or
wireless repeater mode) to form a network
You can use an Ethernet cable to cascade HUAWEI WiFi Mesh 3 to an old router and
form a network. In this case, HUAWEI WiFi Mesh 3 works as the secondary router.
HUAWEI WiFi Mesh 3 can also connect to your old router's Wi-Fi as a wireless repeater.
When it functions as a wireless repeater, it has the same Wi-Fi name and password as
your old router. There will be only one Wi-Fi network in your home.

Applicable only to HUAWEI WiFi Mesh 3 (1- pack).
If you have two HUAWEI routers that support HarmonyOS Mesh+, using HarmonyOS Mesh+ to
connect the two routers will be more convenient.
2.4 Ensuring privacy with multiple security mechanisms
HUAWEI WiFi Mesh 3 controls Wi-Fi access and disconnects unwanted devices to
prevent unauthorized access.
It supports guest Wi-Fi. You can set up a dedicated Wi-Fi network for your guests.
Guests have access to the guest Wi-Fi but cannot manage the router or access other
devices on the home network. This allows you to protect the security and privacy of your
home network.
You can hide your Wi-Fi name to improve network security. If a Wi-Fi name is hidden,
wireless devices (like PCs and mobile phones) cannot search for the Wi-Fi name. To
connect a wireless device to a hidden Wi-Fi network, you must enter the correct Wi-Fi
name.
The built-in firewall can protect you from DoS/ARP attacks by scanning all data
communication between the Internet and your home network.
It supports DMZ feature that allows you to expose the DMZ host to the Internet, while
other devices are protected by the firewall. For example, when setting up a server, you
can set the computer connected to the external network as the DMZ host to allow it to
provide Internet services while ensuring the security of other devices on your home
network.
2.5 Power-saving features
The router supports three different power modes: High, Mid, and Low to cater to your
different needs at different time of the day and in different environments.
Wi-Fi timer allows you to disable Wi-Fi during specific time periods (such as after
midnight or when you're at work) in order to reduce power consumption.
2.6 Parental control
The parental control feature allows you to set Internet access time limits and restrict access to
certain websites to keep your family members (especially minors) protected.
2.7 Router management
You can access your router's web-based management page from your computer, mobile phone
or tablet.Alternatively, you can download and install HUAWEIAI Life app on your mobile
phone or tablet for faster configuration.

2.10 Other supported features
NAT and NAPT (RFC 1631, RFC 2663, RFC 2766, and RFC 3022)
Supports access to the IPv6 network.
DHCP server and clients
DNS proxy
Proxy for DNS queries from its connected devices to speed up DNS responses.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
