Set up your Huawei HG659 for WorldNet fibre using a web browser. Menu names may vary with the router’s firmware.
Step 1: Connect the router
1.1 Turn off the ONT
Turn off your Optical Network Terminal (ONT), also known as the fibre box.
1.2 Connect the ONT to your router
Connect an Ethernet cable from the active Ethernet port on your ONT specified by WorldNet to the WAN (Internet) port on your Huawei router. The ONT port number can vary; use the port specified for your connection.
1.3 Turn on the ONT
Switch on the ONT and wait about 2 minutes for it to restart.
1.4 Turn on the router
Connect the power adapter to the router and switch it on.
Step 2: Connect your device
Choose one of the following connection methods.
Option 1: Wired connection
Use another Ethernet cable to connect your computer to an available LAN port on the router. Your computer needs an Ethernet port or a suitable adapter.
Option 2: Wireless connection
Find the Wi-Fi name (SSID) and Wi-Fi password on the router label, then connect your device to that network. If these have been changed, use your current Wi-Fi details.
Note: Keep your device connected to the router by Ethernet or Wi-Fi throughout setup.
Step 3: Set up the router
WorldNet Internet Settings
Internet Connection Type
Dynamic IP / DHCP / Automatic IP / IPoE
VLAN
Disabled / Off
Choose the matching option shown by your router.
3.1 Open the setup page
Open a web browser and enter http://192.168.1.1 in the address bar. If you have a Spark HG659b, use http://192.168.1.254 instead. If the login page does not open, check the login address on your router label.
3.2 Log in to the router
Check the label underneath your router for the login username and password.
3.3 Open the fibre connection profile
Go to Internet > Internet Settings. Locate the Ethernet fibre profile containing ETH_VID, then select Edit.
Note: If the profile is missing or cannot be edited, contact WorldNet for help. Some provider-supplied firmware restricts these settings.
3.4 Configure the internet connection
Under Connection Settings, set:
Enable Connection: Ticked / On
Connection Type: IP routing (IP)
NAT Type: Full-cone NAT
Enable VLAN: Unticked / Off
Under IPv4 Information, set:
IP Protocol Version: IPv4
IPv4 Addressing Type: DHCP
Note: WorldNet does not use VLAN tagging for this setup. Leave Enable VLAN unticked; do not enter VLAN ID 10.
3.5 Save the settings
Select Save to apply the configuration. The router may restart. Wait a few minutes for it to reconnect, then reconnect your device to its Wi-Fi if necessary.
Step 4: Test your internet connection
Keep your device connected to the router by Ethernet or Wi-Fi, then open a website to check that the internet works.
Note: If you test on a phone, temporarily turn off mobile data so you can confirm the connection is coming through Wi-Fi rather than 4G/5G.
