Log in using the credentials on the router's nameplate (Default: Username admin, Password @HuaweiHgw). Locate Upgrade Menu: Navigate to the Advanced tab. Go to Maintenance > Software Upgrade. Upload & Verify:

Click Browse and select your verified firmware file (e.g., version V100R019C10 or higher).

Click Upgrade. The process takes approximately 5–10 minutes. Do not power off the device during this time. Method 2: Automatic Update via AI Life App

This method uses Huawei's cloud to verify and download the latest compatible firmware automatically. Connect your smartphone to the router's Wi-Fi. Open the Huawei AI Life App and select your DG8245V router. Go to Updates (or Devices > Updates). huawei dg8245v firmware update upd verified
