192.168.33.1 Admin Login

192.168.33.1 is a private IPv4 address used as the default gateway IP primarily by Huawei networking devices and Shelly smart IoT devices. Specific Huawei models confirmed to use this address include the Huawei PT530 Powerline Access Point, the Huawei WS323 Wireless Range Extender, and the Huawei WS322 Wireless Range Extender. Shelly uses 192.168.33.1 as the universal access point IP across its entire range of smart home devices, including the Shelly 1, Shelly EM, Shelly Plug, and others. When you connect directly to a Shelly device's own Wi-Fi hotspot, you can reach its web interface at this address. As a Class C private IP address, 192.168.33.1 belongs to the 192.168.0.0/16 reserved block defined by RFC 1918, meaning it is never routed on the public internet. Other widely used default gateways in the same private range include 192.168.1.254 and 192.168.0.1.

How to Access 192.168.33.1

To reach the admin panel at 192.168.33.1, open any modern web browser — Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari — and type http://192.168.33.1 directly into the address bar. Do not type it into a search engine, as that will return search results rather than your device's login page. Press Enter and you should be presented with a login prompt.

Before you attempt to access 192.168.33.1, make sure you are connected to the correct network:

• If you are configuring a Huawei PT530, WS322, or WS323, connect your computer to the device either via an Ethernet cable or over its Wi-Fi network.
• If you are configuring a Shelly smart device, you must first connect your phone or computer to the Shelly device's own Wi-Fi access point (its SSID typically appears as shelly-[model]-[ID]). Only then will 192.168.33.1 resolve to the Shelly web interface.

Once the login page loads, enter the default credentials. For most Huawei devices using this IP, the default username is admin and the default password is either admin or left blank. For Shelly devices, no username or password is required by default — the web interface opens directly unless you have previously set up authentication. After logging in, you can manage Wi-Fi settings, change your SSID and password, configure device behavior, update firmware, and review connected device statistics.

If You Can't Access 192.168.33.1

If typing http://192.168.33.1 into your browser does not load a login page, work through the following checks before assuming the address is wrong:

• Verify your connection: You must be connected to the device that uses 192.168.33.1 as its gateway. If you are on a different Wi-Fi network or connected to a different router, this address will not respond. For Shelly devices, confirm you have joined the Shelly hotspot, not your home router's network.
• Check your actual gateway: On Windows, open Command Prompt (Start > type cmd > Enter) and run ipconfig /all. Look for the Default Gateway field. On macOS or Linux, run netstat -nr | grep default in Terminal. If the gateway shown is not 192.168.33.1, this IP is not your device's address.
• Disable VPN or proxy: Active VPN connections or browser proxy settings can prevent your browser from reaching local private addresses like 192.168.33.1. Temporarily disable them and try again.
• Try a different browser or incognito mode: Browser extensions, cached DNS entries, or HTTPS-only settings can block access. Open a private/incognito window and navigate to http://192.168.33.1 again.
• Check for IP conflicts: If another device on your network has been manually assigned 192.168.33.1, a conflict will prevent the router or Shelly device from responding. Review your DHCP assignments in your main router's admin panel.

If none of the above resolves the issue, consult our guide to find your router IP address for a full walkthrough.

Default Username and Password for 192.168.33.1

The table below lists the known default credentials for devices that use 192.168.33.1 as their default IP address. Always change these defaults after your first login to protect your network.

If the credentials above do not work, the password has likely been changed from the factory default. In that case, you will need to perform a factory reset on your device to restore the original login details. See the reset instructions in the section below.

How to Reset Devices Using 192.168.33.1

If you have forgotten the admin password for your device at 192.168.33.1, a factory reset is the only way to regain access. The procedure differs depending on whether you have a Huawei networking device or a Shelly smart device.

Huawei PT530 Factory Reset

1. Locate the Reset button on the rear panel of the PT530. It is a small recessed button that requires a pin, toothpick, or paperclip to press.
2. Unplug the power cord from the PT530.
3. Press and hold the Reset button, then plug the power cord back in while continuing to hold the button.
4. Keep holding the Reset button for approximately 10–15 seconds until the indicator lights flash or change pattern, signalling the reset is complete.
5. Release the button and wait for the device to reboot. It will return to factory defaults, and you can log in at http://192.168.33.1 with username admin and a blank password.

Huawei WS322 / WS323 Factory Reset

1. Ensure the device is powered on.
2. Find the Reset button on the back or bottom of the extender.
3. Press and hold the Reset button for 10 seconds using a pin or paperclip until the LED indicator blinks rapidly.
4. Release the button and allow the device to reboot fully (approximately 60 seconds).
5. Once rebooted, navigate to http://192.168.33.1 and log in with username admin and password admin.

Shelly Device Factory Reset

Shelly Gen 1 devices do not have a dedicated reset button. Instead, you reset them using rapid power cycles:

1. Power the Shelly device on and off five times in quick succession (each cycle should be about 1 second on, 1 second off).
2. After the fifth cycle, the device's LED will flash three times, confirming the factory reset has been triggered.
3. The Shelly device will reboot and broadcast its own Wi-Fi hotspot again (e.g., shelly-[model]-[ID]).
4. Connect your phone or computer to that hotspot, then open http://192.168.33.1 in your browser. No username or password will be required.

Important: A factory reset erases all custom settings, including Wi-Fi credentials, schedules, and any authentication you had configured. Make sure to note down your settings before resetting if possible.

Changing Your Password on Devices at 192.168.33.1

Leaving your device at its factory default credentials is a significant security risk. Anyone connected to the same network — or to the Shelly hotspot — could access your admin panel and alter your settings. Here is how to change the admin password for each device type that uses 192.168.33.1:

Huawei WS322 / WS323 / PT530

1. Log in to http://192.168.33.1 using the default credentials.
2. Navigate to the System or Administration section in the menu.
3. Look for Change Password or Account Management.
4. Enter your current password, then type your new password twice to confirm.
5. Click Save or Apply. The router will prompt you to log in again with the new password.

Shelly Devices

1. Connect to the Shelly device's hotspot and open http://192.168.33.1.
2. Go to Settings > Login (or Security on some firmware versions).
3. Enable the Restrict Login toggle.
4. Enter a username and a strong password of your choice.
5. Click Save. From this point on, accessing the Shelly web interface at 192.168.33.1 will require these credentials.

Choose a password that is at least 12 characters long and combines uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using the device's serial number or your Wi-Fi password as the admin password.

What Is 192.168.33.1 and Why Does It Matter?

192.168.33.1 is a Class C private IPv4 address that falls within the 192.168.0.0–192.168.255.255 range reserved for private networks by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) under RFC 1918. This means it can never appear as a source or destination address on the public internet — it exists solely within your local area network (LAN).

When a device like the Huawei PT530 or a Shelly smart relay is assigned 192.168.33.1 as its default IP, it acts as the gateway for all devices on the 192.168.33.0/24 subnet. This subnet can theoretically accommodate up to 254 host addresses (192.168.33.1 through 192.168.33.254), with 192.168.33.0 reserved as the network address and 192.168.33.255 as the broadcast address.

In practice, when you connect a laptop, smartphone, or tablet to a network managed by a device at 192.168.33.1, your device will be automatically assigned an address in the same subnet — for example:

• Your laptop might receive 192.168.33.2
• Your smartphone might receive 192.168.33.3
• Your tablet might receive 192.168.33.4

These addresses are handed out by the device's built-in DHCP server. The gateway at 192.168.33.1 then routes traffic between your local devices and the wider internet via your ISP's connection. Understanding this structure helps you troubleshoot connectivity issues, set up static IPs for specific devices, or configure port forwarding rules correctly.

Other commonly used private gateway addresses in the same 192.168.x.x family include 192.168.0.1, 192.168.2.1, 192.168.8.1, 192.168.10.1, and 192.168.100.1. If 192.168.33.1 does not respond on your network, one of these alternatives may be your actual gateway.

Frequently Asked Questions About 192.168.33.1

Which router brands use 192.168.33.1 as their default IP?

The two primary brands confirmed to use 192.168.33.1 as their default gateway are Huawei and Shelly. Specific Huawei models include the PT530 Powerline Access Point, the WS323 Wireless Range Extender, and the WS322 Wireless Range Extender.

For Shelly devices, no login credentials are required by default — the web interface at 192.168.33.1 opens without authentication unless you have manually enabled the login restriction.

Is 192.168.33.1 safe to use?

Yes, 192.168.33.1 is a private IP address and is completely safe. It is not accessible from the public internet. However, you should always change the default admin password on your Huawei or Shelly device to prevent unauthorized access from within your local network.

Can two devices on my network share the IP 192.168.33.1?

No. Only one device can hold the IP address 192.168.33.1 on a given network at any time. Assigning the same address to two devices causes an IP address conflict, which will disrupt connectivity for both devices. If you suspect a conflict, check your router's DHCP client list or use a network scanner to identify all assigned addresses on the 192.168.33.0/24 subnet.

How do I find out if 192.168.33.1 is my default gateway?

On Windows, open Command Prompt and type ipconfig /all, then look for the Default Gateway value. On macOS or Linux, open Terminal and run netstat -nr | grep default. If the result shows 192.168.33.1, that is your gateway. If it shows a different address such as 192.168.1.254 or 10.0.0.1, use that address instead to access your router's admin panel.

What subnet does 192.168.33.1 belong to?

192.168.33.1 belongs to the 192.168.33.0/24 subnet, which supports up to 254 host addresses ranging from 192.168.33.1 to 192.168.33.254. The network address is 192.168.33.0 and the broadcast address is 192.168.33.255. This is a standard Class C private subnet commonly used in home and small office environments.
