This is a step-by-step guide on how to unlock a Huawei E5172s-920 4G LTE CPE branded/locked to Swift 4G Nigeria.

Steps to unlock a Huawei E5172s-920 / SWIFT 4G LTE CPE Router


This unlock method takes less than a minute as described below

  1. Purchase the unlock code
  2. Once you've received the unlock code, replace the SIM card with that of another network (a Non-SWIFT SIM card) . See how to remove the SIM card from a Huawei E5172s-920 router to take out the SIM card
  3. Switch on the Hub and connect to it via Wi-Fi or LAN cable
  4. In your address bar, visit http://homerouter.cpe , 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.8.1
  5.  Click Login at the top. If you haven't changed your login credentials then use:

    Default username: user
    Default password: user

    If the above credentials don't work then try

    Default username: admin
    Default password: admin

  10. You can now use any SIM card on your SWIFT 4G LTE Hub

Important Notice
  • This guide has avoided recommending a particular website/source for purchasing the unlock code to avoid being blamed for a bad user experience by another website
  • It's important you avoid entering incorrect unlock codes too many times as this would exhaust the unlock quota
  • Once unlocked, you can use a SIM from any 4G network which supports a band also supported by the router/modem

After unlocking there is no way to add APN to use for other GSM network, is there a way to add APN or to upgrade / downgrade the dashboard, maybe with that it will be easier to add APN
