Huawei: Connect to a Wi-Fi Network

If your Huawei phone shows no internet access or keeps dropping the connection, the Wi-Fi function itself might still be turned off. You need an active Wi-Fi connection before you can join a private network with a password or a public hotspot. Once Wi-Fi is switched on, your device lists every network within range so you can pick the right one.

Connect to a Wi-Fi Network auf Huawei

Every Huawei phone running EMUI keeps its Wi-Fi radio switched off by default after a reset or a fresh setup, which is the main reason a network list stays empty on the connectivity screen.

To join any network, open Open the settingsTap on Wi-FiActivate Wi-Fi. Once the toggle turns on, EMUI scans the surrounding area and displays every reachable network, both private and public.

Tap the network you want under Choose a Wi-Fi network. A private network prompts for a password, while a public hotspot may connect directly or redirect you to a login page in the browser. Follow the last step, Type in your details, the password if needed and confirm with Connect, to finish the process.

Once connected, EMUI remembers the network and reconnects automatically whenever it is in range, which can raise background data usage on networks you rarely need. If you only want a temporary connection, for example on a public network, turn Wi-Fi off again afterward or forget the network from the same settings screen.
