Change Huawei E5776 Default Wifi Name (SSID)
Rename your Huawei E5776 Default Wifi Name (SSID). Some Huawei routers come with default network names (with the name of the manufacturer). We recommend to use a different name because a default name unnecessarily identifies the make of your router, making it easier for attackers to break in.
Change Huawei E5776 Default Password
It’s easy for a hacker to find out the manufacturer’s default password for your Huawei E5776 router and then use that password to access your wireless network. So it’s wise to change the administrator password for your Huawei E5776 router. When you’re deciding on your new password, try to pick a complex series of numbers and letters and try to avoid using a password that can be guessed easily.

Where are you placing the Huawei E5776 router in the house?
You wouldn’t think about this at first, but where you place your Huawei E5776 also has a bearing on your security.
Place the Huawei E5776 router as close as possible to the middle of your house. The first benefit is that all the rooms in your house have the same access to the Internet. The second benefit is that you don’t want to have your wireless signal range reach too much outside your house, where it can be easily intercepted by cybercriminals.
For this reason, don’t place your Huawei E5776 router next to a window, since there’s nothing to obstruct the signal going outside your house.
