How to log into the settings of the Xiaomi Wi-Fi router: all ways

Why you can’t go to the Xiaomi router and what to do

You bought a Xiaomi Mi Router router (or inherited it from previous apartment owners), but can't go into the control panel? This problem is familiar to many - especially if the device was already in use. The fact is that the manufacturer does not always specify the current data for the entry on the case sticker, and the standard combinations of the type admin/admin They have not been working on new firmware for a long time.

In this article, we will discuss all possible ways to log into the web interface of Xiaomi routers (including the Mi Router 4A Gigabit, AX3000, AX6000 and others), and also tell you what to do if:

• 🔒 Forgot the login / password from the control panel
• 🌐 No page opens 192.168.31.1 or miwifi.com
• 🔄 Router does not respond to resetting settings
• 📡 Wi-Fi network is available, but the Internet is not working

We warn you right away: if you are not the first owner of the device, there is a high probability that the previous user changed the login data, in which case you can not do without a hardware reset via the Reset button, as detailed in the section on access restoration.

Method 1: Standard entry via 192.168.31.1 or miwifi.com

The easiest method is to use the standard IP-The address or domain name that Xiaomi assigns to its routers by default:

1. Connect your computer or smartphone to the router network via cable (LAN) or Wi-Fi. For Wi-Fi, use the network name and password from the sticker on the bottom of the device (if the settings are not reset).
2. Open any browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) and enter one of the options in the address bar: 🌐 192.168.31.1 (main) IP most models) 🌐 @mwifi.com (alternative address, works even if it is not available) IP modified) 🌐 192.168.0.1 (less commonly found on older firmware)

Enter

If the page does not open, check:

• ✅ Connection to the router (indicator) LAN/Wi-Fi burn)
• ✅ Absence VPN browser-based proxy
• ✅ Correctness of the entered address (without the http:// www)

Attention! If you see an error instead of an authorization page, "Website is unavailable" or "Unconnected," try ping 192.168.31.1 through the command line. If the ping doesn't pass, the network connection problem or the router won't give you a signal. IP-Addresses (you need to check the settings) DHCP).

Method 2: Default login data (logins and passwords)

Xiaomi uses different username/password combinations depending on the router model and firmware version, below is the current table for most devices (2020-2026 release):

If standard data doesn’t fit, try:

• 🔍 View the password on the sticker under the router (sometimes it is specified in the Wi-Fi Password or Admin Password format).
• 📱 Use the Mi Wi-Fi mobile app (download from the App Store or Google Play).The app often connects even if the web interface is blocked.
• 🔄 Reset the settings to factory (instructions in the next section).

💡

On Xiaomi AX3000 routers and later, the web interface can be disabled for security reasons. To turn it on, go to the Mi Wi-Fi app, go to Settings → Additional → Web administration and activate the option.

Method 3: Reset router settings to factory (Hard Reset)

If you don’t know the password from the control panel or the previous owner changed it, the only reliable way to return access is to completely reset the settings. This will delete all user settings (including the Wi-Fi name, passwords and firewall rules), but will allow you to log in with the default data.

1. Find a small Reset button on the back of the router (usually recessed in the case to avoid accidentally pressing).
2. Take a paper clip or toothpick, press and hold the button for 10-15 seconds until the indicators start flashing yellow/orange.
3. Release the button and wait for the reboot (1-2 minutes).

After discharge:

• 🔄 The Wi-Fi network name will become standard (for example, the network name will be used in the network, Xiaomi_XXXX).
• 🔐 The password to log into the control panel will be reset to admin or an empty field (depending on the model).
• ⚠️ All port, parental and guest network settings will be deleted.

⚠️ Attention! On Xiaomi routers AX6000 And Mi Router 6 resetting through the Reset button may not work because of the reset protection, and then you have to use the hardware method: turn off the power, clamp Reset, apply power and hold the 30 seconds button.

Method 4: Sign in via Mi Wi-Fi app (for new models)

Since 2022, Xiaomi has been actively transferring router management to the Mi Wi-Fi mobile application, including the AX3000, AX6000, Mi Router 6 and later, and the web interface is either disabled or severely curtailed.

To log in via the app:

2. Connect your smartphone to the network of the Xiaomi router (over Wi-Fi).
3. Run the app and follow the instructions on the screen, and the system will automatically find your router.
4. Sign in through your Xiaomi account (if the router has already been linked) or create a new one.

• 🔄 Restart the router (turn off power for 10 seconds).
• 📱 Check if Bluetooth is on on your phone (sometimes used for initial setup).

Important! Mi Wi-Fi requires a link to a Xiaomi account. If a router was purchased by a used router, the previous owner could not untie it from his profile, in which case you will have to reset (see section above) or contact Xiaomi with proof of purchase.

Method 5: Alternative methods of entry (Telnet, SSH, TTL)

If none of the above methods worked, there are advanced methods that require technical knowledge, suitable for power users and can lead to loss of warranty or failure of the router if used improperly.
