Have you bought a Xiaomi router and tried to log into its web interface, but you do not know what address to type in the browser? Or the router suddenly stopped opening on the usual 192.168.31.1? This article will help you to understand all the nuances of access to the control panel of Xiaomi routers - from standard IP- addresses to alternative ways to log in when crashes.
The manufacturer uses multiple official addresses for different models and firmware, and sometimes connection problems arise due to network conflict or resetting. We have gathered up-to-date information on all router lines, from the budget Mi Router 4A to the flagship AX9000, including the rare cases when standard methods do not work, and you will learn how to find the current IP router through a computer or smartphone, if it was changed manually.
Xiaomi Router Standard Addresses: The Complete List
Most Xiaomi routers use one of three primary addresses to access the web interface, depending on the model, firmware version, and region of sale:
- 🌐 miwifi.com is a universal domain for all modern routers (works even if IP is changed).
- 📌 192.168.31.1 is the standard IP for most models (including the Mi Router 3/4/4A/4C/AC2100).
- 🔢 192.168.1.1 is an alternate address for some firmware (more commonly found on older or international versions).
Important: If the router was reset to factory settings, it will always return to standard IP. But after manually changing the subnet (for example, to 192.168.0.x), the address will change accordingly.
| Model router | Main address | Alternative address | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mi Router 4A (all versions) | 192.168.31.1 | miwifi.com | Supports login via Mi WiFi app |
| Mi Router 4C | 192.168.31.1 | 192.168.1.1 | International firmware may require 192.168.1.1 |
| AX3600 / AX6000 | miwifi.com | 192.168.31.1 | Domain preferred – IP may conflict with Mesh networks |
| Redmi Router AC2100 | 192.168.31.1 | 192.168.0.1 | After discharge, returns to 192.168.31.1 |
⚠️ Warning: If a router is connected to another router in Repeater mode, its address will change to IP from the main network. For example, if the main router is distributing 192.168.1.x, Xiaomi will be available in repeater mode at a different address (you can find it through the list of devices of the main router).
How to go to the settings of the Xiaomi router: step-by-step instructions
Even though you know the correct address, many users experience login errors. Follow this guide to avoid typical problems:
- Connect to the router's network, whether by Wi-Fi or cable (LAN port), and make sure the connection indicator is green/blue.
- Open your browser, Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari will do. Avoid browsers with aggressive ad blockers (for example, Brave can block the control panel).
- Enter the address in the address bar: http://miwifi.com or http://192.168.31.1 Do not add www or https:// - this will cause an error.
- Sign in - default login and password: admin / admin (if not changed). New firmware may require a password from Wi-Fi.
Connection to a router network (Wi-Fi or cable)
Disabling VPN/proxy in the browser
Cleaning the browser cache (Ctrl+Shift+Del)
Antivirus check (it can block access)-->
If the page does not open, try:
- 🔄 Reboot the router (reset button for 10 seconds or power out for 30 seconds).
- 🖥️ Use a different browser – sometimes Internet Explorer (in compatibility mode) works where modern browsers refuse.
- 📱 Try from your phone – connect to the Wi-Fi router and enter the address in the mobile browser.
How to find out the current IP- address of the router if the standard one is not working
If a router doesn't open on 192.168.31.1 or miwifi.com, it's likely that its IP has been changed manually or is in conflict with another network.
Method 1: Through the command line (Windows)
Open the Command Prompt (Win + R → enter cmd → Enter) and execute the command:
ipconfig /allLook for the main gateway line in an active block (Wi-Fi or Ethernet). This is the router's current IP.
Method 2: Through the terminal (macOS/Linux)
Enter the command:
netstat -rn | grep defaultThe address after default is a gateway (router).
Method 3: Using a smartphone (Android/iOS)
Install Fing or IP Tools – they will show all devices on the network, including the router (usually marked as Gateway).
⚠️ Warning: If the results of ipconfig show an address of the type 169.254.x.x, it means that your computer has not received IP from the router. Check the cable, restart the router, or reset the network settings to the PC.
💡
If the router is connected to the provider via PPPoE, its local IP may be different from the standard one, in which case try to type http://192.168.100.1 in the browser, which is sometimes used for diagnostics.
Frequent errors when entering the control panel and their solutions
Even with the right address, users are faced with errors, and let's look at typical scenarios and ways to fix them:
| Mistake. | Reason. | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| The page does not open (white screen or "Unconnected") | Incorrect IP, router turned off, blocking antivirus | Check the power, disable the antivirus, try miwifi.com |
| Incorrect login/password | Forgot the data after a change or reset | Reset the router with the Reset button (hold 10 seconds) |
| 404 error or redirect to search engine | Misprint in the address, use of https:// | Enter http:// without www and s at the end |
| Connection not secure (in browser) | Self-signed HTTPS certificate | Click "More" → "Go to the site" (not secure) |
If the router has previously been running but suddenly stopped opening, check:
- 🔌 Power - Indicators should burn steadily (orange blink = error).
- 📡 Operating mode – if the router is in MoCA or Bridge mode, its web interface can be disabled.
- 🔄 Conflict IP – if there are two routers on the network with the same address (e.g., 192.168.31.1), one of them will become unavailable.
What if the router freezes and does not respond to reset?
Alternative ways to manage the Xiaomi router
If the web interface is not available, try these methods:
1. Mi WiFi app (official)
Download the app from the App Store or Google Play:
- 📱 Connect to the Wi-Fi router.
- 🔍 The application will automatically find the device on the local network.
- 🔑 Enter the Wi-Fi password (or admin if you haven't changed it).
Advantage: Works even if the router’s IP is changed.
2. Telnet/SSH (for advanced users)
Some firmware (e.g., Mi Router 3G) supports Telnet access:
telnet 192.168.31.1
login
password: adminWarning: This method requires command line knowledge and can disrupt the router when incorrect commands are in place.
3. via Xiaomi Cloud (Remote Access)
If the router is linked to a Mi Account, you can manage it via miwifi.com from any network.
- Sign in to miwifi.com through your Xiaomi account.
- Select your router from the list of devices.
- Use the basic functions (reboot, lock devices).
⚠️ Warning: Remote cloud access doesn't work on all models and requires an active Internet connection on the router, and if the LAN is not configured, it's useless.
How to change the IP- address of the Xiaomi router to another
If the standard address conflicts with another technique or you want to use a different subnet (e.g. 192.168.0.x), you can change it:
- Go to the router’s web interface (at the current address).
- Go to Settings → Local Network (LAN).
- Find the IP- address of the router and enter a new one (e.g., 192.168.0.1).
- Save the settings - the router will restart.
Important: After changing the address:
- 🔄 All connected devices will lose communication for 1-2 minutes.
- 📡 You will have to reconnect to Wi-Fi (if the subnet has changed).
- 🖥️ Update the address in the bookmarks of the browser.
💡
Changing a IP router is useful if your network already uses a 192.168.31.1 address (e.g., another router) and the new subnet should have at least a third octet (e.g., 192.168.5.1).
Features of addresses for Xiaomi Mesh-systems
Xiaomi routers with support for Mesh networks (for example, AX3600 or AX9000) have nuances in addressing:
- 🔗 The host host stores a standard address (192.168.31.1 or miwifi.com).
- 📡 Additional nodes receive dynamic IP from the DHCP range (e.g., 192.168.31.2, 192.168.31.3).
- 🔄 When Mesh synchronization fails, nodes may "fall off" and become inaccessible via IP.
To manage the Mesh network:
- Connect to the main router (its MAC- address is indicated on the sticker).
- Open miwifi.com and all the nodes will be displayed.
- To access the settings of the additional node, use its current IP (you can find out through the list of devices in the main panel).
In Mesh mode, changing the IP of the main router will lead to automatic reconfiguration of all nodes, but can cause a short-term network shutdown (up to 5 minutes).
