You’re trying to connect your Xiaomi TV to a local network for streaming, remote control, or smart home setup, but you don’t know how to find it. IP-Without this setting, you can't configure access to DLNA, plug in ADB Or add it to apps like Mi Home, and in this article, we'll look at all the current ways, from standard settings to alternative methods for when the TV doesn't respond to the remote.
It is important to understand that IP-The address can be dynamic (changes with each connection) or static (hand-holding). If you plan to use the TV as a server for Plex or Kodi, it is better to fix it. IP You have to find it first, and then you have detailed instructions for all Xiaomi Mi models. TV (including Mi TV 4A/4S/5 Pro, Redmi Smart TV etc.).
1. Through Xiaomi TV settings (the easiest way)
If the TV is on and reacts to the remote, it takes less than a minute to do this, and the interface may vary slightly depending on the version of the MIUI TV, but the overall algorithm is the same.
Open the main menu by pressing the Settings button on the remote.
- 📺 For MIUI TV 3.0 and newer: Settings → Network and Internet → State of the network. IP-The address will be listed in the Local Network section.
- 📺 For older versions (MIUI TV 1.0–2.0): Settings → Network → Connection to Wi-Fi/Ethernet → Additionally.
- 📺 For Redmi Smart TV: Settings → General. → On TV. → State of the network.
If the TV is connected via cable (Ethernet) but the IP is not displayed, check if the router is on DHCP. In rare cases, you may need to restart the device (press the power button for 10 seconds).
💡
If IP-address begins with 169.254.x.x, This means that the TV didn't get the correct address from the router.
2. via the router's web interface (if there is no access to the remote)
If the remote is lost or the TV is not responsive to buttons, IP can be found through the router control panel. This method is universal and works for any device on the network, including Xiaomi Mi TV.
First connect to the router from your computer or smartphone. Open the browser and enter the address of the control panel (usually 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.8.1). Login and password are listed on the router sticker (most often) admin/admin).
The next steps depend on the router model:
| Mark the router | The path to the device list | How to find Mi TV |
|---|---|---|
| TP-Link | Additional settings → Local Network → DHCP → Customer List | Look for a device called MiTV or Xiaomi |
| Xiaomi Mi Router | Devices → Connected devices | Filter by type TV or MiTV name |
| ASUS | Network Map → Clients | Sort by IPv4-To the address, look for Xiaomi in the Host Name column |
| Keenetic | Devices → List of devices | Hover the cursor on the device - a hint from IP will appear |
If the TV doesn't appear on the list of devices, make sure it's connected to the same Wi-Fi or Ethernet network, sometimes turning off/on the TV.
3. using the Mi Home or Google Home mobile app
If the Xiaomi TV is linked to your Mi Account, you can find out its IP through the official Mi Home app, which is convenient if you control the equipment remotely.
Open Mi Home, go to Devices tab and select your TV. From the device menu, find Settings section. → On TV. → Network information. It'll show you the current information. IP-If there is no section, update the app to the latest version.
Alternatively, Google Home (if the TV supports Google Cast):
- 📱 Open Google Home and select your TV.
- 📱 Click on the gear icon (Settings) → Device information.
- 📱 Scroll down to the Technical Data Block - there will be IP.
What if the TV is not displayed in Mi Home?
4.Using the command line (for power users)
This is a good method if you prefer to work with Windows, macOS or Linux through a terminal, and it doesn't require access to a remote or router, but assumes that the TV is already connected to the local network.
Open the command line (Win + R → cmd for Windows) and execute the command:
arp -aIn the list, find the device with MAC-address beginning on 78:11:DC, B4:FB:E4 or 28:6C:07 — These are the standard prefixes for Xiaomi's hardware. IP-address.
If there are many devices on the network, you can filter the output by keyword:
arp -a | findstr"xiao"For macOS/Linux, use:
arp -n | grep -i"xiao"If the TV is not displayed, try "call" it by sending ping to the broadcast address:
ping 192.168.1.255Then re-run the arp-a.
💡
MAC-The Xiaomi TV address can also be found on the back sticker (format: 12 characters separated by colons or dashes).
5. via ADB (for advanced users)
If you're setting up your Android TV or need low-level access, you can get IP through ADB (Android Debug Bridge), a method that requires you to pre-set the debugging on your TV.
First, turn on USB debugging:
- Go to Settings. → On TV.
- Click 7 times on the build number until the notification “You became a developer” appears.
- Return to Settings → Additional → For developers and enable USB debugging.
Connect the TV to your computer via USB (the port is usually located on the side) and follow the commands:
adb devices
adb shell ip routeThe answer will be a line of the form 192.168.x.0/24 is your subnet. IP TV can be calculated by adding the last octet (for example, 192.168.1.100).
If ADB does not recognize the device, install drivers for Xiaomi Mi TV from the official website or through the Mi PC Suite.
Install Android SDK Platform Tools
Enable the Developer Mode on the TV
Connect the TV to the PC via USB-cable (original!)
Start the command line on behalf of the administrator
-->
6. Alternative methods (if nothing works)
If standard methods don’t work, try these options:
- 🔌 Network reset: Go to Settings → Network and Internet → Reset the network settings. Once the TV is restarted, it'll get a new one. IP, which you can see on the router.
- 📡 Scanner apps: Install Fing, Network Scanner or IP Tools.Run a network scan - the TV will show up as Xiaomi or Android TV.
- 🖥️ Through Smart. DNS/VPN: If the TV is connected to VPN smart DNS, IP Disable these services in the network settings.
If the Xiaomi TV is not connected to the network at all, check:
- 🔌 Physical Ethernet cable connection (if used).
- 📶 Correctness of the entered Wi-Fi password (registration is important!).
- 🔄 Settings DHCP on the router (must be enabled).
💡
If the TV is connected to the network but the IP is not displayed, try manually setting a static address. In the network settings, select Additional → Manual IP settings and enter the values corresponding to your subnet (e.g. 192.168.1.150 with a 255.255.255.0 mask).
Frequent Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
If Xiaomi TV gets a better IP-ranged 169.254.x.x, that means that DHCP-The router server is inaccessible or blocked, as is the case for networks with severe restrictions (e.g. offices or hotels:
- 🔄 Restart router and TV.
- 📡 Check if the router is on Bridge Mode).
- 🔧 Set up a static. IP manually (see previous section).
Another common problem is conflict. IP-Symptoms: the TV periodically disconnects from the network or does not respond to commands:
- Disconnect all devices from the network except the TV.
- Reboot the router.
- Turn on the TV first, it will get its first free IP.
💡
If you use Powerline adapters, make sure the TV and router are connected to the same phase. IP-address may not be assigned.
Another nuance is dual NAT, which occurs when a second router is connected to the main router in NAT mode, in which case the TV will only be visible in the subnet of the second router. Solution: transfer the second router to AP mode (Access Point).
