In this article, we will discuss 5 working methods, from simple viewing on the TV menu to advanced methods via router or command line. Each method is tested on the current models of Xiaomi Mi TV 4A/4S/5 Pro, Mi TV Q1/Q2, as well as on the consoles Mi Box S and Mi Box 4. If your TV is connected to the network via Wi-Fi or cable, but you do not know its IP, choose the convenient method below and follow the instructions.
1. Viewing. IP-Addresses in the settings of the Xiaomi TV
The most obvious and quick way is to look at the network settings of the device itself. On Xiaomi Smart TV, the path to IP depends on the version of the MIUI TV firmware, but the general logic is maintained. Here's how to do it:
Open the main menu of the TV with the Home button on the remote, then go to: Settings → Network and Internet → Network Status (or Settings → Network Connection → Additional on older versions).

2. IP verification via router (for all Xiaomi models)
If the TV doesn't display IP in the settings (or you can't find this section), use your router's web interface. This method is universal and works even if the Mi TV doesn't respond to the remote.

- Log in (the username and password is often admin/admin if you have not changed).
- Find Connected Devices (or DHCP Clients) section.
- Find Xiaomi on the list of devices – it will be next to it IP, MAC-address and type of connection.
On routers of different brands, the path may differ:
| Router brand | The path to the device list | Note |
|---|---|---|
| TP-Link | Additional settings → Local area network → DHCP | IP TV will be in the ARP table |
| ASUS | Network Map → Clients | You can filter by the name MiTV-XXXXX. |
| Xiaomi (Mi Router) | Devices → Connected devices | The TV will be marked with an icon 📺 |
| Keenetic | Devices → List of devices | We can fix it. IP post MAC-TV address |

5. Specialized applications for network scanning
If manual methods seem complicated, use network scanning apps to automatically find all connected devices with IP, MAC and manufacturer.
Popular tools:
- 🖥️ Advanced IP Scanner (Windows) – free, shows device models.
- 📱 Fing (Android/iOS) — Scanning the network from a smartphone, determines Xiaomi TV down MAC.
- 💻 Angry IP Scanner (cross-platform) – supports exporting results to a file.
How to use (in the example of Fing):
- Install the app and connect to the same network as the TV.
- Click Scan - in 10-20 seconds, a list of devices will appear.
- Find Xiaomi (or an unknown device with a MAC starting at 78:6D:94).
- Slip on the device - its IP, MAC and other information will be displayed.
The advantage of this method is that you will see all devices on the network, including those that are not displayed on the router (for example, if they are connected via a Wi-Fi repeater).
💡
In Advanced IP Scanner, you can save the report in.csv and sort the devices by manufacturer, which is convenient for home network documentation.
