IP-The address of your Xiaomi smartphone is like a digital passport on the web, and it's used to set up a router, remotely access your device, solve connection problems, or even play on the local network. IT? In this article, we will discuss all the current methods of verification. IP-Addresses on Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO β standard-tool MIUI lifehacks.
It's important to understand that a smartphone has two types of IP: local (internal, issued by the router) and external (global, which is seen by sites on the Internet), we will show how to learn both options without unnecessary programs and with them, and explain why sometimes IP can change when you reconnect to Wi-Fi or reboot the router.
1. Verify local IP through Wi-Fi settings (fastest way)
If your Xiaomi is connected to Wi-Fi, local IP-You can find the address in 30 seconds, right on the wireless menu, and this works on all versions. MIUI (12 to 14) and does not require additional applications.
Open the Settings. β Wi-Fi and tap your network name (it should be connected). IP-address - there will be a line of form 192.168.x.x or 10.0.x.x. This is your local address on your home network.
- π± It works on all models: Xiaomi 13/14, Redmi Note 12/11, POCO F5/X5 etc.
- π IP may change when the router is restarted (if not fixed in the settings) DHCP).
- β‘ If the field is empty, check if you are connected to Wi-Fi.
β οΈ Attention: Local IP It's not going to show you your address on the Internet. IP (see section 3).
2. How to find out IP through mobile Internet information (3G/4G/5G)
If you are using the mobile internet (SIM-map), then local IP-The address is assigned by the operator, and you can see it through the hidden menu of engineering settings, but it is easier to use the standard section About the phone.
Go to Settings. β The phone. β General information β Status. Scroll down to Status Block. SIM-maps -- there's a line. IP-It usually looks like an address. 10.x.x.x or 100.x.x.x (These are the operator's internal addresses).
| Operator. | Typical IP format | Note |
|---|---|---|
| MTS | 10.100.x.x | It may change when you reconnect. |
| Beeline | 10.10.x.x | Sometimes it's 100.64.x.x. |
| MegaFon | 10.200.x.x | Static for corporate tariffs |
| Tele2. | 10.150.x.x | Often coincides with IPv6-address |
This IP is not suitable for setting up a router or a local network β it is only needed to diagnose a mobile Internet connection. For an external address, use the method in the next section.
External (Global) IP: How to Check It Online
Outside IP-The address is the one that websites, servers, and other devices see on the Internet, and it can't be recognized through your phone's settings, but it can be verified through online services:
- π 2ip.ru β show IP, The weather, the city and even the weather by your location.
- π WhatIsMyIP β additionally checks for leaks DNS and tracker protection.
- π‘οΈ IPinfo β Provides technical data (ASN, hosting provider).
Just open any of these sites in Xiaomiβs browser β your external IP will be displayed automatically. Note: if you use a VPN or proxy, the service will show the IP server, not your phone.
Open the browser (Chrome, Mi Browser)
Go to 2ip.ru or similar service
Verify IP with provider data (if you have access to your personal account)
If necessary, disconnect VPN-->
β οΈ Attention: External IP It can be dynamic (changes when you reconnect) or static (fixed). Check with your ISP if you need a permanent address.
4.Use of IP verification applications (alternative methods)
If standard methods don't work (like custom firmware), you can install specialized utilities that not only show IP, but also provide additional information about the network.
Top.-3 apps:
- π Network Info II β shows local/external IP, MAC-Address, network speed, and even neighboring Wi-Fi points.
- π§ Fing β scans the network, determines the IP All connected devices and checks the ports.
- π‘οΈ IP Tools β includes ping, traceroute and WHOIS-check-up IP-address.
To find out about IP via Network Info II:
- Install the app from Google Play.
- Open it and go to the WiFi (or Mobile for Mobile Internet) tab.
- Find the IPv4 Address (local) and Public IP (external) lines.
How to check if your IP has been changed
The advantage of the apps is that they work even on Xiaomi with custom firmware (for example, Xiaomi.EU or Pixel Experience), where the standard MIUI menu may not be available.
5. Verification of IP via command line (for advanced users)
If you like to dig deeper, you can find out IP via Terminal Emulator or ADB. This method is suitable for network diagnostics or task automation.
Install the Termux app (or any other terminal) from Google Play and execute the commands:
For Wi-Fi:
ip route show | grep -i "src" | awk '{print $9}'
For mobile Internet:
ifconfig rmnet_data | grep "inet addr"The result will be similar to 192.168.1.100 β this is your local IP.
curl ifconfig.meπ‘
If the ifconfig command is not working, install the net-tools package in Termux: pkg install net-tools.
This method is useful if you need to automate IP verification (e.g. via script) or if the MIUI graphical interface is not available.
Frequent problems and their solutions
Sometimes. IP-The address may not be displayed or it may not work properly.
| Problem. | Possible cause | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| IP is not displayed in Wi-Fi settings | DHCP on router disabled | Enable DHCP in the router administration panel (typically 192.168.1.1) |
| IP starts at 169.254.x.x | No connection to the router (APIPA) | Restart your router and phone, check your Wi-Fi password |
| External IP is the same as other devices | You use NAT (typical for mobile internet) | This is normal β operators save addresses. |
| IP changes too often | Short time of DHCP lease | Lock it down. IP post MAC-phone address in router settings |
If none of these methods worked, try:
- Reboot the phone and router.
- Reset network settings: Settings β System β Reset β Reset settings Wi-Fi, mobile network and Bluetooth.
- Update MIUI to the latest version (sometimes IP-display bugs are fixed in new firmware).
π‘
If your local IP starts at 169.254, that's a sign of a lack of communication with your router. Check the cable/Wi-Fi and restart the hardware.
