miwifi.com is the branded login URL for Xiaomi routers. It resolves to 192.168.31.1 through the router's DNS resolver, loading the Mi WiFi admin interface. Xiaomi routers do not have a default password. You set one during first-time setup through the Mi WiFi app.
miwifi.com is the branded login URL for Xiaomi routers. When you type this address into a browser while connected to a Xiaomi network, the router’s DNS resolver intercepts the request and maps it to 192.168.31.1. This is an unusual default IP address compared to the 192.168.1.1 that other brands use. The Mi WiFi admin interface loads, providing access to network settings, connected devices, and system configuration. Xiaomi routers do not ship with a default admin password. You must set one during the initial setup process through the Mi WiFi app.
How to Access miwifi.com
To reach miwifi.com, connect your device to the Xiaomi router using Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable plugged into a LAN port. The default Wi-Fi network name is printed on the bottom label and typically starts with “Xiaomi” or “Redmi” followed by a model identifier. Open a web browser and type miwifi.com in the address bar. The router login page loads.
If this is the first time powering on the router, the browser redirects to a setup wizard. The Mi WiFi app (iOS and Android) is the recommended setup method. The app detects the router on the local network and walks you through internet configuration, Wi-Fi name and password creation, and admin password creation.
After initial setup, the login page shows a single password field. Enter the admin password you created during setup. The admin interface displays internet status, connected devices, Wi-Fi settings, and system tools.
Some models sold in mainland China display the interface in Chinese by default. International models default to English. On Chinese-firmware models, look for the language toggle in the top-right corner of the admin page.
When miwifi.com Does Not Work
miwifi.com relies on the Xiaomi router’s DNS resolver intercepting the query. Five common issues can prevent access.
-
Custom DNS on your device sends the query to public servers. If your device uses Google (8.8.8.8) or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1), the Xiaomi router does not see the request. Xiaomi owns miwifi.com as a public domain, and public DNS resolves it to Xiaomi’s Chinese web servers instead of your local router. Set DNS to automatic.
-
You are not connected to the Xiaomi router’s network. If your setup includes a separate modem or access point, confirm your device is on the Xiaomi SSID. Check the network name against the label on the bottom of the router.
-
A VPN is active on your device. VPN connections tunnel DNS queries through external servers, bypassing local resolution. Disconnect the VPN.
-
The browser forces HTTPS. Xiaomi routers serve the admin panel over HTTP. If your browser automatically adds https://, the connection fails. Type http://miwifi.com explicitly.
-
The router is still initializing. Xiaomi routers take 45 to 60 seconds to boot fully after power on. Wait until the LED indicator shows a solid blue or white light before attempting to access the login portal.
Type the IP address 192.168.31.1 directly as a fallback. This method bypasses DNS and works regardless of your DNS configuration.
miwifi.com vs the IP Address
miwifi.com and 192.168.31.1 both reach the same Mi WiFi admin panel. The branded URL uses DNS resolution while the IP address connects directly.
miwifi.com has a notable quirk. Because Xiaomi registered it as a public domain hosting their Chinese-language product page, accessing it from outside the router’s network loads the Xiaomi website. This can be confusing when troubleshooting. The IP address 192.168.31.1 does not have this problem because it is a private address that never routes to the internet.
Use the branded URL when your Xiaomi router handles DNS and you want a memorable address. Use the IP address when DNS is customized, when troubleshooting WAN connectivity, or when you want to avoid any DNS confusion.
Default Credentials for Xiaomi
After accessing miwifi.com, Xiaomi routers do not have a default admin password. The firmware requires you to create one during first setup.
| Model | Default IP | Default Password | Setup Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mi Router AX3000 | 192.168.31.1 | set during setup | Mi WiFi app |
| Mi Router AX6000 | 192.168.31.1 | set during setup | Mi WiFi app |
| Redmi AX5 | 192.168.31.1 | set during setup | Mi WiFi app |
| Mi Router 4A Gigabit | 192.168.31.1 | set during setup | Mi WiFi app |
| Mi Router BE7000 | 192.168.31.1 | set during setup | Mi WiFi app |
If you forget the admin password, the only recovery method is a factory reset. Press and hold the reset button on the back of the router for 10 seconds until the LED flashes orange. After reboot, run the setup process again through the Mi WiFi app and change the Wi-Fi password on all connected devices.
miwifi.com FAQ
What is miwifi.com?
miwifi.com is the branded login URL for Xiaomi routers. When typed into a browser while connected to a Xiaomi network, the router's DNS resolver maps it to 192.168.31.1. This loads the Mi WiFi admin interface for managing network settings.
What is the default password for miwifi.com?
Xiaomi routers do not have a default admin password. You create one during first-time setup through the Mi WiFi app. If you forget the password, you need to factory reset the router by holding the reset button for 10 seconds and set up the device again.
Why does miwifi.com show a Chinese website?
If your DNS is not handled by the Xiaomi router, miwifi.com may resolve to Xiaomi's public Chinese-language website. Set DNS to automatic on your device so the router intercepts the query. Alternatively, type 192.168.31.1 directly.
Why is the interface in Chinese?
Some Xiaomi router models sold in mainland China ship with Chinese-only firmware. You can change the language to English in the settings if the option is available. International models (sold outside China) default to English or the local language.
Is 192.168.31.1 the correct IP for Xiaomi routers?
Yes. Xiaomi uses 192.168.31.1 as the default gateway, which is unusual compared to the 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 used by most other brands. This reduces the chance of IP conflicts in networks with multiple routers.
