192.168.31.1 — Xiaomi, Mi & Redmi Router Login

What is 192.168.31.1?

192.168.31.1 is a private IPv4 address used as the default gateway on Xiaomi routers. Xiaomi ships its Mi Router, Redmi Router, and Mi WiFi mesh products on the 192.168.31.x subnet rather than the more common 192.168.1.x, with the router itself at 192.168.31.1. The same admin page also answers to the friendly hostname miwifi.com. Because it's an RFC 1918 private address, it's only reachable from a device on your own network.

Which devices use 192.168.31.1

If your router isn't a Xiaomi product, you probably want 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 instead.

How to log in to 192.168.31.1 — step by step

1. Connect to the Xiaomi router over its WiFi or by Ethernet, so your device gets a 192.168.31.x address.
2. Open a browser and type http://192.168.31.1 (or http://miwifi.com) in the address bar, not the search box. Use http://, not https.
3. Enter the admin password you created during setup. See the note below — there is no fixed factory password.
4. Manage the router: change the WiFi name/password, view connected devices, set up a guest network or parental controls, and update firmware.

The default password — there isn't a fixed one

Unlike many routers, Xiaomi units don't ship with a printed default like admin. On first setup you create the admin (management) password yourself. It's a separate field from the WiFi key, though many people set them the same. So if you're asked for a password at 192.168.31.1, it's the one set during initial configuration — not a factory default. If nobody remembers it, the only way back in is a factory reset (hold the reset pinhole 8–10 seconds), which lets you set a fresh password but wipes all settings.

If the page is in Chinese

Xiaomi routers built for the Chinese market often run Chinese-only firmware, so both 192.168.31.1 and the Mi WiFi app appear in Chinese. Options: some models offer a language switch in settings; others need global/international firmware flashed to gain English. The simplest route for most people is the Mi Home (Xiaomi Home) app set to an English-speaking region, which presents the same controls in English. Be cautious flashing firmware — using the wrong region build can brick the unit.

"192.168.31.1 not working" — fixes

• Try the other address: If miwifi.com won't resolve, use the numeric 192.168.31.1, and vice versa.
• Use http, not https: The admin page is plain HTTP; an HTTPS redirect will fail to connect.
• Disable VPN / custom DNS: A VPN or ad-blocking DNS can hijack miwifi.com — turn it off while you log in.
• Wrong subnet: If your device's address isn't 192.168.31.x, the Xiaomi router may be in repeater/access-point mode behind another router that assigns IPs.
• Use the app: The Mi Home / Mi WiFi app manages the same router without typing the IP.
• Forgot the password: Reset to defaults with the pinhole, then set a new admin password — this clears your config.

What you can configure at 192.168.31.1

• WiFi name (SSID) and password, plus separate 2.4GHz/5GHz or a merged band
• Guest network and QR-code WiFi sharing
• Connected device list with per-device speed limits and blocking
• Parental controls and access schedules
• Port forwarding, DHCP reservations, and DDNS
• Firmware updates and the 192.168.31.x LAN range

Getting the best speed from a Xiaomi router

Xiaomi's cheaper models can be CPU-limited at gigabit speeds, so place the router centrally and high up, keep firmware current, and split or merge the bands to suit your devices. After any change, run a speed test next to the router and again in your problem rooms to see the real difference. If far rooms stay weak, compare your options in our mesh vs extender guide.
