How to log in at 192.168.31.1

Type it into the address bar, not a search box. Or type router.miwifi.com.
  1. Connect to the router. Join its Wi-Fi or use a cable. On a phone, turn off mobile data and any VPN for a minute.
  2. Type the address. Enter http://192.168.31.1 or router.miwifi.com in the address bar, not a search box.
  3. Enter the admin password. Try the Wi-Fi password first. Setup asks for a Wi-Fi password and an admin password, and offers to make them the same, which many people do.
  4. On a new or reset router, run setup. The page opens the setup steps instead of a login, and ends by asking for both passwords.

What the password is

Situation Username Password to try
Set up, admin password never changed None asked Your Wi-Fi password
Admin password changed later None asked The new one. There is no way to read it back
New or just reset None asked None yet: setup asks you to create one

Lists online give admin / admin for 192.168.31.1. Xiaomi’s routers do not use a username at all, and we found no Xiaomi source for that pair.

Forgot the admin password

Try the Wi-Fi password first. If that fails, Xiaomi’s answer is a factory reset. On the BE3600 it goes like this, and other models are similar:

  1. With the router switched on, press the reset button on the back for about 5 seconds. A pin helps if it is recessed.
  2. The indicator turns orange while it resets.
  3. When it turns blue again, the reset is done. Connect to the router’s default Wi-Fi and open router.miwifi.com to set it up.

The reset clears everything: Wi-Fi name, passwords, port forwarding and parental controls. If your provider gave you a PPPoE login, have it ready. How to find your router password has the options to try before you press anything.

192.168.31.1 will not open

  • The Xiaomi sits behind your provider’s box. A device on the provider’s Wi-Fi cannot reach it. Join the Xiaomi network.
  • It is a mesh satellite. Satellites are managed from the main router, so log in to that one.
  • The address was changed. The default gateway of a connected device is the real address. On Windows run ipconfig. On an iPhone open Settings, then Wi-Fi, and tap the (i) beside your network.

For the less obvious causes, see why the router page will not load when the internet works fine.

Questions people ask

Is the admin password the same as the Wi-Fi password?

Often, yes, because setup offers to make them match. They are still two settings, and changing one later does not change the other. If it is the Wi-Fi one you need, here is how to find it.

Can I open 192.168.31.1 on my phone?

Yes, in a browser while the phone is on the router’s Wi-Fi. On mobile data it reaches nothing.
