How to use my mobile phone to set the Xiaomi router after it is restored to the factory settings?
I accidentally restored my Xiaomi router to the factory settings today, and I don’t have a computer at home. I want to ask if I can use my mobile phone to set up Internet access?
Answer:After the factory settings of the Xiaomi router are restored, you can use your mobile phone to set it up to access the Internet; you just need to connect your mobile phone to the Xiaomi router’s default wifi signal, and then open miwifi.com or 192.168.31.1 in the browser to set it up. The following is a demonstration.
Setting steps:
1. First of all, you need to first connect your Xiaomi router and optical cat (the broadband network cable for your home). The correct connection method is as follows:
The network cable connected from the Guangmao or the broadband network cable for home needs to be connected to the Internet interface of the Xiaomi router. If you have a computer at home that needs to access the Internet, use a network cable to connect it to any LAN port on the Xiaomi router.
2. Let your mobile phone search and connect to the Xiaomi_XXXX_XXXX wireless network. This wireless network has no password. Only after connecting can your mobile phone set up your Xiaomi router.
Warm reminder:
(1) After the factory settings are restored, the Xiaomi router will transmit a default wireless network with the name: Xiaomi_XXXX_XXXX after it is connected to the power supply and started. It has no password, and the mobile phone can directly connect.
(2) Newbies and small white users, please note that when using your mobile phone to set up a router to access the Internet, you do not need your mobile phone to be in Internet status; as long as your mobile phone is connected to the router’s wifi network, your mobile phone can set it.
3. In the browser on your mobile phone, visit miwifi.com or 192.168.31.1 in the browser to open the settings page of Xiaomi router, as shown in the following figure.
Problems you may encounter:
After entering miwifi.com or 192.168.31.1 in the browser of your mobile phone, you cannot open the settings page of Xiaomi router. Most of this problem is caused by your own mistakes. Please refer to the following tutorial for solutions:

4. Xiaomi router will automatically detect the Internet access method of your home broadband, wait a few seconds, and set Internet access parameters based on the detection results.
(1) If it is detected that the Internet access method is: PPPoE dial-up-the system will prompt you to fill in: Broadband account number (Internet access user name) and Broadband password (Internet access password) in the page, as shown in the following figure.
Warm reminder:
If you forget your broadband account number and broadband password, you can call the operator’s customer service number and contact the manual customer service for inquiry or reset.
If your old router can access the Internet, you can click on the page: Get this option from the old router, and then follow the prompts on the page to obtain the broadband account number and broadband password from the old router.
(2) If the system detects that the Internet access method is: DHCP Internet access (dynamic IP Internet access), the page for setting Internet access parameters will not appear, and it will directly jump to the interface for setting WiFi name and password.
5. After setting the Internet access parameters, the system will prompt you to set your Wi-Fi name and password, as shown in the following figure.
Warm reminder:
For the security of the Wi-Fi network, it is best for the Wi-Fi password to contain: upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers, symbols, and the password length is greater than 8 digits. After setting this way, Wi-Fi has the highest security and can effectively avoid being harassed.
6. Select where to place your Xiaomi router at home, and then set the management password.
Warm reminder:
If you want to set the WiFi password as the management password, just check the option: Same as Wi-Fi password.
7. When the interface shown in the following figure appears, it means that the router has been successfully set up. Click: Next.
After completing the settings, don’t forget to connect your mobile phone to the new Wi-Fi signal of the Xiaomi router. After connecting, you can surf the Internet.
