FAQ
Why does the Xiaomi router use 192.168.31.1 instead of 192.168.1.1?
Xiaomi chose 192.168.31.1 to avoid conflicts with ISP-supplied routers at 192.168.1.1. In many Chinese home setups, the ISP provides a router/modem at 192.168.1.1, and the Mi Router is connected downstream. Using 192.168.31.1 ensures both routers are on different subnets and accessible simultaneously.
Can I use the Xiaomi Mi Router outside China?
Yes. International versions of Mi Router are sold globally and work on standard Wi-Fi protocols. The admin interface is available in English on international firmware. The 192.168.31.1 address and miwifi.com hostname work the same regardless of region.
Xiaomi Quirks Worth Knowing
The "31" subnet is pure Xiaomi branding, no other major vendor uses it, so like Buffalo's .11.1 this address basically names the manufacturer. The hostname miwifi.com lands on the same panel, and there's no factory password: you create the admin password during first setup, with the same reuse-your-Wi-Fi-password shortcut Huawei offers, and the same amnesia consequences months later.
The bigger thing to understand with Xiaomi is the firmware split. Units sold for the Chinese market run Chinese-language firmware with region-specific cloud services; global versions have English panels and international servers. They're often the same hardware, and grey-import shops happily sell the Chinese version cheaper. A surprising amount of "how do I change my Xiaomi router to English" traffic online is people discovering this after purchase, the language of the panel is baked into the firmware region, not a dropdown. Check which version you're buying, the sticker shows a model suffix and the box states the market.
The Mi Home / Mi WiFi app manages these routers remotely through a Xiaomi account, entirely optional, the web panel does everything locally if you prefer keeping the router off the cloud.
