2. Setup Instructions

2.1. Physical Connection

To set up your network, follow these steps:

1. Connect the Xiaomi 10G Ethernet Switch to its power supply using the provided power adapter.
2. Connect your router's LAN port or the optical/broadband modem's LAN port to one of the switch's 2.5G Ethernet ports using a network cable. If an optical/broadband modem is provided by your broadband operator, connect it to the WAN port of your router. If not, connect the home network cable directly to the WAN port on the back of the router.
3. Connect your devices (e.g., computers, game consoles, NAS, printers) to the remaining 2.5G or 10G SFP+ Ethernet ports on the switch.

2.2. Initial Configuration (Router Connection)

These instructions are suitable for any model of Xiaomi or Redmi Router. For smoother connection, you may need to adjust your phone's region settings:

1. After powering on the router, wait for its system light to turn white or blue, indicating it's ready.
2. On your mobile phone, open the Wi-Fi settings and look for a new Wi-Fi network starting with "xiaomi" or "Redmi". The specific name can be found on the bottom label of the router. Connect to this network.
3. A web page for initialization should automatically pop up. If it doesn't, manually open a web browser and navigate to 192.168.31.1 or miwifi.com.
4. If configuring from a computer, connect your computer's LAN port to one of the router's LAN ports with a network cable, then open your browser to miwifi.com.
5. Click "Experience Now" on the setup page. The router will automatically detect the type of Internet access.
6. If DHCP mode is detected, the web administrator password will be the same as the Wi-Fi password by default. You can click "Advanced Settings" to set separate passwords for 2.4G/5G Wi-Fi and the administrator.
7. For manual configuration (e.g., PPPoE dial-up mode), click "Manual Configuration" at the bottom of the screen and follow the on-screen guidelines. For PPPoE, enter the broadband account/password provided by your operator.
8. After setting the Wi-Fi name and password, click "Next". A successful configuration message will appear, displaying your password information. The Wi-Fi module will restart. Connect to the new Wi-Fi network, and your phone/computer will be able to access the Internet.

3. Operating Instructions

The Xiaomi 10G Ethernet Switch is designed for ease of use with its plug-and-play functionality. Once connected as per the setup instructions, the switch operates automatically to provide high-speed network connectivity.

• Automatic Operation: The switch automatically detects connected devices and negotiates the optimal speed (10/100/1000/2500M for Ethernet ports, 10G for SFP+ ports).
• Indicator Lights: Observe the indicator lights on the front panel to monitor network activity and connection status for each port.
• VLAN Functionality: If VLANs are configured on your router or network, the switch will support these configurations to segment your network traffic.

4. Maintenance

The Xiaomi 10G Ethernet Switch features a fanless design, which significantly reduces maintenance requirements and ensures quiet operation.

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe the exterior of the switch with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
• Ventilation: Ensure that the ventilation holes on the sides and bottom of the device are not obstructed to allow for proper natural heat dissipation.
• Firmware Updates: Check the official Xiaomi website or MiHome app for any available firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and security.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Xiaomi 10G Ethernet Switch, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Power: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the switch and a working power outlet. Check if the system indicator light is on (white or blue).
• No Network Connection:
  • Verify that all Ethernet cables are securely plugged into their respective ports on the switch, router, and devices.
  • Check the indicator lights for the specific ports; a solid or blinking light usually indicates a connection.
  • Ensure your router is functioning correctly and has an active internet connection.
  • If using PPPoE, double-check the broadband account and password entered during configuration.
• Slow Network Speed:
  • Ensure your connected devices and cables support the desired speeds (e.g., 2.5G or 10G).
  • Check for network congestion or excessive traffic on your network.
• Configuration Access Issues: If the setup webpage does not appear automatically, try accessing it manually via 192.168.31.1 or miwifi.com. Ensure your device is connected to the router's Wi-Fi or LAN.
• Forgotten Password: If you forget your router's administrator password, you may need to perform a factory reset (refer to your router's manual for specific instructions).
