Internet Access Configuration
Step 1: Connect the network cable.
Power on the router. Connect any of its network ports to the wall socket or the LAN port of the optical network terminal (ONT) / broadband modem. The ONT/broadband modem is typically provided by the broadband operator. If it is not provided, connect the incoming network cable directly to any of the LAN ports on the back of the router.

Step 2: Set up internet access.
Connect your mobile phone or computer to the router's Wi-Fi network. The Wi-Fi name is usually found on a label at the bottom of the router. No password is required for the initial connection.
After connecting, the system's internet access guide page should automatically load. If it does not, open your device's browser and navigate to miwifi.com.
Step 3: Configure network settings.
Wait for the indicator light to turn orange and start breathing, then search for and connect to the Wi-Fi network.
Enter the broadband account and password provided by your internet service provider, then click "Next". This step may be skipped depending on your internet access method.
If you forget your broadband account password, contact your provider. Customer service numbers for common providers include: China Telecom (10000), China Netcom (96007), China Unicom (10010), Great Wall Broadband (95079), and China Mobile (10086).
Set a new Wi-Fi password and a management password. You can use the same password for both.
Note: If Wi-Fi settings are modified, the Wi-Fi module may restart. Wi-Fi may be temporarily unavailable during this process. Please try searching for Wi-Fi again later.
IPv6 Setting
1. Open your browser, navigate to miwifi.com, and enter your password to access the router management page.
2. Navigate to "Common Settings" > "Internet Settings". Follow the on-screen instructions to modify the IPv6 function and IPv6 firewall configuration. The IPv6 function is enabled by default.

- Open the Mi Home APP.
- Navigate to the "Mesh Network Devices" page of the main router.
- Click "[Add Node]".
- Complete the network setup according to the provided prompts.
Mesh Networking (Method 2: MeshKey)
Setup Steps:
- Place the sub-router near the main router and connect it to power. Ensure the distance between the routers is greater than 1 meter to prevent interference.
- After the sub-router starts, the main router will automatically detect it, and its indicator light will begin to breathe blue.
- Note: If the sub-router has been previously configured, press and hold the RESET button for 5 seconds to restore its factory settings first.
- Briefly press the MESH button on the main router. The main router's indicator light will flash blue, indicating the networking process has begun.
- Wait for the sub-router's indicator light (or the Internet indicator light for dual-light products) to turn solid white or blue. This signifies that the setup is complete. The network connection was successful.
- Place the sub-router in the desired location for Wi-Fi coverage and power it on.
Alternative Connection Method (Ethernet):
- Place the sub-router in the desired location and plug it in.
- Connect the WAN port of the sub-router (or any available port if no WAN port exists) to a LAN port of the main router (or any available port if no LAN port exists) using an Ethernet cable. The main router's indicator light will flash blue, initiating the networking process.
- Note: If the sub-router has been configured, press and hold the RESET button for 5 seconds to restore its factory settings first.
- Wait for the sub-router's indicator light (or the Internet light for dual-light products) to turn white or blue and remain solid, confirming successful networking.

Q&A
Why can't I get online even though I have completed the Internet settings?
- Confirm if you can search for the router's Wi-Fi network on your mobile phone. If not found, ensure the router is powered on and has completed its startup.
- Use your mobile phone to find and connect to the router.

How can I restore the router to its factory settings?
- Ensure the router has completed its startup.
- Press and hold the RESET button on the router for more than 5 seconds.

Note: Resetting the router reverts it to factory settings, requiring reconfiguration.
What should I do if I forget the router's administrative password?
If no special settings were made, the management password is the same as the Wi-Fi password. Try logging in with the Wi-Fi password. If the problem persists, it is recommended to restore the router to factory settings and set up the internet connection again.
