Requirements

The things that you will require for MI router login are an internet connecting device, a stable internet connection (most preferably through your MI router only), the IP address of your router, and the username and password of your router.

How To Get IP Address Of MI Router?

To get the IP address of your router, go through the instruction manual provided along with the router, the IP address of the device (in this case the router) will be mentioned in the manual. But in most cases, people tend to misplace the manual or are too lazy to go through the whole manual line by line. In such cases, you can either go for one of these options: either search for the IP address by the ipconfig method or by using the default IP address which a major portion of MI users claims to work in the case of their router.

The most widely used default MI router login IP address is 192.168.31.1

What Are My Username and Password?

You can find the default username and password both in the manual as well as on the router box. Check the back of the router and the base of the router you will find it written on the router or else pasted on the router.

You can even try to log in using the commonly used default username and password for the MI router login:

The commonly used username and password is (blank) and admin respectively. Try logging in by typing (blank) in the box provided next to username and admin to the next password.

If you are unable to do the MIWIFI login using the default username and password, then the password might have been changed. And now you have to give the new password only then you will be able to log in. If you don’t remember making this change or have forgotten the password then in order to login you have to reset the whole router. But make sure you have enough knowledge in this regard or seek the help of an expert while resetting because this will reset the complete router settings and not just the password. 

 

 

To reset the router search for a small hole like thing on the router, bring a toothpick or a pen or the sim ejector pin to insert into the hole. Press and hold for 25 to 30 seconds to reset the router. Once the router is reset you can login using the default username and password.

Conclusion

The “MI” stands for Mobile Internet and can also be signifying ” Mission Impossible” because during its initial days it faced tough challenges and now where it stands, is almost impossible to imagine at that time.
