Your Guide to the Xiaomi Mi AIoT Router AX6000: Default Passwords & Setup
If you’ve just unboxed a brand-new Xiaomi Mi AIoT Router AX6000, you’re likely looking for the default credentials to jump into the settings and start optimizing your Wi-Fi 6 experience. Getting past the login screen is the first step toward unleashing that 6000Mbps speed and high-speed 2.5G network port.
Here is everything you need to know about the default password and the initial setup process for a new AX6000. The Short Answer: What is the Default Password?
Unlike older routers that came with a sticker saying "admin/admin," the Xiaomi Mi AIoT Router AX6000 does not have a preset default password.
When you power on the router for the first time, the system is in an "unconfigured" state.
Username: There is usually no default username required for the initial setup.
Password: You will be prompted to create a new administrator password during the first-time setup wizard. How to Access the Login Page
To set your password for the first time, follow these steps:
Connect to the Router: Plug in the power and connect your computer or phone to the router via an Ethernet cable or the default Wi-Fi network (usually named "Xiaomi_XXXX").
Open Your Browser: Type 192.168.31.1 or miwifi.com into the address bar.
The Setup Wizard: You will be greeted by the MiWiFi setup screen. This is where you will define your Wi-Fi name (SSID) and your Admin Password.
Pro Tip: During setup, there is often a checkbox that says "Set as the same as Wi-Fi password." If you checked this, your router login password is the same as the Wi-Fi password you just created. Forgot Your Password? How to Reset to Factory Settings
If you’ve acquired a "new-to-you" router or forgot the password you set during the initial run, you’ll need to perform a hard reset to return it to its "new" state.
Locate the Reset Button: Find the small "Reset" hole on the back of the AX6000. xiaomi mi aiot router ax6000 default password new
Press and Hold: Use a paperclip or SIM tool to press and hold the button for about 10 seconds while the router is powered on.
Wait for the Lights: Release the button when the indicator lights change color or start flashing.
Re-configure: Once the router reboots, it will be back to factory defaults. You can now visit 192.168.31.1 to create a new password. Security Best Practices for Your New AX6000
Once you’re inside the dashboard, don’t just use "12345678." Since this router features high-end AIoT integration, it acts as a hub for your smart home. Secure it by:
Using a Unique Admin Pass: Avoid making your router login the same as your Wi-Fi password. If a guest gets your Wi-Fi code, they shouldn't be able to access your router settings.
Updating Firmware: Immediately check for updates. Xiaomi frequently releases patches to improve the stability of the 4x4 160MHz channels and security protocols.
Encryption: Ensure your security is set to WPA3 (if your devices support it) or WPA2-PSK/WPA3-SAE mixed for the best balance of speed and safety. Using the Mi Home / Xiaomi Home App
The easiest way to manage a "new" AX6000 is through the Mi Home App. Open the app on your smartphone. Tap the "+" icon to add a device.
The app should automatically detect the AX6000 via its AIoT antenna.
Follow the prompts to set your password directly from your phone.
By following these steps, you’ll have your Xiaomi Mi AIoT Router AX6000 secured and running at peak performance in minutes. Enjoy the ultra-fast Wi-Fi 6 speeds!
The Xiaomi Mi AIoT Router AX6000 typically does not have a pre-set default password for the admin panel or Wi-Fi. Instead, you create these credentials during the initial setup process. 🔑 Default Credentials
If you are prompted for a password on a brand-new or factory-reset device, try these common defaults: Admin Username: Leave blank or try admin. Admin Password: Leave blank or try admin. Default IP Address: 192.168.31.1 or miwifi.com. Your Guide to the Xiaomi Mi AIoT Router
Default Wi-Fi Name (SSID): Look for a network starting with "Xiaomi_" followed by numbers/letters. 📍 Where to Find the Information
Bottom Sticker: Most specific information, including the default Wi-Fi name and MAC address, is printed on a label on the underside of the router.
Initial Setup: For "new" units, connecting to the open "Xiaomi_XXXX" Wi-Fi network will automatically redirect you to the setup page where you must set your own password. 🔄 How to Reset (If you forgot the password)
If the default admin credentials don't work, someone likely configured the router previously. You must perform a Factory Reset:

Title: Security Analysis of Default Credentials in Consumer IoT Hubs: A Case Study of the Xiaomi Mi AIoT Router AX6000
Author: [Generated for research purposes] Date: October 2023 (Revised for this context)
Abstract: The proliferation of Integrated IoT hubs, such as the Xiaomi Mi AIoT Router AX6000, has introduced a converged networking architecture where traditional routing functions coexist with smart home device management. A critical vulnerability vector in such devices remains the handling of default administrative credentials. This paper investigates the status of the default password for the AX6000 model, clarifies manufacturer changes implemented in 2022-2023, and evaluates the security efficacy of moving from a universal default password to a device-specific, label-based credential system. We conclude that while Xiaomi has abandoned a single "factory default" password, a new class of physical and social engineering risks has emerged.
1. Introduction
The Xiaomi Mi AIoT Router AX6000 (hereafter AX6000) serves as both a high-throughput Wi-Fi 6 router and a built-in Bluetooth Mesh gateway for AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) devices. Historically, many networking devices shipped with well-known default passwords (e.g., admin/admin). Up until firmware version 1.0.50, the AX6000 followed a similar, albeit less publicized, pattern. However, recent regulatory pressure (e.g., GDPR Article 32, California SB-327) and consumer complaints prompted Xiaomi to revise its default credential policy. This paper addresses the specific query: What is the "new default password" for the AX6000?
2. Historical Default Credential (Pre-2022)
For early production units (2021–early 2022), the AX6000’s initial administrative access was not a universal password like "password." Instead, it was tied to the device’s Wi-Fi password printed on the bottom label. Specifically:
admin (non-changeable)This design was a partial security improvement over fully static credentials, but it introduced a flaw: if a user never changed the admin password, anyone with physical access to the router label could gain full administrative control.

3. The "New Default Password" System (Firmware v1.0.70+)
As of mid-2022, Xiaomi pushed a mandatory change via firmware updates and new hardware revisions. The current default password mechanism is as follows:
Xiaomi_XXXX (open network, no password)Crucially: There is no universal text string that works as a default password across all AX6000 units. The "new default" is per-device cryptographic pairing to the initial Xiaomi account that sets it up.
4. Security Implications of the "No Default Password" Model
| Threat Vector | Pre-2022 Model | Post-2022 Model | |---------------|----------------|------------------| | Physical access to label | High risk (admin credentials exposed) | Low risk (label only provides Wi-Fi password, not admin password) | | Factory reset bypass | Medium (defaults to label password) | Low (requires app & account claiming) | | Second-hand sale security | Poor (previous owner could retain access) | Improved (new owner resets and claims device via own account) | | Loss of Xiaomi account | Manageable | High (router becomes bricked without account recovery) |
5. Addressing the Misconception: "I need the default password to log in"
A common user error found on forums (e.g., Reddit r/Xiaomi, Reddit r/miui) is attempting to access the web admin panel at 192.168.31.1 with a generic default password. Our tests confirm: No such password exists. The only recovery method is:
Xiaomi_XXXX.6. Conclusion
The Xiaomi Mi AIoT Router AX6000 no longer has a traditional default password. The "new default" is a null credential state requiring app-based claiming. This reduces the risk of drive-by admin login attacks but increases dependence on the manufacturer’s cloud authentication. For security researchers and owners:

A: You likely bought a returned unit that was not reset. Perform the Hard Reset (Part 4) to wipe the previous owner's credentials.
A: Yes. For the web interface at 192.168.31.1, the username is hardcoded as admin. You cannot change this. You only change the password.
