Frequently Asked Questions - AX1500 Xiaomi

How to install my Xiaomi AX1500 router?

Plug the router into a power outlet and connect the Ethernet cable from the modem to the WAN port. Download the Mi WiFi app on your smartphone, create a Xiaomi account, and follow the on-screen instructions to set up the network.

How to configure the WiFi network?

Open the Mi WiFi app or access the web interface via 192.168.31.1. In the WiFi settings, you can change the network name (SSID) and password. Choose WPA2-PSK or WPA3 security mode for better protection.

What if the app does not detect the router?

Check that your smartphone is connected to the router's WiFi network (the default name is often 'Xiaomi_XXXX'). Make sure the router is powered on and the Ethernet cable is properly connected. Restart the router and relaunch the app. If the problem persists, reset the router by holding the Reset button for 5 seconds.

How to change the WiFi password?

Log in to the admin interface via the Mi WiFi app or web browser (192.168.31.1). Go to 'WiFi Settings' and change the 'Password' field. Confirm by clicking 'Save'. The network will restart with the new password.

How to update the firmware?

The Mi WiFi app automatically checks for updates. You can also go to 'Settings' > 'Firmware Update' to manually check. Download and install the proposed version. Do not cut the power during the update.

How to reset the Xiaomi AX1500 router?

Use a paperclip or a pointed object to press the Reset button on the back of the router. Hold it down for about 5 seconds until the lights blink. The router will restart with factory settings.

How to set up parental controls?

In the Mi WiFi app, go to 'Parental Controls'. You can add devices to the blacklist, limit access times, or block certain websites. Create a profile for each child and set custom rules.

The router is overheating, is this normal?

The router may get slightly warm during normal operation, especially during heavy use. Make sure it is placed in a well-ventilated area, away from heat sources. If the temperature becomes excessive to the touch, turn it off and check the vents. Continuous overheating may reduce its lifespan.

How to extend the network with another router?

You can configure the Xiaomi AX1500 in repeater mode or use another router in bridge mode. In the Mi WiFi app, go to 'Settings' > 'Operating Mode' and select 'WiFi Repeater'. Follow the instructions to connect the router to an existing network.

What is the difference between the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands?

The 2.4 GHz band offers better range and penetrates obstacles better, but is more prone to interference and has lower speed. The 5 GHz band offers higher speed and less interference, but its range is shorter. The router automatically selects the best band based on the device's location.
