Troubleshooting

Issue	Possible Cause and Solution
I cannot access the internet.	Make sure the network cable is plugged into the Ethernet port of the modem. If your modem has multiple Ethernet ports, leave the others unplugged. Turn off your modem and wait for 5 minutes, then turn it on and have a reset. Directly connect a computer to the modem via a network cable to check if the internet is working. If not, contact your Internet service provider. Log in to the router's web management page, and go to the Network Settings to verify the internet IP address. If valid, set your primary DNS to 8.8.8.8, and secondary to 8.8.4.4. If invalid, make sure the hardware connections are connected properly or contact your Internet service provider.
My wireless devices cannot connect to the Wi-Fi.	Ensure the Wi-Fi name and password do not contain special characters during configuration. Make sure the Wi-Fi you selected and the password you entered are correct. Verify if your device is blacklisted. If yes, remove it from the blacklist to allow connection. Choose WPA2 encryption for your router to enhance compatibility. Restart both your router and device then try again.
I forget the management password or Wi-Fi password of the router.	Restore the router to factory settings, and set up a new management password or Wi-Fi password.
I cannot add the router in Xiaomi Home app.	Check if your phone has connected to the Wi-Fi of the router. Check if the selected product model is correct in Xiaomi Home app. Make sure that the settings of country or region in Xiaomi Home app is not Chinese mainland.
I have already added the router to the app, but there is still a pop-up for adding this router.	The server is changed after you alter the settings of country or region. You may: Ignore the request of adding the router. The router will not appear in the list of Xiaomi Home app, and the related functions within the app will not be available under the current settings unless you change back to the original settings of country or region. Add the router. You can use the functions of the router within the app in the current settings. However, the information on the original server will be cleared, and you need to add the router again if changing back to the original settings of country or region.
