Xiaomi Mi Wi-Fi Router 3G Router Review
In appearance - the usual increased (due to non-removable antennas) packaging.
Xiaomi 3G router: it comes with a power adapter and instructions
LAN and WAN interfaces are separated from each other by one of the antennas - just like USB port from all Ethernet ports.
Ethernet / USB sockets are located between the antennas of the router
Like Xiaomi Router 3/Mini, Xiaomi Router 3G has only one blue LED.
One LED - a proprietary feature of the indication of Xiaomi routers
Nothing superfluous: on the side of the Xiaomi 3G router there are no buttons or switches.
There are no physical controls on the Router 3G
On a closer look: indication of the exchange of Ethernet traffic in the field (by a pair of LEDs). There is a reset button (small hole on the left).
Ethernet indication is more diverse than similar one on Xiaomi Router 3
The ventilation in the Xiaomi Router 3G, like that of its counterparts, is almost perfect: the bottom surface of the case is a sieve with long holes.
Xiaomi 3G router is well ventilated during operation
The adapter is standard - for American sockets. An adapter for euro sockets is purchased separately.
Router plug adapter not included
Externally, Xiaomi 3(G) routers are indistinguishable: it gives out only the number of Ethernet ports (Router 3 has two) and the color of the USB port.
Differences are only visible when viewed from behind.
The general indication of the operation of Ethernet ports for Xiaomi 3 and the presence of an indication of the exchange of traffic over Ethernet for Xiaomi 3G.
Differences are also visible on the LAN / WAN display of both routers
Xiaomi Router 3G is slightly more compact than Router 3. It is also easy to hang it on the wall by drilling a couple of elongated holes in order to install the case on pre-attached screws (there is more than enough space inside). Printed circuit board with a radiator is located as compactly as possible, leaving room for cooling the device during operation.
The radiator is massive and removes heat well
Under the radiator are the processor, RAM, Wi-Fi radio subsystem (excluding output stages for amplifying the signal to the antenna) and flash memory. Ethernet chips do not need additional cooling. It is possible to install inside a pair of miniature fans from a non-working PC or laptop.
Leading Xiaomi 3G chips are hidden under the heatsink
The MediaTek-7621AT processor will "pull" up to 4 LAN ports - but this is already the prerogative of Xiaomi Router Pro (in the future - and higher models when they are released).
Before the MT-7621AT processor reaches its end of life - before the MediaTek-7621x CPU range (MT-76xx processor family) is updated - the new versions of Xiaomi Router will still prove themselves.
Table: characteristics of the Xiaomi Router 3G router
| Parameter or characteristic | Value (tolerance) |
| CPU | SoC MediaTek MT7621AT (MIPS32 1004K, 2*880 MHz) |
| RAM | 256 MB (DDR-2) |

Video: review of the Xiaomi 3G router
Setting up a Xiaomi 3G router using the MiWiFi program
Beginners generally start setting up Xiaomi Router 3G not with third-party Padavan or DD-WRT firmware ( full version OpenWRT), namely from the MiWiFi application.
The configuration of the Xiaomi Router line of routers is simplified: Router 3G is not much different from its predecessors - the Mini and 3 models. For the convenience of users, all commands in the instructions have been translated from Chinese into English / Russian.
Connecting to a Xiaomi 3G router from a PC or laptop
After the first power on (or reset), the Xiaomi 3G router will turn on an open wireless network"Xiaomi_(device_marking)". Connect to it from a PC, laptop or tablet, type mifiwi.com in the address bar of your browser.
Select Xiaomi 3G network
Now do the following.
- Accept the agreement with Xiaomi and click "Next".
Confirm that you agree with the Xiaomi PM
- Secure your Wi-Fi network by entering a new name (you don't have to change it) and a WPA-2 password.
Assign a strong, tamper-resistant wireless network password
- For the greatest security, enter a different password from the router's web interface.
- Wait for the restart WiFi networks on a Xiaomi 3G router.
Please wait, the router will now restart
The router is ready for further configuration.
Connect to the router with the new Wi-Fi password
Reconnect to the Xiaomi Router 3G network already with a new password.
Changing the firmware language of the Xiaomi 3G router
In some cases, when you connect the provider's cable, Internet access may already be enabled, so you can use Google translator to facilitate the settings.
- Go back to miwifi.com and enter the router settings.
Enter your Admin password
- Click the Routing Status tab.
Status of a working Xiaomi Router 3G router
- Give the command "General settings - System status". Download the English version of the Xiaomi Router 3G software.
You can easily change the Chinese version of Xiaomi 3G to English
- Press the gray button - "Update manually". Select a folder on your PC to save the Xiaomi 3G firmware file, wait for this update to download.
- Select English in Xiaomi Router 3G software settings.
To get started, select English language
- Enter the router settings again (using your username and password) and give the command "Status - Connected devices".
The router also reports available Wi-Fi 5GHz devices
- Give the command "Internet" - "Test (more)". The internet speed will be tested.
The router will report the Internet speed and IP connection settings
- Write down (or take a screenshot of) all IP addresses. They will come in handy when reconfiguring the router.
Advanced Wi-Fi settings for Xiaomi Router 3G
Do the following.
Xiaomi Router 3G LAN setup
The general configuration of the local router is performed only when the Internet is turned off. If the router auto-logout occurs, temporarily disconnect the provider's cable.
For example, the primary IP is 192.168.0.1 and the DHCP range is 192.168.0.(100-200).
Setting up network sharing for Xiaomi Router 3G
Do the following.
Xiaomi Router 3G Security Fine Tuning
If malware has “flyed” into the router or your passwords have become known to everyone around, change them.
Reset, restore settings and update Xiaomi Router 3G
Resetting the settings may reset the language of the web interface to its Chinese version. Use Xiaomi 3G reset in case of emergency.
Working with disks and modems on a Xiaomi 3G router
Xiaomi Router 3 USB port supports USB drives and 3G/4G modems. By changing the firmware to freely distributed software that is universal for routers of many brands and models (OpenWRT Pro and its analogues), you may get the functionality of printers, scanners, copiers and other office equipment controlled via USB.
Of particular interest is the operation of the router as a separate gadget / router with interface converters USB-RS485, C2000-USB and other microcontrollers - via a local network, for example, control of a fire alarm or front entrance turnstiles in a protected area. The last of the above may require programming skills - at least minimal - to change part of the program code of Xiaomi routers (before updating). You may also need to reprogram (or at least update the firmware) the USB converter itself.
Do the following.
- Connect external drive, for example, an SSD drive, give the "Storage" command.
You can download applications directly from here
- Download from Google play app WiFi.
Open MiWiFi app after download
- Register on miwifi.com and launch the MiWiFi app. Click the "Set up a new router" button.
Opening storage will send you to the contents of the flash drive or SSD drive
The "Organize", "Upload", "Upload", "Mark" and "Back" buttons are the main actions with files when managing them with Xiaomi devices Router 3G. When a file (file group, folder or folder group) is selected, the Copy, Delete, Rename, Move and Deselect functions are activated.
Possibilities of alternative firmware
Third-party firmware is free software "OpenWRT", "Padavan", as well as firmware from Asus, ZyXEL, D-Link, TP-Link, Tenda and other routers, edited through special compiler applications. Free software is extensively tested for compatibility with routers both known and recently released to the market network equipment manufacturers.
Setting up Xiaomi 3G to work with a USB modem in Padavan software
Before working with the Padavan firmware, you need to install it instead of the proprietary "stripped down" DD-WRT (or "native" from Xiaomi).
Xiaomi 3G firmware using Prometheus utility
The Prometheus program is available at prometheus.freize.net.
- Launch the Prometheus app and select the Mi-R3G router (follow the instructions in the Prometheus command console).
Preliminary processing source files for new Padavan firmware
- Work out the action under the letter S (open script settings). Specify the IP, login and password from the SSH host of the router.
- Work out step 4 (preparing the firmware), then step 3 (assembling the firmware).
Before starting the firmware, the software must be processed by the Xiaomi 3G code
Initiate step 4 (router firmware). Xiaomi Router 3G will be updated and restarted.
Padavan settings are all in Russian and even more diverse than in MiRouter
New IP - 192.168.1.1 (Asus-RT program settings).
3G/4G settings in Padavan Asus-RT on Xiaomi 3G routers
Setting up a 4G modem in the Xiaomi-Asus-RT (Padavan) firmware is not much different from similar actions in the “clean” Asus firmware. In fact, Padavan is a transplant of the Asus web interface to the source code of Xiaomi routers.
The Xiaomi 3G router will restart. You can configure Wi-Fi and LAN routing - similarly, it is configured in routers Asus-RT(refer to the manual of any of the models of this line) - and use the Internet from your cellular provider.
Xiaomi routers are easy to set up. This ease of operation has not bypassed the cutting-edge Xiaomi 3G model. With Xiaomi 3G routers, you will have access to almost any of the tariffs known today from any of the providers. Excellent Internet speed to you - and comfortable work!
The topic of Xiaomi Mi Router firmware is very relevant for several reasons. The main thing is that its entire interface is in Chinese without any alternative. Therefore, in order to more or less understand what is written in the stock firmware, you need to install an additional translation extension in the browser. You can use it, but it's inconvenient. It would seem, why these troubles? Buy yourself another router with Russian localization and use it. But the low cost captivates with high technical indicators and functionality of the router. Analogues from other manufacturers sold here cost a thousand or more rubles more.
What are the options?
It is impossible to constantly use the Chinese version, as you understand. Therefore, I decided to make this guide, in which I will talk about two possibilities for router firmware:
- to official English
- For Padavan or Asus version
This instruction is suitable for all models with a USB port - the Xiaomi Mi Router 3 firmware is exactly the same as the Mini.
The official firmware of the Xiaomi Mi WiFi 3 router in English
So - how to translate Xiaomi Router 3 into English and no longer bother with the constant with these endless spiders.
The procedure is simple:
- Download Xiaomi English Firmware
- Upload it to the router
- Reconfigure already in the English version
Firmware for Xiaomi Mi WiFi Router from Padavan for Asus
Another Chinese language solution in the control panel is to install a custom version of the firmware on the Xiaomi router. The most successful today is the Padavan firmware, or as it is also called from Asus by the name of the company for which it was originally made. The installation process is not the easiest, but if everything is done correctly, it will turn out without problems if you know at least a little how to use a computer. Therefore, in this article I tried to describe in as much detail as possible the entire process of updating the router software using the example of the Xiaomi Mini model for your convenience.
To achieve the final result, we need to flash Xiaomi Mi Router several times:
- Install original XiaoMi developer firmware
- Install Pandora Firmware
- Install Asus Firmware
Firmware for developers
Let's start. First of all, go to the Xiaomi download page in the "ROM" tab and download the "ROM for" package for your model (Mini, 3, 3C, 3G, etc.) from the right column - this is the official version of the software for developers. With its help, we can manage the deep firmware of the router.
Next, go to the admin panel of the router at the address, in the section "General settings> System status" and select the downloaded file for firmware. In my screenshots you will see the translated interface pages through the built-in Chrome Google translator - this is the most convenient way to use the stock firmware. For your convenience, use cable connection computer to the Xiaomi router - you will not need to reconnect to it every time you reboot.
The router is being flashed - at this time it cannot be turned off from the power supply.
Download the necessary files and programs
After rebooting the router, we again configure it to connect to the Internet from your provider and go to the Router Club repository, where craftsmen regularly upload fresh Padavan firmware and not only to several different routers. Scroll down the page and go to the folder with the latest date.
In this folder we find another one - xrm_base, it contains the necessary firmware from Asus, download it to our computer.
AT personal account Xiaomi Mi Router we find your account number - it is to the right of the menu next to the profile photo.
Everyone's login will be "root" - the password is individual.
We click on the button with hieroglyphs to the right of the password and then again in the pop-up window, also the right button - and download the file for connecting via SSH protocol to Xiaomi Mi Router.
It must be placed on a clean, FAT32-formatted USB flash drive with a size of 4 to 8 GB.
And finally, the last thing is to download the software package from our repository for Asus firmware.
Firmware from Pandora
Let's get down to the actual firmware. We take out the power cable from our router, take a USB flash drive and insert it into the USB connector on the Xiaomi router.
Next, we pinch the “Reset” button with a pin and insert the power cable. Waiting for the LED to flash yellow and release the "Reset" button. If everything is normal, then the LED will change color to blue. If it turns red, then repeat all the manipulations with the flash drive and router from the beginning.
After that, we run the hfs.exe program from the same archive and add the PandoraBox.bin file to it. it virtual server, which we run on a computer and from which we will upload the firmware to the router.
The next step is to run the putty.exe program from the same archive - this is an SSH client that will allow you to connect to Xiaomi's "innards". We drive in the IP address of the router - 192.168.31.1. Leave the rest of the values as they are and click the "Open" button.
A new dialog box will open, where we will first be asked to enter the username and password from the router - we recall the information that we received in our account on the Xiaomi website. Login - "root"
and the password is the one that the site gave you. When entering a password, characters will not be displayed, so make no mistake. Upon successful connection, a greeting from the Chinese will appear.
Next, enter the command " cd /tmp" - to get into the folder with the temporary files of the router.
After that, we give the command " wget LINK_TO_FILE_FROM_HFS_PROGRAM.EXE". In my case it looks like "wget http://192.168.151.1/PandoraBox.bin"
Next, you need to determine where exactly in your particular device to install the firmware. This is done by the command cat /proc/mtd". After it, a list will appear in which you need to find one of the values \u200b\u200b- "firmware", "OS1" or "FirmwareStub". There will be exactly one of them, which we will use. I rolled "OS1"
Now we execute the command that will flash our router for the version from Pandora:
mtd -r write /tmp/PandoraBox.bin OS1
Instead of OS1, as you understand, you can have firmware or FirmwareStub
The router will start flashing, after which it will reboot.
Xiaomi firmware from Asus (Padavan)
Now that Pandora has rolled up, we launch HFS.EXE again and similarly add the Asus firmware file to it - the one that was downloaded at the very beginning from the RouterClub repository.
Downloaded. Now we restart the PUTTY.EXE program again and connect again to the router, now using the new IP, which is set in new firmware — 192.168.1.1
Here we need to log in again, for this we use the login “root”, the password is “admin”.
Next, go back to the directory with the command " cd /tmp"And fill it with the firmware file from Padavan - Asus -" wget http://192.168.1.151/FILE_NAME.trx"- again we take the link from the HFS program.
After that, we roll the firmware with the command " mtd -r write /tmp/FILE_NAME.trx firmware"- pay attention, here we already use the "firmware" command at the end
And we are waiting for the router to reboot, after which we type its IP in the browser - 192.168.1.1, through which we will get to the admin panel. For authorization, we use a pair of login-password admin-admin. To connect to the router via WiFi to the Router Club network, use the password "1234567890".
The reward of our long labors will be a new admin panel with many additional features, which was not in the stock firmware. For example, the function of connecting mobile modems and distributing guest wifi networks at a frequency of 5 GHz, and this is only the very, very minimum of the changes that have occurred.
I hope everything worked out for you too!
For greater clarity, I give two video guides that show the whole process step by step. By the way, installing Podovan firmware on Xiaomi Mi Wi-Fi Router 3 and 3G is different from Mini - pay attention to this!
Padavan for Mi Router 3/3G
For Xiaomi Mini
How to return the official firmware to Xiaomi Mi Router 3?
I used the Xiaomi router for a long time on different firmware, but for many blog readers the process of installing a third-party version of the software is too complicated, so more often I still get questions about how to work with Xiaomi routers in a regular official version admins. Therefore, I decided to return everything back and roll back the device to the original Chinese version in order to create a series of articles about setting up a router, as they say, “out of the box”.
Of course, I will share with you my experience on how to roll back from custom firmware to the official Xiaomi.
So, for starters, let's go to for Xiaomi routers. Here, too, everything will be in Chinese, so for the last time we will use the browser-based translator built into Google Chrome.
After the page is readable, switch to the "ROM" tab to display a list of routers that have firmware.
We find our model in it and download any of the two presented versions of the software - Stable or Developer
The file will have some name - we will rename it to
Then we drop the miwifi.bin firmware file onto it - to the very root and so that there is nothing else on it.
- disconnect the router from the power cable
- insert the flash drive into its USB port
- press the reset button
- and simultaneously with the button pressed, connect the power cord back
- after 5-10 seconds, when the orange light flashes, release the reset button
I recently purchased an excellent Xiaomi Mini router. For its $25 it has a processor with clock frequency 600MHz and 128Mb random access memory, USB 2.0 port, two lan ports, 2.4 and 5GHz Wifi.
In short, for the money this is the best router on the market. this moment.
But as it happens, it was not without a fly in the ointment. And in the case of Xiaomi Mini, this is the firmware.
Previously, he did not speak Russian at all. China is working and at the moment there is an English-language interface, which is already very, very good. But here, using DHCP with a cloned poppy address, it never connected to my network. Don't worry, let's go!
The network offers two firmware for this router.
1 - Pandora Box. This is a modified openwrt, it's good for those who understand what they are doing, have experience with Linux and want to work with a file.
2 - Modified ASUS firmware by Padovan. Everything is much simpler and more user-friendly here, but you can’t install packages separately.
I decided to flash with a patch from Padovan. For strange reasons, this firmware is not allowed to be distributed in assembled form. So you have to assemble yourself. For this there is bash script- PROMETHEUS.
So, turn on the router (it is better to connect it to the old router in order to accurately connect to the Internet, this is a prerequisite for completing the setup) and configure using Xiaomi apps or through a browser at 192.168.31.1 .
After that, register a Xiaomi account. It's better to do it through facebook, I never received a letter in the mail.
Xiaomi Mini stock firmware does not allow you to connect to the router via SSH. This can be fixed by updating to the developer firmware.
We go to the Xiaomi website and download the firmware here http://www1.miwifi.com/miwifi_download.html. Don't forget to switch to the ROM tab.
If you have a Chinese interface, you can navigate by screenshots or install Chrome (it will translate everything).
During the firmware, the router will reboot and the orange LED will flash, and the blue LED will turn on when finished.
Now let's unblock ssh. Go to court https://d.miwifi.com/rom/ssh and download miwifi_ssh.bin file
Here we remember the root password.
We put the firmware on a flash drive (preferably a smaller one), insert it into the turned off router, hold down the Reset button with something thin and turn it on, wait until the orange LED starts blinking, you can let it go. Wait until it turns blue. Ready.
Now we take an ssh client, for example, Putty (if you have Linux, you don’t need anything at all).
We are trying to connect to the address of the router.
Now you need to build the firmware. This requires debian. like linux. I did it on ubuntu. If you don't have Linux handy, a virtual machine will do.
To start working with the PROMETHEUS script, run the following commands.
Wget -O start.sh http://prometheus.freize.net/script/start-99.sh chmod +x start.sh ./start.sh
The script will install the packages needed for assembly and download the firmware sources.
We will collect with a standard config. If you have difficulty understanding what is happening, do the same.
PROMETHEUS is controlled by pressing keys.
After the download of the sources is complete, the script will prompt you to select the config, select mi-mini (I have 1).
First, we assemble the compiler and a set of utilities for building the firmware (toolchain) - press 3.
We smoke.
Now we collect the firmware itself - firmware. My key is 4 then 3 (Build firware).
We smoke.
Click Flash firmware (4). Here you need to set up an ssh connection. We indicate the login and password that we remembered when downloading the firmware from the xiaomi website.
Instructions for beginners, like me, who have encountered difficulties when flashing the router Mi WiFi 3 Xiaomi Mi-router 3. There are several firmware videos on the network, and there is also a whole forum thread dedicated to this router w3bsit3-dns.com
