WPS is another attack vector, and its usually on by default in most routers. So an attacker who has a lot of time can sit there and brute force the pin.

Also your network password is different from your routers admin login and password, and those are widely available. There's a lot of bs that leaves a brand new router open.

Like I learned this recently, but netgear routers let anyone connected to the network access to the router config if they use the netgear genie app on android. Plus if it's an older more common model there most likely is a published exploit for it. My critique of home users is their attitude of setting it up and never checking logs, connected users, available updates. You should periodically check that shit, devices do need some maintenance. If you're talking about the password for logging in to the router, then I wouldn't worry since the attacker would need to be connected to your network in order to access it. Unless your router allows access to it from the wan?

That would be awful. If you're referring to the WiFi password, then it entirely depends on how common the password pattern is. If everyone in your area has the same pattern, yes be worried. If it's just 1 in 100s of houses, no one will know which network would have the easy password - so it's not likely that they'll use a matching password generator to bash it.

Warning/Disclaimer: It might brick your device if you don’t understand what you’re doing. I am not responsible for any things that happened to your device or you. It will be much easier for you if you had experience with linux commands and/or flashed a router with custom firmware before.

Xiaomi Router Mini is probly one of the cheapest dual band wifi router you can get in the market and it is very powerful device for its price. Luckily for me, i purchased it for only RM60ish including shipping from china, the promotion is already expired though. First thing i realized when i got the Xiaomi Router is, it doesn’t work with Unifi due to non customizable VLAN tags on the official firmware which is expected due to I did some research before I purchase the device. Hence, I flashed it with OpenWrt. I was expecting OpenWrt to work perfectly with Xiaomi Router Mini.

However, I soon realized i was wrong. After some tinkering, I found that not only wireless AC doesn’t work (unable to get the driver working), i am unable to get Hypptv (issues with vlan tagging but only for iptv specifically, PPPoE works fine) working as well. After I failed to get it working, I tried PandoraBox as well but PandoraBox can’t even support vlan tagging correctly. I was almost ready to give up. Until i found a promising firmware by hiboyhiboyhiboy ( it is in chinese if you can read).

I've compiled my own version of Padavan firmware, you can check Files you need (to download) section for the link. It customized based on Padavan ( ). Manual Reparacion Carburador Bocar 2 Gargantas Del on this page. If you want, you can compile it from the source by following this guide ( ). Updates: 08 January 2016, I've compiled my own version of Padavan's firmware with minimum customization, with come with OpenVPN support and remapped the GPIO and some ports accordingly for Xiaomi Miwifi Mini router. It is compiled from latest commit ( ) Files you need (to download) 1. Bootloader 2.

Custom Padavan firmware For those who had experience with flashing a router this is the short version or overview of the guide. Gain access to the router console either telnet or ssh or web based console 2. Installing the custom bootloader - Breed 3. Boot into Breed, install the Padavan firmware 4. Do the basic configures and vlan taggings to get it to work with Unifi or Maxis broadband Gain access to the router console either telnet or ssh or web based console there are various ways to gain access the to console, I only show the easiest way that I found on ( ) 1. Connect to your PC to your router with ethernet cable 2.

Power on and setup the Xiaomi router until it reboots and gets IP address 192.168.31.1 3. Log-in into the router and grab the value of the stok URL parameter (for instance: '9c2428de4d17e2db7e5a6a337e6f57a3') 4. Replace the placeholder and load this URL in your browser or curl, this will start telnetd on the router. Mtd -r write breed-mt7620-xiaomi-mini.bin Bootloader 13. It should shows rebooting when the installation is complete. Boot into Breed, install the Padavan firmware 1. Download the custom Padavan firmware and unzip it (you dont need to unzip it, it is already in the extracted form) 2.

Power off your router, look for a pinhole at the back of your router, press and hold it with a pin, while holding the button in the pinhole, power on your router. Release the pinhole button when you see orange/yellow light is blinking. Open your browser (preferably Chrome) and type 192.168.1.1 into the address bar. You should be able to access the Breed web interface (in chinese but i will guide you!).

Now select the second button on the menu it should says 固件更新 9. Now you should be located at select 固件 and upload the custom Padavan firmware. It should look like this 10. Wait for the progress bar to complete, it should reboots automatically.

You might need to boot into Breed for the second time to reset the default settings for the Padavan firmware. To reset the settings, click the 5th button on the menu, the select Config 區 (公版). It should look like this click 執行 to reset the settings, vlan taggings to get it to work with Unifi & Hypptv 1. Now the router should be flashed with the the firmware, it should be accessible at 192.168.1.1 with username: admin and password: admin. Now we’re going to configure the basic internet and iptv (for unifi, if you’re using maxis broadband you need to adjust the vlan accordingly). Click Advanced Settings ->WAN 4.

WAN Connection type PPPoE 5. Under PPP VPN client setting key in your unifi account username and password 6. Under Ports Isolation and VLAN Filtering 7.

Choose IPTV STB Port: LAN2 (last LAN port counting from left to right) 9. VLAN CPU (Internet) VID 500 8. VLAN CPU IPTV VID 600 9.

VLVAN LAN2 VID 600 10. It should look something like this 11. Click apply 12. Now you should be able to access the internet and Hypptv. While the rest of the router functions pretty much self-explanatory.

I am too lazy to continue as the guide is already extremely long for my taste, There are a lot of things you can do with the Padavan firmware (google it for details) Now enjoy better network performance with highly affordable price This post has been edited by I. Just did some testing got weird results though my router is at my living room. The signal strength within the line of sight (few meters away) is about -40 dBm furthest corners away from the router at 2nd floor is about -60 ~ -65 dBm 650MB within line of sight @ 3m25s (2.4G wireless mode N) 650MB within line of sight @ 2m06s (5G wireless mode N) 650MB room at 2nd floor directly above the router @ 2m50s (2.4G wireless mode N) 5G 650MB room at 2nd floor directly above the router @ 1m54s (5G wireless mode N) the latency is stable for most places in my house (just standard double story house), except for the further corner away from the router. I have no other comparisons, but It is much better than the router (D-Link L7-N-R2000) that TM provided though. It is also much better than vanilla OpenWRT firmware. This post has been edited by I.

I am compiling my own version from the Padavan source code for security reasons so you will get the clean version of padavan's firmware with minimum modification (without the chinese addons) for the xiaomi-mini router. I probly can get it uploaded by tonight or so if there are no problem with the compile process and test runs. Updates: I've compiled my own version, everything is working fine so far, make sure you select the correct Wifi country code (just select any country with 1-13 channels) /channel otherwise it could auto selecting the channel 14 which is not supported in most countries including ours.

If you access from remote, that part is missing. If you access from 192.168.x.x or locally, the section appears. I think should be some kind of security measure.

Anyway, thanks. I was asking this question because sometimes, i get the prompt that i am already logged in from other ip. But i just wait a few minutes, then i can login again. I'm pretty sure i have logged out of the other sessions, so not sure why it keep popping up. Do you happen to see this behaviour on your router? Not sure on that.

I just add OpenVPN as I did not see the real usage for other config for my need. Probably you can try to contact the tool author. Here I share my build with the latest source (1619d13). I'm not taking any responsibility if you brick your router. I just share this for those who like to try.

Got the latest version of padavan on my router.got it swapped out for my old one.have a 8 port gigabit switch hooked up to it.wired connections are working fine and getting net as they should but for whatever reason both the 2.4 and 5ghz clients are showing 'no internet' after successfully connection. I've looked but I don't see anything I think I need to set.I'd think the wifi connections would auto bridge to the lan unless you told them different?

Did you also install breed bootloader? Notice any major improvements over the Xiomi Mi mini? Youtube reviews seem to indicate more flash and 4 antennas but folks didn't notice a big difference in coverage area although it might handle more simultaneous users at once. Primary Rom is chinese only or at least it was on May 26th when reviewed so Padavan in english would be a good step up.of course you lose the mi wifi app (which IS in english.go figure).

In russian, but should be understandable to follow let me know if you need clarification on any part basically: 1. Install developer firmware so ssh can be enabled 2. Setup VM for linux (if you already have linux machine, then use that instead. And doesn't have to be vmware workstation, can use others instead like virtualbox) 3. Download and run prometheus 4. Gain ssh access on router (if this doesn't work, use the steps i gave previously) 5.

Prometheus to pull source from padavan 6. Build toolchain (only needed once, unless there's any update on toolchain source code) 7. Configure and build firmware 8. Flash firmware. Not using breed bootloader, prometheus installed u-boot instead i'm using mi-mini and mi-3 at 2 different houses, so can't compare them side by side.

But mi-3 replaces tp-link tl-wr1043nd v1, and coverage is much better for 2.4GHz network. I don't really use the available flash space for anything else, so no comment on that part previous build, nope latest (cc58fc3), yes i've removed QoS since its unsupported and can't be configured from webgui config file used to build the firmware is also there on my google drive for reference. I guess I'm going to have to get familiar with prometheus assuming you used that also for the MI-3 to build padavan unless you are releasing the version for that also? I ordered one but will take about a month to get to me. I've read posts that say the MI-3 both does and does not come with an english rom installed. Which was it for you originally?

As for qos.since the user has to disable hardware nat for it to work why not implement the folder with the needed scripts but default them to not run (leave out the lines that actually execute the qos on startup).then the user has the option for either. Personally I don't need qos so badly I'm giving up hardware nat.I do wish I could prioritize my obihai obi200 voip traffic.I can isolate it to a specific mac or ip address which is static.even isolate it to a specific PORT on the router if I use some of the op's instructions but still don't see a way to prioritize it.

I'm trying to mount some smb shares from my freenas server. Any idea what I need to do to make owncloud recognize it? Running the command via ssh still shows '-sh: smbclient: not found' I verified that the config has: ### Include CIFS (SMB) client. ~0.2MB CONFIG_FIRMWARE_INCLUDE_CIFS=y *update* Solved.

I'm building both mi-mini and mi-3 so I'd still like to know where I put the file named 'config' as I have config.sh and some others in the configs dir but none that just say 'config'. I think I found my problem with prometheus.I couldn't even get the toolchain compiled because I was working from NAS storage.had to pull the source to a local hd (I use linux mint all the time so no VM). Thanks for your patience and assistance! *update* Ok after the toolchain finally built (it was a permissions issue with the nas) I was able to see where to put your config. Is the skin used in your builds the default one? 'Patch for the sources IS NOT VALID, building can lead to errors!

Got Padavan installed onto my MI-3 and finally was able to compile directly on my linux machine. I'll have to upgrade my Xiaomi Mi before I swap them out. My question is this. Can I backup the 'settings' on the Xiaomi Mi wifi in padavan and then restore them in padavan on the Xiaomi Mi wifi 3?

I'd like to save haveing to redo alot of the config. *note* English speakers may want to review the steps/install here: and use it roughly for the Mi-3. You still have to download the developer version.you still have to REGISTER the router with Xiaomi via the android or iphone app.all this in preparation to download the patch which enables SSH on the router. The instructions on installing the ssh bin are rough.when they say hold the reset till you see the yellow light blink MULTIPLE TIMES thats just what it means.hold it.keep holding it.when you see multiple blinks (not just 1 blink which it does earlier) then you can let go and it will flash the ssh bin file from the usb drive. All that gets your router ready to accept firmware from the script.

On it you still have to update everything.build a toolchain (one time) then build the firmware and finally flash it. Make sure you back up your partitions.

Hope that helps someone cause it took me a LONG time to get everything squared away while trying to follow a video with the person speaking russian. This post has been edited by FameWolf: Jul 28 2016, 02:29 PM.

You have to install the current developer version (which does not have ssh) then you have to pair your router to a xiaomi account via the android app. Finally you have to download a ssh patchfile and save it to a flashdrive then hold down reset when plugging in power to router and continue to hold down until the router blinks the yellow light multiple times (not just once.it does that early and if you continue holding then it finally blinks a couple of times).

Anyone having a problem with the prometheus script? I can't get it to go beyond commit eaebfec even though several new ones show.it keeps reverting back to the eaebfec. Updating sources. Hi guys, i just got my mi 3 router and able to connect to internet wifi via mobile apps using wifi key same as SSID name.

The problem now is on the apps need to pair the router and key in pairing/admin password which I didnt know. While using the apps, I also unable to get the same screen as shown above like use the wifi key as admin password. The screen go straight away to pair the router and require to key in admin password. I try the same key as wifi key/SSID name but got wrong password. Is there any other way I can bypass and go straight away to the router config without using Apps and connectivity via wifi? Maybe all you guys can help me regarding this issue.

On yesterday night I finally find the time and guts to flash my Mi Mini router with Pavadan following the instructions from here and pavadan firmware from. I was setting the mini router as repeater (AP + WDS) on 5ghz wifi to my Xiaomi Router 3 (original firmware). The router was spacing apart with 1 wall, distance around 7-8m apart and I checked the status from pavadan the STA are linking at around 4XX-5XX Mbps which better than my powerplugs. Within 3m apart, it was link at 7XXMbps which extreme good for me.

Overall I'm very happy with it, however problem seem getting from Xiaomi Router 3 which whenever I reboot Mi3 the wifi channel run even I have set it on fix channel. Thus is break the link to the repeater. So now, I'm thinking to flash my Mi3 (router 3) with pavadan. Being a newbie to this, I want to know if anyone have build the firmware for Mi3 for sharing here? I'm not very good with linux and prometheus, worry that I screw up my Mi3.

Being a newbie to this, I want to know if anyone have build the firmware for Mi3 for sharing here? I'm not very good with linux and prometheus, worry that I screw up my Mi3. I did alot of research on it before I flashed the MI-3 which I use right now as my primary router. I did alot of research on it before I flashed the MI-3 which I use right now as my primary router. Well now that it's on padavan and being upgraded yeah.not sure I'd let their factory firmware have access to the net given reports some of it's developer factory xiaomi versions phoned home. The only time it would be down is the actual writing and that takes no more than a minute with about an additional 20 seconds for the router to reboot itself. Be aware however that the padavan software does NOT include QOS because QOS and hardware NAT are mutually exclusive.if you NEED QOS then you have to disable hardware NAT and then configure some script to setup QOS because the gui won't do it.

The cpu in the router is easily powerful enough to do it without issue.I just personally chose to keep the hardware nat going. Then I recall must use ssh, and from there I manage to access to the router via ssh at 192.168.31.1. From here onward, I switch to running on linux mint and follow the code:- Linux system: 1.

Open a terminal; 2. Download the script by typing: the wget -O start.sh start-99.sh 3.

Enter: the chmod + x start.sh 4. Run the script and follow the instructions in the terminal:./start.sh Once the scripts started, it download a bunch of files from the net. I have saw an error half way, it mentions my internet was too slow (something like that) then I could only see header of Prometheus. So I start again with./start.sh. It run again but this time go further and I'm at the Prometheus menu. Following the nos, I key in (1) to check ssh access to MI-3 router Then (2) and (3). I been waiting more approx 2 hrs for it to build the toolchain now.still building with command from scripts keep flashing on the screen...

Not sure I should start worry. (note: internet still running on Mi-3 router) edit: After 2hrs+ only manage to reach build firmware to configure options and skins. Now build firmware. This post has been edited by muncheno: Oct 11 2016, 10:17 PM. Update here, I'm flashing my MI-3 to pavadan with Prometheus scripts with Linux Mint on my old netbook. What I did is follow the instructions given to ssh to MI-3 router. This is referring to flashing developer firmware 2.11.20 then; flashing miwifi_ssh.bin with reset button; and I was using putty.exe to telnet instead ssh, somehow it is mistake here.

Not knowing at the time, I did using these method below as well Then I recall must use ssh, and from there I manage to access to the router via ssh at 192.168.31.1. From here onward, I switch to running on linux mint and follow the code:- Linux system: 1.

(note: internet still running on Mi-3 router) edit: After 2hrs+ only manage to reach build firmware to configure options and skins.

Now build firmware. Option 2) Login to router with a browser After login observe and address.

It should generate code like below:- hXXp://192.168.31.1/cgi-bin/luci/;stok=2ca162de9aa42e55e30c8f9fe35031c4/web/home#router Copy the code after stok=. Example:- 0b5ff8b6fb80c457759ad92f468003d5 This is like a temporary pass for access your bootloader. Then the 4 url’s below is used to set password for ssh and activate the ssh service. Change the key word with your string that just copy.

Example hXXp://192.168.31.1/cgi-bin/luci/;stok= /api/xqsystem/set_name_password?oldPwd=&newPwd= to hXXp://192.168.31.1/cgi-bin/luci/;stok= 0b5ff8b6fb80c457759ad92f468003d5/api/xqsystem/set_name_password?oldPwd=&newPwd= Here are the 4 url's:- 3) SSH to the device to flash OpenWrt, I was using putty.exe (google for it if you don't have it ready) Open a SSH connection to root@192.168.31.1 or maybe 192.168.1.1 Login using credentials provided by the SSH download website in step 2-option 1, OR with the username 'root' and 'password' create in step 2 - option 2. 4) Confirm login in to ssh is sucessful. (I guess you should not reboot your router from here, else I think you need repeat step 2 &3. 5) 2 approaches here again, Linux or Windows. Goto hXXp://prometheus.freize.net to download and read the steps. Setup VM for linux (if you already have linux machine, then use that instead. And doesn't have to be vmware 2.

Workstation, can use others instead like virtualbox) 3. Download and run prometheus 4. Gain ssh access on router (if this doesn't work, use the steps i gave previously) 5.

Prometheus to pull source from padavan 6. Build toolchain (only needed once, unless there's any update on toolchain source code) 7.

Configure and build firmware 8. Flash firmware This post has been edited by muncheno: Oct 13 2016, 05:07 PM. Thanks alot for the instructions! However I've tried just now and failed. For step 2) I did like you instructed with all the 4 Urls, all 4 just showed some error code.

The NEWPASS and OLDPASS I just put the password of the router control panel admin login. Am I doing it right?

When I used Putty.exe somehow I get to be connected without any error message. What do you mean by 'SSH to the device to flash OpenWrt'? On Step 5) I don't really get it, so I followed the instructions on this site to use the VMware. After that it's just bunch of data in russian (or other language) on the VMware that's being going on for more than 1 hour, till I gave up waiting. Can you help me pls?

I'm happy to report i got this working with the guide. Just for others who might be as noob as me. - Mi Router 3 must have access to internet to be able to download prometheus. - the linux command by muncheno might be wrong. Head to prometheus.freize.net to check the command. The translated command and non-translated command are different. Regardless, i had error using linux method (see the post above this).

- i use vmware with prometheus (method 2) to get mine to work. *edit reason - rearrange phrase only This post has been edited by kcchong: Oct 17 2016, 10:13 PM. Hi infrasonic, first disclaimer here - I not expect here and it is own your own risk.

It doesn't necessary to have the Mi-3 or Mi Mini router as default router to connect to internet. In your case if you can't have vlan tagging, it is possible configure your mi router as 2nd router by having lan cable bridging it (and disable DHCP & having a static ip). If you were following the instructions within this thread or from prometheus, VM or linux approached only using internet to updates is source and files. For Mi Mini, you should follows instructions in first post. You do not need connect Mi Mini to internet, but you must be in correct developer firmware to ensure able to get access with SSH. Then only flash the breed bootloader.

I pressume you stuck at step 7. I also pressume you have your usb drive with FAT or FAT32. If you can't access to 'cd /extdisks/sda1/' can try 'cd /mnt/sda1/'. If still fails, try look for it by learning linux command like 'ls -al /mnt' Installing the custom bootloader - Breed 1. Now i assuming you have access to your router console/telnet/ssh. This is the risky part, proceed with extreme caution as a broken bootloader could brick your router, the only way for you to revive the router would be 3. Physically wire the TTL connection to rewrite the bootloader.

Download Breed for Xiaomi router mini (. Copy it to the root directory of a usb thumb drive (1GB free space is more than enough) with FAT/FAT32 partition. Plug the thumb drive into the router. At the console, type.

Just to quick check here. Anyone here configure their router as VPN server? I have try configure as VPN server and DDNS using no-ip.com and I'm using Time Dot Com for my router and phone using celcom.

On the router setup, enable VPN server - PPTP, MS-CHAP-V2, MPPE-128, No - broadcast traffic. Then user setup to local ip to 192.168.1.245-192.168.1.254 Some how I can't connect from the client, from my android phone to my router via. Celcom ->Mi-Mini Router (no-ip.com ddns). I also have try with direct ip addresss. I managed to configure my main router Mi-Mini to allow ftp, sftp, ssh, smb and also port forwarding to another Mi-3 router and android box with both running ftp, sftp, ssh and smb too. No problem accessing them from internet (from phone or office wifi) including web gui from my Mi-3 router.

Dunno why it fail for VPN server. Any expert here can help? This post has been edited by muncheno: Oct 18 2016, 10:50 AM.

There were a bunch of them.I ended up recompiling today.some may address your issue. Previously 09/24 was last commits showing so 10/16 onward were new and pushed in last couple of days. You can also monitor the open issues to see if your issue has been reported or open a new one. Keep in mind he provides ZERO support for the xiaomi version however if it's a general padavan issue he'd probably still address it. The padavan author is NOT the same person who wrote the prometheus script however the prometheus author DID have permission from the padavan author to do so.

Thanks for replying. I didn't follow the commits because earlier I have read some of the commits before and he have mentions many times, if others than the designated devices he is not supporting. You are compiling the router firmware on your own? Are you following strictly to these instructions? Edit: Got the answer, you recompiling it with Prometheus scripts.

Once your Mi-3 is already with Padavan, it is okay to flash.trx compiled for Mi-3. I have tested the Mi-3 padavan firmware from with build version aef4269.

Hello guys, first of all I would like to thank to I. Yes - You can flash without backup the partition. Of coz on your own risk to do so. As for the configuration, answering direct from my memory here, you should follow the steps:- Option(0) to check if the script can ssh to your router Option (1) to update the script Option (2) to update the source Option (3) to build toolchain (this will take ages - many hours) Then Option (4) related to firmware. Once you are in, the sub-menu options available to:- -configure - simple mode or by editing (notepad styles - disable and enable option with '#') -select skin -update source again (no need if you already done so) Then the same sub-menu would allow you to:- - build the firmware (this will take ages - many hours) - and lastly flash the firmware. Hope this help. Yes - You can flash without backup the partition.

Hope this help. I stuck at the install the Breed step. I did do everything with this final instruction 'mtd -r write breed-mt7620-xiaomi-mini.bin Bootloader' and it show Writing from breed-mt7620-xiaomi-mini.bin to Bootloader. And also downloaded the Padavan firmware but I'm not able to get 'power off your router, look for a pinhole on the back, power on your router while pressing and holding the button inside the pinhole;' But I didn't see any orange/yellow light blinking, I just see the blue light blinking.

Even I try to restart the router without doing the pinhole, I still able to get into the XiaoMi router page which is 192.168.31.1 This post has been edited by jianwei87: Nov 14 2016, 12:39 AM.

Secondly not sure I could understand your feedback here as I do not exactly which steps you are in. Very confuses for someone who read your post with a short note not knowing which steps First you inform that you already flashed the Breed bootloader. Then you now you can't access SSH anymore. If you can't get into Breed bootloader and you also can't access via SSH. I could only advice you to start over or ask someone else to help.

I'm not an expect here, I 'm just help with my experience I did on my Mi routers and share here. I stuck at the install the Breed step.

There are some people complain on 5G wifi signal suddenly will disappear even in a very close distance and the download speed measure on 2.4G or 5G is not quite fast compare with other different brand of router.

It was suspect due to the original firmware have flaw or not stable. I haven't got my self the device yet, still considering to get the mini version or the latest router 3 version, so does any of the above happen to you before Padavan was flash? While after Padavan flash any of those happened?
