A Xiaomi router running MiWiFi connects to Bebra over PPTP, the one protocol its client and Bebra’s router servers have in common. For a Samsung or LG TV that’s the simplest option. There’s no Bebra app for those sets, but behind the router they go online with the rest of your network.
Updated
Start with the TV
- Samsung, LG or another TV without Android TV. There’s no Bebra app for it, so use the router. The setup is below.
- Android TV 10 or later, set-top boxes included. The router is optional here, since the app installs on the TV itself from an APK file.
- Apple TV. Get the same App Store app you’d use on an iPhone.
Setting it up in MiWiFi
Copy a server IP
In your Bebra dashboard, open Router → Other routers and click Get router settings. Pick a country in the server list and copy its IP. The router login and password are on the same tab.
Open the VPN section
Sign in to the MiWiFi panel at miwifi.com or 192.168.31.1. On a mesh system, do this on the node your provider’s cable goes into. Then go to Advanced → VPN and click Add service.
Fill in the service
Give it any Name. The country name is handy. Choose PPTP in Protocol type, paste the copied IP into Server, and take the Username and Password from the same dashboard tab. Save the service.
Connect
Click Connect on the service’s row and wait for Connected. Then turn on Connect automatically when the device is on, below the list, so the router brings the connection up by itself every time it starts.
Several countries, and a fallback
The MiWiFi service list can take another entry for a second country, with the IP of a server there. The login and password are the same for every server. To switch countries, click Disconnect on the current service and Connect on the other one.
PPTP is the less secure of Bebra’s two router protocols, and some internet providers block it. If none of your services will connect, an Android TV can still run the Bebra app itself. A Samsung or LG set would need a different router that runs our app.

Xiaomi questions
Do I need to install anything on the TV?
No. A TV on this router’s Wi-Fi or plugged in by cable goes through Bebra like every other device on the network.
How many devices can go through the router?
As many as the Xiaomi itself can handle. To Bebra the router is a single connection on one login, and everything on its network goes online through it. The apps on your phone and computer run separately on the same subscription, with no device limit either.
How can I check that the TV goes through Bebra?
In the TV’s browser, open a site that shows your IP and country. It should show the country of the service connected in MiWiFi. If the TV has no browser, run the same check from a phone on this Wi-Fi.
