How to Change Newifi3 D2 Stock Firmware from Chinese to English

This guide changes the interface from Chinese to English (you can translate it to Vietnamese yourself 🤣). It is for users who like the stock firmware but do not read Chinese.

Requirements

• A computer or phone that can use SCP. This guide uses a PC.
• WinSCP for Windows, available here .
• The English language file. You can translate it into Vietnamese if needed, but keep the syntax and leave the filename as base.cn.json.

Procedure

1. Enable superuser (root) mode and OpenSSH.
   • Open http://192.168.99.1/newifi/ifiwen_hss.html. 192.168.99.1 is the default IP of Newifi3 D2 stock firmware; replace it if you changed the router address.
2. Open WinSCP and configure the login dialog:
   • File Protocol: SCP
   • Hostname: Newifi3 D2 IP, normally 192.168.99.1, port 22.
   • Username: root
   • Password: The password set during the initial Newifi3 D2 setup. If forgotten, hold the reset button on the back of the router.
   • Click Login.
