Official Xiaomi WiFi 6 Routers Thread

  • The aim of discussion threads like this is to share knowledge. Readers of this thread also include people who are considering getting a mesh wifi setup and would like to get educated about it before investing.

    I see a lot of posts about people getting a mesh wifi but are disappointed by the performance. The common response to those people has been to get a wired backhaul. I get a sense that those people are frustrated in that after investing in a mesh setup they are advised to further invest in a physical lan.
    I’m just pointing out an alternative. It may not help the original poster in particular or those who have already invested in a mesh network but it will help those who are researching about it.

    BTW in an all AP setup you can set the SSID to be the same for all APs. No need to manually connect everytime if you transfer to a different place. If the phone won’t let go of a farther AP even with the signal is very low, manually toggling the wifi on the phone will allow it to connect to the stronger AP. It’s an annoyance for sure but the user can judge for himself how much that annoyance is worth.
  • You also need to consider the appearance.

    Most standard routers are hideous. While most mesh, e.i. the mentioned Deco M4 and Xiaomi AX3000 have no unsightly antenna.
  • ^Again you make your own judgment how much the appearance is worth to you.
  • Wireless mesh kasi usually is targetted sa hindi masyadong techie. Everything can be setup using app. Very convenient para sa user.
  • basta i limit lang ang discussion on what the thread is about and we're good to go... otherwise... use "message"...
  • bakit kaya hindi ko maset ang 1000m sa wanport speed (<click here for link> nadidisable ang broadcast sa redmi ax6 router ko... stuck ang speed ko sa router less than 100m kahit plan ko ay 150mbps and good sya sa ONU....:(
  • assuming 1G rin yung other device, then have you tried replacing the LAN cable? 99% of the time may issue sa cable kaya hindi nag negotiate sa 1G
  • @frequenzy try ko ty
  • @frequency tama ka nga naloko pala ko sa cable dati sabi cat 6 daw
  • Hi. May gumagamit ba dito ng Xiaomi Mesh AX3000? Currently using it pero half lang ng speed nakukuha ko kahit yung main mesh lang yung nakaturn on. Nakabridge mode ako ngayon pero kahit nung hindi pa nakabridge ganun din. Separated 2.4G and 5G. Sa 5G ako nakaconnect. Using CAT8 cable. Pag from wired connection, LAN from main mesh to laptop, ok naman ang speeds. 600mbps plan. Sa wifi lang talaga yung issue. Best speed I had sa wifi is around 430mbps sa laptop. Sa phone around 340mbps lang. Is this normal? Any fix para dito?

    Hello. Yes. Umabot siya ng 600mbps both sa phone and laptop pag sa modem. I edited yung previous post for more details. I was thinking if using a Xiaomi AX6000 will fix this? Pero dapat kasi capable na si AX3000 for 600mbps speed kasi napoprovide naman niya yun pag wired via LAN.
  • then baka sa wireless settings nga lang. sa wireless try using on 5ghz

    -chan 36

    Thanks sa suggestion pero ganun pa rin. Anyway, observe ko muna. Sufficient naman yung speeds. Di lang talaga mautilize yung plan. Thanks ulit.

  • Mahirap kasi gamitin yung wifi pangtest ng speed since madaming factors ang dapat iconsider pero try mo na idisconnect yung ibang devices na connected sa wifi. Kung ganon pa rin try mo gumamit ng ibang device pang test

  • Update lang. Hindi ako mapakali. Bought a used Xiaomi AX6000. Now I'm getting correct speeds. 600mbps sa AX6000. Then connected one AX3000 as a mesh node. Getting ~300mbps sa mesh node which is expected. Dati around 150mbps lang. Sulit yung AX6000 for the specs considering other branded routers cost double the price.
  • ^ same tayo lods... Bumili ako dalawa then naka-mesh na yung dalawa on a Converge connection. Nakatira ako sa apartment across my house yung house ng parents ko, dun sa kanila nakaconnect yung isang AX6000... Nagtapon ako ng mahabang RJ45 cable sa poste para mai-connect ko sila sa Converge ko. So far so good. Ang ganda din ng signal nito than my previous routers and tumatagos naman sa pader.

    Ngayon eh pinapaputol ko na yung Globe connection ng parents ko para makatipid and shared na kami sa Converge with time of day plan 400mb/200mb connection.
  • Ngayon ko lang napansin yung latest version ng MiWifi app (Android) ay naka-Chinese na.
    Paano ibahin language nito? :P kairita...
  • Paano ibahin language nito?


    My Mi WiFi is still in English (Android), since my firmware is an International edition.

    You can only change the language for the international edition or global version.

    Previously, yan din sakit ng ulo ko. So I downloaded a modified English version sa YouTube.

    But since I changed my firmware to the global version, okay na.

    Try mo "Mi Home". I think yun na ang bagong controller ng Xioami sa mga bagong router nila.
