Separate antenna for connecting "smart" gadgets
At the beginning of 2020, the Chinese giant Xiaomi released its first Wi-Fi 6 router. As always, they didn’t want to make just a router, but got confused with the design and unusual features. Looking like a miniature breadbasket, the Mi AIoT Router AX3600 is littered with antennas. Four are allocated for the 5 Hz band, a couple more are responsible for 2.4 Hz, and the central AIoT antenna has a special role. Using the MiHome app, it automatically finds and instantly integrates new “smart” gadgets into the home ecosystem, whether it be smart bulbs, wireless speakers or ovens. Such an instant connection is one of the features of the new generation of Wi-Fi 6, which allows the Smart Home project to open up in a new way. So that the router does not get tired of the ever-growing number of “smart” gadgets, it was equipped with a performant bundle of a Qualcomm quad-core processor and an additional dual-core network accelerator.
Bandwidth 2976 Mbps
Living in the headquarters of Inspector Gadget is certainly cool, but how good is the Router AX3600 in everyday work in an ordinary apartment? On the one hand, this is a very advanced device with very high quality signal coverage, high speed (2402 Mbps in the 5 GHz band and 574 Mbps when connected to 2.4 GHz), the ability to connect up to 248 clients, support for useful things like MU-MIMO and Beamforming, as well as a simple mobile app setup system. After updating the firmware, the 5 GHz radio module learned to work with a 160 MHz band and seamless MESH networks.
Unrealized potential (so far)
On the other hand, all its iron power is used at best by half: the software is not the most convenient and functional with a mediocre VPN implementation, cut out by DLNA and missing iPTV and a torrent client. The same can be said about the chips for a smart home, although the MiHome application was translated from Chinese into English, the router is still only friendly with smart gadgets from Xiaomi, and if you, for example, have a smart light bulb or a robot vacuum cleaner from other manufacturers , then sorry, it will not work to integrate them into a smart home from Xiaomi. Perhaps all this will be finished in official firmware. Or craftsmen from the forums will get down to business. Otherwise, it will be a Bugatti Veyron in a village without a single paved road. Effective and useless.
