Described as the best gaming router by AndroidPimp two days ago

Here it is compared to the Asus RT-AX86U that was popular with OzBargainers for $341.05 last week.

Versus declares that the Xiaomi is better.

Coupon code BGN0605D brings the price down to A$321.07 delivered.

This site shows the three antennas inside each of the four inverted V protrusions, giving it exceptional range, signal and stability across three bands.

        What’s your top internal speed? I use ax3600 mesh, the local speed is less than 600mbps. The band is not wide enough to get 1gbps nbn.

          In forums people say only the ax3600 Chinese version will transmit at full power. Global versions signal is weaker because of EU regulations. Which version did you buy.
          I was looking to buy a couple but don't want restricted power output. Want the full POWER, lol.

            • mckayver on 05/07/2021 - 04:59

              @AussieGargain: Hi mate, Did you manage to test the global vs Chinese versions for signal strength.

          Do you have 160mhz channel width enabled and do you have a client that can do 160mhz channel bandwidth (4x4 mimo)? If not you will max out at 867 mbps connected speed (real speeds will be lower)

          • AussieGargain on 03/07/2021 - 18:15
            +1

            @flagger: I think ax3600 can’t do 160mhz 4x4 mimo. It’s either 160mhz 2x2 or 80mhz 4x4.
            Sorry, I’m using mesh not sure if that matters. I couldn’t select 160mhz directly but choose 160/80/40/20 or 80mhz etc. no 160mhz itself.

            • flagger on 04/07/2021 - 08:16
              +1

              @AussieGargain: Yep that is true, but those modes will still net around 2.3gbps. However like i said you need the client device to be able to support those modes. Most laptops, phones and tablets I have seen only lately support up to 2x2 80mhz.

              Edit: just realised i said 4x4 160 mhz. My bad, I did mean 2x2 160mhz.

              • AussieGargain on 04/07/2021 - 09:03

                @flagger: Oh not at all. I tested using the latest iPhone to make sure the testing device has the latest wifi technology, but still couldn’t get more than 600mbps even in front of the routers. Anyway cheers mate for sharing the info.

      • mckayver on 05/07/2021 - 05:02

    The extra antennas on the xiaomi would be the only thing I'd potentially see as better, as it may allow for better beam forming (id check coverage reviews), otherwise they're very equivalent devices. I'd take the asus because I know they make great routers/firmware….and there is nothing worse than a lan/wan that "is a bit iffy".

    • RickyJ on 01/07/2021 - 13:48
      +1

      Earlier Xiaomi routers have received excellent reviews. It seems that there are a lot of people that know that Xiaomi makes great routers/firmware as well.

    • craving on 01/07/2021 - 15:16

      How long has Asus been making routers and how long has Xiaomi been making routers? Sure Chinese cars are decent (say Xiaomi), if it was only a couple of thousand dollars more, like for like would you pick it over the Japanese (say Asus for argument sake) who's been making cars a lot longer? There's your answer.

      BTW most people who have tried Xiaomi probably don't have 2 dozen odd devices connected at once. I've had trouble even with TP-Link whose been around a lot longer than Xiaomi. When I decided to go for the AX86 it was a calculated risk. Initially had an issue with the Sonos after a FW upgrade but since sorted out.

      • RickyJ on 01/07/2021 - 21:32

        I don't believe that having done something for longer means that you are better at it. For example, the Chinese have only just started launching rockets to space and already have a higher success rate than any others that have attempted it.

      • craving on 02/07/2021 - 15:52
        -1

        Yes of course it does. Lucky it's only you that doesn't believe it.
        Yes, I agree, the Chinese are mighty good at copying, unlike the Koreans and Japanese where they strive on their own to be better, including the debacle capacitors back in late 2000, which almost caused a meltdown on Dells. And don't get me started with cars. That's why they want car manufacturers to be joint ventures, hmmm…I wonder

        I find it ironic that China ignored Australia because they claimed we weren't grateful for their help, and that's the biggest hypocrisy if I ever hear one. Where are the thanks that the Americans saved them in WW2?

        • AussieGargain on 04/07/2021 - 08:48
          +1

          A lot of countries including Japanese at certain stage are/were copycat masters. That’s a skill and capability and not all countries even have that skill and capability. No countries born with creativity. To the last sentence…please learn a bit history at least. 1 of 5 permanent seats having veto power in UN Security Council is not just given but earned due to significant contributions to the victory of WW2.

        Have 2 TV's streaming through media centres, multiple phones/laptops/smart devices, NAS, Security DVR as well as a Gaming PC/Quest 2 connected via Wifi 6.
        No drops outs, no lag, no reboots required. Range is epic too.

          Likewise. Got the AX6000 and ordered the AX1800 at the same time. 6000 arrived first so installed it and the signal was great. Installed the 1800 as a node anyway because why not.

          Great value if you don't mind the UI not being English. Google translator sorts it out, and the app is entirely English anyway, so no big deal for me.

          • mckayver on 01/07/2021 - 16:23

            @wintermadness: Apparently the Chinese version has higher signal strength than global because of EU regulations.

              @mckayver: Pretty sure there's no Global version for the AX6000 yet. They're all Chinese atm..
              I think your comment might be in relation to the AX3600 where both variants exist.

              Could be wrong..

    • go2home on 01/07/2021 - 13:22

      If you have big house, a sigle router will not cover well, doesn't matter how powerful it is. You'd better simply buy the Google Nest Wifi 3pkgs pack, which runs very well in my house.

      • NinjaChicken on 01/07/2021 - 13:35
        +1

        I'd probably say you are better with any mesh system - in particular tri band if you want wireless backhaul. If you are going to use wired for the backhaul, then a dual band will be just fine. That's not to say you couldn't go a dual band mesh system using WiFi for backhaul (such as Asus AIMesh), but it may limit performance.

        I would steer clear of Google and Amazon's offerings, unless you are well versed and comfortable with their privacy policies and the amount of control their mesh systems may give them over your network.

        • go2home on 01/07/2021 - 14:09

          I was using a ASUS BRT-AC828 router + 3x celling mounted Ruckus R710 APs covering my house. It's running well and quite stable. I also had 2x NASs and a server, printer, gaming PC connected router, doing Link Aggregation etc. But in the end, I rearly using them too much. I upgraed the NBN to 250M plan last month, and found the wifi speed can't over 100M. After checking around and found one of the Ethernet cable got twisted and dropped to 100M speed. After all these, I felt I had enough with all these overkill staffs, and decide move to a simple life. Got the Google Nest Wifi pack and celling mounted them replaced all the router / APs / Cables. No more NAS sotrage. All move to clound + local cold HDD backup only. No gaming PC, just my laptop.

          Now everythig is simple and good. Wifi coverage and speed is all full.

              @netwolf: Got them from the business. They are really powerful and stable, but it's overkill for home use. Normally we don't have hundreads of Wifi devices to connect on the same time.

    looks good but Asus has a standout feature called AiMesh…

    "AiMesh allows for combining any two or more routers into a single mesh network, similar to the Netgear Orbi or Linksys Velop. … To take advantage of AiMesh, you need to get a couple of supported broadcasters. Most Asus routers have this feature."

    Good to see so far there's no that kind of CCP nonsense in the comment section. Also the router is pretty powerful spec wise.

    But the real point is, why there is no "gaming router" with a neutral look??? Does it have to look like a star war missile launch array? As far as I am concerned the antenna doesn't need to be designed that way to ensure the best signal.
