Hi all.
Any of these Routers like Xiaomi etc, etc onAliexpress legit?

They seem a fairly good price.

I just found this on AliExpress:
AU$291.42 | Xiaomi Router BE6500 Quad Nucleus Wifi7 6500Mbps 2.5G Ethernet Port Dual Frequency 2.4/5GHz 6 Independent Signal Amplifiers Mesh

  They're legitimate. Just be aware that the 6GHz band hasn't been approved for use in China so many of their WiFi 6E/7 routers will only be 2.4GHz/5Ghz. So you'd be better off getting something local.

  Then there's some with only CN firmware and you'll need to use Google Translate. This router was popular and had Openwrt support but Xiaomi made it harder to flash in later hardware revisions.

  I picked up a Voip Router several years ago that looked authentic, however the Power Adapter was illegal (No Insulated Pins), plus it was 'Made in Chaina'.
