Xiaomi and ASUS routers differ by only 7MB in actual tests; the 1400 yuan price difference is all switched in the background
My family AX3000T used it for two years, my colleague's RT-AX86U Pro lasted three years, and the same phone's face-to-face speed test only differs by 7MB from 941 to 934. The price difference for 1,400 yuan isn't for the signal, but for the backend switches, VPN server, and Merlin firmware. Five types of people are matched by the same name, and only pay after watching....

The Xiaomi AX9000 is a used phone for 300 yuan, the last flagship model, and its gaming frequency is actually WiFi 5
A colleague bought a Xiaomi AX9000 for 330 yuan, a last-generation tri-band flagship for 999 yuan. I went to his place to test all night and discovered: the most hyped game-exclusive frequency band was actually WiFi 5. The real value was actually the dedicated ones that didn't compete for others. USB 3.0, six-core CPU, 2.5G port—these are all sorted out in one article, and I've covered six pitfalls for second-hand device inspections....

90% of households don't use Xiaomi 10G BE10000 and the new Pro
Old Wei was tempted to go for a 10-gigabit router at the launch event. I laid out the BE10000 and the newly released BE10000 Pro and did three calculations: the new model is 100 cheaper and has more hard drive space, but the CPU has shrunk, and 90% of dual 10-megabit ports can't feed their families. Read this article before you pay....

When upgrading a Xiaomi router, you can configure it synchronously with the same account, but you have to handle all four things yourself
When upgrading a Xiaomi router, you don't need to reconfigure all settings: both new and old devices are on the same device When pairing with a Mi Home app, select 'Sync configuration from old router.' The WiFi name, password, and broadband account will automatically follow through Come. But I couldn't remove the device blacklist, child time slot, static IP binding, and scheduled restart—I went through them one by one on the night I switched I made up for it....

For Xiaomi routers, you need to use Breed first; the Phoenix base is a perfect solution for regret
Nine out of ten tutorials on upgrading Xiaomi routers will teach you to get the Breed first. What exactly is it? A small system installed in the boot location comes with a built-in web recovery console, allowing for instant rework when the firmware is flicked incorrectly. The three times I couldn't get in, plus EEPROM backup and flash storage, will be explained all at once....

The Xiaomi router's yellow light keeps flashing and bricks; distinguishing between three types of bricks saved three units
The constant flashing yellow light on the Xiaomi router doesn't necessarily mean it's a brick; if the light goes off completely, it could just be a faulty power supply. I've saved three units: a AX3000T that tripped during an upgrade was saved by resetting, a colleague's AC2100 was revived by flashing via USB flash, and my mother-in-law's unit had an outdated adapter. Distinguish the three types of bricks before you start; don't treat a good machine like junk....

The CR6609 is actually a rebadged Redmi AX1800 for the telecom version, bought for 60 yuan to flash the device as a Mesh sub-node
The CR6609 is a WiFi 6 router customized by Xiaomi for Telecom, sibling to the CR6606 and CR6608. The hardware is basically a Redmi AX1800 with a black case: MT7621 dual-core and 256MB of RAM. I spent 60 yuan to buy one for three days of testing. After flashing the official firmware and binding it to Mijia's Mesh, it's just right. Before you snag a bargain, understand these pitfalls first....

The 999-yuan Xiaomi Smart Home screen gathers dust for three months, while the 329-yuan small panel at the entrance remains
The smart home screen in the living room cost 999 yuan and I got dusty for three months, but what remained was actually a 329 yuan 86-box small panel in the entryway. From 329 to 2499, six screen-equipped devices align with one meter. Having a screen doesn't mean having a gateway; the Zigbee barrier still needs to be supplemented. Which screen wall is more important than buying the other model....

Breaking down Xiaomi routers AX, BE, CR, and Pro, the AX3000 is actually three units
Helping Uncle San's colleague pick out second-hand Xiaomi routers. On Xianyu, I found AX3000, AX3000T, and CR8809 priced from 95 to 260. They look like the same but are actually three generations apart. The prefix AX/BE stands for WiFi generationality, the number is wireless speed, not bandwidth megabytes, and CR is carrier customization. This article breaks down these letters and numbers one by one....

Xiaomi Central Gateway: Can't bring Zigbee, saved the day the external network was cut off that night
On the very first day I bought the Xiaomi Core Gateway, I was thrown into cold water: without Zigbee, half of my sensors can't get in. Paired with a multi-mode gateway. After testing for half an hour after removing the broadband from the gateway, I finally understood where the 309 yuan was spent—even if the external network is cut off, the linkage that needs to run still runs as usual. Before buying, make sure to check the agreements for your home devices....
