In mid-May, we learned about the new router launched by Xiaomi. Under the Xiaomi, AX1800 hides a striking router that dispenses with external antennas and that is also compatible with WiFi6, the latest modality for the wireless connection protocol.
We still do not know when it will leave China to make the jump to other markets, but the company does not waste time and has already announced that this model will be compatible with mesh networks or Mesh networks through an update that is already being released.
Compatible with Mesh networks
The Xiaomi AX1800 has dual-band connectivity, operating in both 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz. With a tower-shaped outer body with integrated antennas, it hides a Qualcomm APQ6000 processor with NPU supported by 256MB of RAM along with two independent high-performance Qorvo signal amplifiers so that it can boost signal strength by 4dB and boost coverage by 50%.
According to the brand, the tower-shaped design favors ventilation and improves coverage by offering a 360-degree signal. And with the update that will provide it with compatibility for Mesh networks, the coverage is expanded. A possibility that the company announced at launch and that now comes true.
In order to take advantage of this improvement, only one but is that we will have to have several Xiaomi AX1800 models to be able to create a mesh network throughout the house.
This model stands out above all that it is compatible with WiFi 6 and that it has support for OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access), a technology that allows data to be sent to multiple terminal devices using only one transmission. In fact, according to Xiaomi, the AX1800 allows the simultaneous connection of up to 128 devices simultaneously.
Price and availability
The Xiaomi AX1800 is priced at 329 yuan, which is about 42 euros in exchange.
