As an electronic enthusiast, I usually pay more attention to electronic products. It is highly recommended that you buy the Redmi router AX3000 with gigabit router. My family also uses the same router. I also recommended this router to my sister's family in the previous Double Eleven, which gave me the greatest feeling: excellent stability and high cost performance, which is worth recommending. Come and have a look at the relevant information of this mobile phone with me ~

Redmi router AX3000

Official price: only 249 yuan

First, design.

Compared with other similar products, Redmi router AX3000 can be better integrated into home, office and other use environments. In addition, it is very small, so it can be placed on the desktop, hung on the wall, hidden on the back of a desk or sofa, etc. It is convenient for users to find a suitable place for it. There are also four external antennas, which can be rotated to adjust the angle according to different positions.

As far as appearance is concerned, this route generally continues the appearance style of the previous generation RedmiAX5, and the grid hollowing design is widely used. If the route is facing the light source, you can even vaguely see the components inside the router from the outside. The router motherboard is placed in the center, leaving heat dissipation space around it.

In order to further improve the heat dissipation efficiency, the motherboard is covered with a large area of nano-coated metal heat dissipation plate and heat-conducting silicone grease, so that the heat can be exported as soon as possible and the router runs stably. From a longer-term point of view, reliable heat dissipation can improve the service life of routers and make them more durable.

There are Redmilogo and two indicator lights above the router, which are blue in normal operation and orange in adaptation. The network name, IP address, some specifications and the groove of the router wall are printed below; In the back, there is a power socket, a mesh key, a reset key, a WAN port and three LAN ports.

I think the home appearance of Redmi router AX3000 is more in line with the aesthetics of most people to some extent, and can also adapt to more usage scenarios and places. Compared with other WiFi6 routes in the market, which are more specialized and hard-core, this is a manifestation of differentiation and unique competitiveness.

Second, the signal aspect.

Before measuring the speed, I connected the power supply and network cable to the Redmi router AX3000 for installation. After receiving the WiFi signal, the mobile phone clicks on its own WiFi, and the "Internet Wizard" will automatically pop up. All users need to do is to set basic items such as WiFi name and password according to their own needs before surfing the Internet, and there is no need to re-enter broadband account and password. If there is a need to set up routing in the future, you can download Xiaomi WiFi or Mijia APP for control.

Here, I suggest that users click the two options of "dual-band integration" and "enable 160MHz". The former can combine 2.4GHz and 5GHz signals into one, allowing the router to intelligently select the frequency band suitable for connecting devices. The latter can increase the bandwidth and speed up the Internet. If the WiFi bandwidth is understood as an expressway, and the conventional 80Hz bandwidth is 8 lanes, then the meaning of "160MHz" is to make the expressway wider and turn it into 16 lane, which will bring greater data flow and exchange speed. Feedback to consumers means that the content in the application can be presented more quickly.

It is worth noting that the effect of 160MHz needs to be in 5GHzWiFi, and devices that support this bandwidth can really play a role. In order to further improve the network speed, Redmi router AX3000 is equipped with Qualcomm IPQ5000 platform, and the built-in NPU chip can be used as an independent "network acceleration engine" chip, which can greatly reduce the CPU load and reduce the network delay probability. So what is the network performance of Redmi router AX3000 in the actual use environment?

This is the plan of the test environment. It is an ordinary two-bedroom with a lot of walls. I set a route in the living room, and listed the living room, bedroom and other rooms as six points, namely A, B, C, D, E and F, to test the signal and network speed level of the mobile phone at these six points.

First, the network speed of the route is tested at point A. The download rate is 256.3Mbps, and the upload rate is 14.3Mbps, which has already exceeded the current 250M broadband package rate of China Mobile. In addition, the current PING value is 5 milliseconds and the jitter is 3 milliseconds. The lower these two values, the better. The current network delay control is still good. Next, other rooms are tested, and the test results are shown in the following figure.

As far as signal is concerned, Redmi router AX3000 can achieve full signal coverage in the whole house, and basically I can receive full signals in every corner of the room. As can be seen from the histogram, because the router is placed at point A, the signal is naturally the best, which is -40dBm. However, the signal intensity of WiFi signal will be attenuated due to wall occlusion, signal interference and other factors in the propagation process, but as can be seen from the figure, even the E point with the worst signal has -66dBm, and the signal level is good. Redmi router AX3000 house signal can be maintained at a good level to meet the normal use of users.

Third, the network speed.

In terms of network speed, this router really shines. The download rates of the six test points are basically at full load or close to the online rate of the current network package, and the network speed is stable and fast, with an average download speed of 30 MB/s. Even at the E point with poor signal level, that is, the toilet, the download rate can reach 2 16 Mbps, which is converted into the network speed displayed by the mobile phone of 27 MB/s.

Watching the video and watching the live broadcast on weekdays, there is rarely a situation of being stuck. Even watching the live broadcast with Blu-ray resolution will not lead to repeated reloading. Download files, videos, etc. Can be completed in a short time. In addition to the download rate, the upload rate is stable between 13- 14Mbps, showing stable performance.

In the six test points, the mobile phone can quickly open web pages, load video content, download applications and so on. And it is full of broadband packages. As far as personal experience is concerned, such a network speed can make people feel very comfortable.

I think the only thing people care about is delay. It may be because of cell wiring, operators, broadband packages or other reasons. The actual delay of six test points is between 20-30 milliseconds, which makes people feel a little tangled.

The reason is that if you use your mobile phone to watch videos, watch live broadcasts, play games and brush Weibo, etc. This delay will not affect your normal use. For example, in Genshin Impact, which has certain requirements for delay, the delay can be stabilized at about 50 milliseconds, which is acceptable for mobile games, and there is no obvious fluctuation during the game.

If you use a PC to play games on the premise of connecting WiFi, such as League of Legends, the network delay will fluctuate greatly between 60-200 ms, so if you have this demand, it is recommended to connect the network cable to ensure a normal game experience. After access, the delay can be stabilized at 43 milliseconds.

Fourth, super affordable "mesh nodes"

As a part of the Xiaomi ecological chain, this route also has a very useful function-Xiaomi. com. Redmi router AX3000 is a router equipped with Qualcomm platform, which supports MESH connection with all Xiaomi and Redmi WiFi6 routers, and supports 10 devices at most.

In Xiaomi wifi app—- toolbox, select add Mesh routing node, and set other WiFi6 routers of Xiaomi and Redmi as Mesh nodes. Of course, Redmi router AX3000 itself can also be used as an extension node of Xiaomi AX6000, Xiaomi AX9000 and other routes that meet the requirements.

As the Mesh node of Redmi router AX3000, this setup process is very simple, and it can be completed according to the APP prompts. After the setting is completed, put the route where it is needed as a Mesh node, and then you can expand the signal without any other setting. After the expansion, the signal coverage will be larger, the network speed of the placed room and the nearby area will be closer to the main route, and the network delay will also be reduced.

After setting, put it into the room to be expanded. After rebooting, the router needs a little time to enter the mesh state, and the two indicators turn blue before it can be used normally. The network speed and delay of the extended area are also close to the main route. Playing League of Legends on this premise, the delay can be stabilized at 49 milliseconds, and there is no need to connect the network cable to have a good game experience.

Summary:

On the whole, the performance of Redmi router AX3000 in terms of signal, speed and delay can meet the needs of users, especially home users. WiFi6 router is cheap and cost-effective, and it is also a very pragmatic choice for consumers.

Recommend a Gigabit Router

Tengda AC 10, R6300V2 (foreign garbage), R6400, AC66UB 1.

1: Tengda AC 10

The cheapest product recommended this time, the price of 169 yuan, is very suitable for entry-level users, and there is no problem with 200M broadband. There is a full gigabit LAN+WAN. Compared with AC9 scheme, Broadcom is changed to 28nm small crab, so there should be a lot less third-party firmware, but it supports MU-MIMO and has good wall stability. Suitable for people who are not demanding and do not toss.

2: r6300v 2 (foreign garbage)

One of the most classic routers of Netware, Merlin firmware blessing makes it shine even after it has been on the market for several years, and even if you use Merlin, you don't have to worry about NAT performance. It is still HWNAT. The average price of foreign garbage in Taobao is between 300 and 320. Compared with other routers in 300 yuan, this router is still very good.

3:R6400

You can think of it as an external antenna version of R6300V2. At present, 6300V2 has been delisted, which is the only configuration you can buy in Goudong. The hardware is exactly the same as 6300V2, and there is Merlin firmware. Compared with Taobao's foreign garbage, there is no warranty, and the warranty of the buyer is still trustworthy.

4:AC66UB 1

AC68U is not recommended because it is too expensive to support MU-MIMO. For routers that do not support this, it is meaningless to think that there are more than 600. The hardware of 66UB 1 is basically the same as the first two, but the name of ASUS is there. After all, Merlin is based on the firmware of ASUS, which can directly brush each other, unlike netware, which is a bit troublesome.

Precautions:

1, ASUS -AC3200 (Bank of America)

This product has an R8000 counterpart and four LAN ports, but it still supports MU-MIMO and the latest version of Merlin, so don't worry about firmware. The scheme still adopts BCM4709A0 dual core 1GHz, and supports 5GHz dual frequency (1300M+ 1300M).

2、AC86U

The last product recommended by this router adopts Broadcom's latest BCM4906 scheme, so its performance is very powerful. However, although there is 5 12M memory, the memory occupancy rate under Merlin firmware is terrible because of the kernel. If you open the virtual memory without inserting a USB flash drive, there may be many problems.

Which brand of Gigabit router is the best and the signal is the most stable?

Gigabit router brand recommendation:

1, TP-LINKWDR7660 Gigabit Edition

TP-LINK has high popularity, stable reputation, beautiful appearance, good measured transmission through walls and networks, and high cost performance. Gigabit routing is relatively cheap. Of course, memory and cpu are relatively low-profile versions, which can't be compared with Xiaomi's glory, but the router setting is simple and stupid, which is still the first recommendation.

2. Xiaomi Router 4

Xiaomi Router is really a gigabit version of Xiaomi Router 4A and Xiaomi Router 4. We recommend 4, because its ROM is greater than 128M, while router 4A is ROM 16MB. Although both flash memories are 128M, the larger ROM can access more wireless devices without being stuck, which is more stable. The measured comprehensive ability of Xiaomi router is good, and the first one is recommended.

3. Glory Routing pro2

The difference between glory route pro2 and glory route pro lies in the hardware configuration. Pro2 uses larger CPU and memory, and can access more wireless devices to maintain stability. If there are many wireless devices such as mobile phones or computers in your home, pro2 version is recommended. In addition, Glory Routing also supports dual broadband and can access two Gigabit broadband at the same time. This is its characteristic. The maximum speed of 5G is 1 167Mbps, so there is no pressure to play wireless gigabit broadband.

4.Netware R6800

This R6800 can access more wireless devices. WAN and LAN ports support Gigabit, with 256MB of memory. The 5G rate supports up to 1300Mbps, and the 2.4G rate supports up to 600Mbps. The measured network speed and wall penetration ability are higher than above.

5. ASUS RT-AC68U

Its characteristic is that it supports accessing more wireless devices at the same time. It claims that accessing 80 to 100 devices will not cause instability, which is equivalent to accessing wireless devices in large offices, such as laptops and a large number of mobile phones. Like Netware, it can brush all kinds of third-party firmware, with high playability and many extended functions, which can meet almost all the functions that other routers can meet.
