Redmi AX6000 is quite satisfactory in appearance, with black speed body and frosting technology. In order to better dissipate heat, there are many cooling holes on the front, but it also brings a trouble, that is, it is easy to accumulate dust. There are no buttons except a Redmi LOGO on the front.
On the back is a 4-port gigabit network port. The network port supports blind insertion and does not distinguish between WAN and LAN. However, due to cost considerations, the 2.5G network card was cut off, which is worth mentioning. It supports LAN aggregation function. That is to say, you can merge the two ports into 1, and the speed will become 2G. Router support, but equipment support is also required. In addition, it also supports IPTV, which only needs a network cable to transmit data streams and IPTV, saving the trouble of wiring. This is very useful for many hardcover rooms because the network cable has been laid, and most of them have only one network cable. With Redmi AX6000, you don't have to worry about the shortage of network cables. 1 works as two cables. There is a MESH networking key next to the network port, which is needed for multi-channel networking, and there is also a reset key.
As for the antenna, it is still four antennas. The antenna can be rotated by180, and folded by 90%. It can't be completely folded like Huawei routers, and the storage is almost the same. However, the router takes a long time. Unless it is idle, who will store it?
The bottom of the fuselage is basically a cooling hole. From the setting of cooling holes, it can basically be concluded that there should be no big problem in cooling this router, but it is definitely easy to get dust.
In terms of configuration, Redmi AX6000 adopts a 2.0GHz quad-core processor, equipped with a large memory of 5 12M, supports WiFi6, supports the bandwidth of 160MHz, supports the concurrency of eight data streams, adopts eight signal amplifiers, and has a total speed of 6000M, of which the 5G band is 4804M. The configuration is really powerful, which conforms to the positioning of Xiaomi products.
After the configuration, we will start the main race and measure it! Same as the last Huawei AX6 test. Three-bedroom and two-hall apartment, with a total area of103m2. The router is placed next to the TV in the living room, which is the position of the five-pointed star in the picture. Then we selected nine locations, namely, balcony, living room, second bedroom, master bedroom, master bathroom, children's room, public toilet, dining room and kitchen, and marked them as 123456789 respectively.
As can be seen from the plan, there are many load-bearing walls, and the black ones are reinforced concrete load-bearing walls. As said at the beginning of the article, this kind of wall is a great challenge for routers. So what is the performance of Huawei Redmi AX6000? Test Huawei mate30 of mobile phone, supporting bandwidth of 160MHz, maximum theoretical connection rate of mobile phone of 1733M, and home broadband of 300M m.
We start from the position point 1 and then go to the position point 23456789 to test the speed and signal respectively, and get the following results.
According to the results of the above tests, we analyze the signal and rate together. At 128, the signals are very strong because there is no occlusion, which are -38, -34, -4 1, and the test speed is 390, so it can run broadband completely.
Although 5679 is shielded, because it is a non-bearing wall, the signal is slightly shielded, and the signal is particularly strong and strong, which are -70, -52, -65 and -60 respectively. Except for 6 sites, which are about 350M, the other 3 points all reach about 390, which can basically cover the whole broadband.
3. The location point should pass through the 1 load-bearing wall. Although the signal strength is strong, the signal value is -57, but it is already a 2.4G signal at this time, so the speed is relatively slow, only 96M, only broadband 1/4, while the 4-position point has to pass through a non-bearing wall, and the distance is even longer, the signal value is -67, and the measured speed is only 50M.
Judging from the speed measurement results and analysis, the signal of Redmi AX6000 is really strong. At home, except for the 34-bit point, all the nine points can reach more than 350M, which means that the broadband at home can basically run. However, when we meet the load-bearing wall, we still have to stop for dinner. The network speed of the second bedroom is less than 100M, and the main bedroom drops to about 50 m. This result is basically consistent with our last test of Huawei AX6. It seems that the route of the load-bearing wall is really difficult to walk over. In my case, I think the network speed of the master bedroom and the second bedroom is relatively fast, so I need to add routing networking.
Summary:
Redmi AX6000 has strong configuration and high cost performance. The measured signals of eight signal amplifiers are also good, but they are still dry when they hit the load-bearing wall. Therefore, for families with load-bearing walls, it is no problem to realize the whole house coverage by one route, but it is unrealistic to realize the practical high-speed coverage of the whole house. The rate of the master bedroom and the second bedroom is lower than100 m. If you want the whole house to have a fast network speed, you need to add a routing network, and wired network is the best. Compared with the Huawei AX6 we tested last time, the signal and speed are basically the same, some of them are covered, and the speed is slightly stronger in Redmi. Overall, there is almost no big difference in experience.
Finally, to answer a question, many fans asked us how to choose Huawei AX6 and Redmi AX6000. After all, both routers are heavyweight products of 500 yuan price. In fact, the router at this price is completely enough for home users. How to choose depends on the situation. If you have children at home, Huawei AX6 is preferred. The system and ecology of Huawei AX6 are too strong. Children's online care can make it easy for parents to manage the network at home and let their children go to class online with peace of mind. Regardless of children, if family members use Huawei mobile phones, they will definitely choose Huawei AX6. If family members use Xiaomi, they can choose Xiaomi Redmi AX6000. Redmi is chosen for cost performance, but in fact, the price difference between the two routes is only 50, which is really not much difference.
