Overall had a great experience setting up and using this router considering it's still a China-only product in theory! Signal strength was good-average and more than enough to cover a small apartment and dual band coverage means it's OK to use with a bunch of phones, PCs and other devices. There are of course better routers but they also cost a lot more. Talking about price, this thing still costs close to $30 now, which still, is a good price, but no longer a super-bargain price considering the lack of proper documentation and the fact that a non-Chinese-speaking person can only control it through the app, which does not give access to some settings that are only available via the Chinese interface....which brings me to the only complaint about this device: I had to navigate the Chinese web interface by google translate to find the channel settings for the 5GHz signal; a couple of devices were refusing to connect and even see the 5G signal because they did not recognize the default channel the router was tuned to. It was a 3 minute thing to fix but I can't imagine everyone being able to perform it and it certainly wasn't as easy as changing the language of the interface... which, it should be. Also some addons of the app are still in Chinese language, so they're almost impossible to use for the moment but... still, that's maybe asking too much from xiaomi right now. All in all it's a great router for the money, runs cool and provides decent dual band coverage for a small office/apartment. It also does not have 20 lights and doesn't look like a spider, which makes it look great in a living room (which is another reason why I bought it).Read full review

This router is truly great value for money, the only downside is that routers UI is chinese. It is quite easy to write another firmware with english language but then it won't be the newest firmware.

Need a cheap 5ghz simultaneous two-band router at home? This is it. Cheap and effective. However, you have to grab a custom firmware if you need it in english. This is not difficult at all though. Just have to remember to then pair it and turn off autoupdating. Although, if you have already configured it you can just make a backup of the router settings. That way you can let it update to the latest firmware and everything will be fine anyway. The App that connects to this works decently and is in english, unlike the router itself, but it is lacking in several options which can only be accessed from the router itself. Other than that, this thing is incredible for the price and works great. The wall penetration mode is excellent for old homes that have mesh-lined walls. Overall this is a great product.Read full review
