Mi Router AX1800 Review: Perfect fit for WiF6 Mobile Phone
In terms of hardware configuration, the Xiaomi router AX1800 uses Qualcomm enterprise-class 5-core chip, plus four independent signal amplifiers, has 256MB memory, and theoretically supports the simultaneous connection of 128devices. At the same time, Xiaomi intelligent equipment is equipped with key-free access to the network. At the same time, it also supports OFDMA technology and multiple Mesh networking.
Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) is a new generation of Wi-Fi standard, which has a great improvement in transmission rate, signal coverage and data delay compared with the previous generation of Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac). Especially in scenarios where multiple devices are connected at the same time, the Wi-Fi 6 router can significantly reduce data latency and stutter.
The Xiaomi Mi router AX1800 can be perfectly matched with WiFi6 phones of Snapdragon 865 platforms such as Xiaomi Mi 10 and Samsung S20, as well as the use of Apple iPhone 11 series which perfectly supports built-in WiF6 technology. At the same time, Xiaomi Mi router AX1800 can also be used by devices that are downwards compatible with WiFi5. Compared with the current mainstream Wi-Fi5 AC1200 routers at home, the wireless rate of AX1800 router can be increased by up to 52%. Through gigabit ports, it can theoretically download a high-definition movie in 8 seconds, making full use of every megabit bandwidth.
In order to ensure wider and more stable signal coverage, Xiaomi Mi router AX1800 also uses four Qovro high-performance independent signal amplifiers. Compared with the integrated amplifier, the signal strength of the independent amplifier is increased by 4dB, and the theoretical coverage is increased by 50%.
In addition, Xiaomi Mi router AX1800 also supports OFDMA, MU-MIMO, and other technologies and multiple Mesh networking (upgrade support before June 30). OFDMA technology allows routers to send data to up to 8 devices in a single transmission, reducing network latency by 66%. MU-MIMO enables multiple people to surf the Internet more smoothly, and multiple Mesh networks can bid farewell to the dilemma of a single router signal with a dead corner, easily handle various complex household types, seamlessly cover the signals of the whole house, and enjoy high-speed Wi-Fi6 wherever you go.
In terms of device access, Xiaomi Mi router AX1800 is equipped with 256MB large memory, which theoretically supports the simultaneous access of 128devices. When Xiaomi intelligent equipment enters the network for the first time, it is very convenient to cooperate with the Mijia APP setting and do not need to enter the password manually. Thanks to Xiaomi's years of technical experience in smart homes, Xiaomi Mi router AX1800 also supports privacy security protection for a variety of mainstream smart home devices on the market, which can detect potential security vulnerabilities with one click.
Mi Router AX1800 Review: 14nm Qualcomm 5 Core Enterprise Router processor
In terms of chips, Xiaomi Mi router AX1800 uses Qualcomm enterprise-class 5 core chips-Qualcomm IPQ6000, applies enterprise-class chips to home routers to ensure the stability of the network at all times. The computing power of 4-core 64-bit A53 1.2GHz CPU+ single-core 1.5 GHz NPU, is as high as 11040DMIPS. The new generation of 14nm process converges more surging performance in a smaller size, significantly reduces power consumption, and reduces the calorific value by 20%. It is worth mentioning that the independent network acceleration engine processor (single-core 1.5GHz NPU), is designed to handle high-frequency forwarding network data traffic for long-term connections, reduce CPU footprint, improve throughput, significantly improve data forwarding efficiency, and reduce delay waiting. While watching 4K high-definition network video, you can also play games with friends and bid farewell to multi-application concurrency when the game stutters and drops frames.
