I just bought Xiaomi mesh system AX3000 NE (Model: RD28) from Xiaomi SG website.

I am able to use it fine but I realise that there is no option to set up VPN Server or client.
Now emailing xiaomi to find out.

I am using the latest firmware 1.0.25.
Anyone using the same router and can verify if this is also the firmware that you are using?

What if you use Mi Home mobile app?

For Xiaomi, sometimes the Web UI lacks some feature in the app.

For CLS Product List, Xiaomi has added Xiaomi AX3000T and Xiaomi Router BE3600 along with XIaomi Xiaomi Mesh System AX3000 NE to the CLS product list.

But I am not so sure if Xiaomi will bring in Xiaomi BE3600 and Xiaomi AX3000T global version to Singapore market anytime soon.

Anyone knows how to check router logs like the Xiaomi BE5000?

I'm having intermittent issue of handphone and laptop wifi showing connected but suddenly says 'no internet' for a short while then will recover. During this time Nokia ONT still showing 4 green LED as per normal. Wonder if router got any logs with some clues on what happened.

Which Xiaomi mesh is better? BE3600 or BE6500?

Xiaofan recommended BE6500 Pro due to better 2.4ghz and cheaper as well.

Xiaomi BE6500 Pro is indeed better but maybe not cheaper. You can also go with Xiaomi BE6500 Pro as the main router and then use lower end one as mesh node. As long as you can use Ethernet Backhaul, the performance should be quite okay.

https://www.mi.com/shop/search?keyword=路由

Xiaomi BE3600 (with 2.5G port) x 2 --> RMB 219 x 2 = RMB 438

Xiaomi BE3600 Pro Mesh set --> RMB 699 (two-pack)

Xiaomi BE6500 x 2 --> RMB 469 x 2 = RMB 938

Xiaomi BE6500 Pro x 2 = RMB 599 x 2 = RMB 1198

Xiaomi BE5000 (https://www.mi.com/xiaomi-routers/be-5000/specs ) in wireless bridge mode, using TP-Link Archer BE805 5GHz SSID as the up-link. The distance between the two routers is about 3.5m.

Wired client of Xiaomi BE5000 2.5G LAN port --> Acer Swift 3 2021 model, Ugreen USB 3 to 2.5G NIC.

The price of Xiaomi BE3600 (one 2.5G LAN port) and Xiaomi BE5000 (one 2.5G port) are low enough so you can actually use them in wireless bridged mode as a network adapter for your desktop/laptop/etc. They may perform much better than a USB to WiFi 6/6E/7 adapter.

Try the method mentioned here. Not so sure if it works for you or not. It does not seem to work for me but my XIaomi BE5000 is in WIreless Bridge mode.
https://www.chiphell.com/thread-2535927-1-1.html

First upload the log. Then go to the following web site and then get the file name of the log file. Replace STOK with your specific value.

2. Go to the following website (you need to use your own STOK value).

3. Now the problem is that it does not mention the path. I have not figured out the location of the log.

But somehow I cannnot copy the file out using scp. Probably the installed dropbear is not complete.

Hopefully we will see 3rd party OpenWRT implementation for Xiaomi WiFi 7 routers.

As of now, I know there are 3rd party OpenWRT version for Xiaomi BE1000 (IPQ9570), including one paid version by Lean (QWRT).

Maybe it is difficult to get for Xiaomi BE5000 which uses a different chipset from the rest (others are mostly using Qualcomm chipset). Not so sure when that will happen for Xiaomi BE7000 (IPQ9554). Then it will be more difficult for Xiaomi BE6500 Pro (IPQ5322) and Xiaomi BE6500 (IPQ5312). Let's wait and see.

One example mentioned before to install 3rd party OpenWRT for Xiaomi BE10000 (better not to use that as of now)..

At least I am happy to have SSH access to the Xiaomi BE5000.

Xiaomi BE5000 has a very slow Airoha AN7563PT dual core Arm Cortex A53 at 1GHz.

https://mao.fan/socpk.html (performance number for reference only)

oVrbXD8.png


The WAN speed (using 2.5G port as WAN) should be around 2.3x Gbps but it is much slower if I run iperf3 from the router.

Using "-P4" or even "-p10" does not help much.

Hi all, I have an issue requiring some help.

Router : Xiaomi BE6500 Pro
Firmware: 1.1.26
Wifi7
Wifi multi frequency unity: enabled
MLO settings : enabled
MU MIMO : enabled
Wifi5 compatible mode: disabled
DNS: I set to use 8.8.8.8 (primary) and 1.1.1.1 (secondary)

Sometimes, when I pick up my phone to use the Internet, my browser will take a long time trying to load internet page and will fail.

My wifi 7 is full strength and it doesn't appear there's any issues with my internet or router.
It simply unable to load up the internet page.

I realized I could quickly resolve this by turning off and on again the wifi on my phone. This will let me browse internet without any further issues.

Summary: often gets browser unable to browse internet after not using phone for a while (30min to 1hr). Wifi7 signal at full bar. Issue only appears during the initial attempt to use internet when picking up phone. Able to resolve it by turning off and on wifi on phone. No issues after initial attempt. But leave phone alone, issue will come back again later.

Any idea what's the underlying cause for this?

DNS: I set to use 8.8.8.8 (primary) and 1.1.1.1 (secondary)

Sometimes, when I pick up my phone to use the Internet, my browser will take a long time trying to load internet page and will fail.

My wifi 7 is full strength and it doesn't appear there's any issues with my internet or router.
It simply unable to load up the internet page.

I realized I could quickly resolve this by turning off and on again the wifi on my phone. This will let me browse internet without any further issues.

Summary: often gets browser unable to browse internet after not using phone for a while (30min to 1hr). Wifi7 signal at full bar. Issue only appears during the initial attempt to use internet when picking up phone. Able to resolve it by turning off and on wifi on phone. No issues after initial attempt. But leave phone alone, issue will come back again later.

Any idea what's the underlying cause for this?

Interesting. No idea here.

But what is your phone? Is this only happening with a paticular phone or all of your mobile phone device? Does it happen for other devices like a laptop?

The only remote guess is related to TWT. I always disable TWT (which is often the default for most routers).

Target Wake Time (TWT) feature allows end devices to enter a sleep state when not transmitting data, thus saving battery consumption

My phone is RedMagic 8 Pro from Nubia. China brand gaming phone.

I have not observed anyone else in my family complaining of similar issues.

I guess u might be right. It could be specific to my phone only. I may change phone soon to a more mainstream model.

Will also try tweaking with TWT if possible
