Anyone on M1 fiber using this and manage to get ipv6 to work? I tried both slaac and dhcpv6 but not able to get ip address.
Can the Huawei AX3 Pro (or the global AX3 Quad) support mesh using wireless backhaul?
Hi, thanks but I'm asking about IPv6 not about WiFi. My router can't get an IPv6 address from M1Refer to this picture : https://www.thephonetalks.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Huawei-Router-AX3-Pro-Web-login-page.jpg
Compared with other Huawei routers, Huawei AX3 Pro adds a “Wi-Fi 6” custom start function on the web page. It’s on by default. When we encounter some old devices that cannot scan the Wi-Fi 6 signal, we can simply turn it off.

i am currently
ont -> Dlink DIR850L (living rm) -> Asus n66u as AP (study room)
plan to get Huwei AX3 but should i use it to replace 850L or n66u?
i presume after ont out -> should be to AX3
Thanks for your reply, xiaofan!@amazingone
No, I do not think this is feasible. Single AX3 Pro most likely can not do the job. Two AX3 Pro may help but placement is important. Your current placement is not optimum.
Your best bet is to lay cable to the upper floor and put the second Askey in the upper floor so that you can use Ethernet backhaul. This will help as well when you decide to change the Askey to something better.
Your A2 mesh node is too far away from the A1 main node, you may need to shift it closer to A1 to improve the coverage. For example, move it outside of the bedroom to let it have line of sight with A1 main node. If this does not work out, you may also try adding one more Askey unit in the upper floor (you need to get from SingTel).
By the way, if you are using SingTel ONT, Huawei AX3 Pro (China version) can not support SingTel VLAN so it cannot be connected directly to the ONT. But since you are using ONR, this is not a problem.
Thanks for your reply, xiaofan!
I understand that my current placement is not very optimum but it's the best I could do at the moment, to ensure some line of sight between the two Askey nodes. Unfortunately I could not lay cable to the upper floor due to some reason (partly due to aesthetics), so I guess Ethernet backhaul is out of the option for my case.
Currently the two Askey nodes have line of sight as the A2 node in the study room is placed near to the door which is open 24/7. If I were to place it further nearer to the window of the study room then the performance of the A2 node will be even weaker.
Other than placing A2 in the study room, my another option is at the dining area marked with a yellow asterisk. However, due to fengshui there are some ornaments being placed at there and electronics are avoided thus it's not possible too.
I guess my option is quite limited, I will see if replacing with AX3 Pro in the A1 and A2 location will work well.
Yes, I have combed through this thread and AX3 Pro will suit my usage as I will just have to configure the AX3 Pro to work as an AP when connected to the ONR. I initially considered the Xiaomi AX3600 but it doesn't support mesh in AP.
Quick question, if I were to get the AX3 Pro to work as the main router, can I get the local AX3 Quad and connect it the AX3 Pro to set up a mesh network?
I see, looks like I will get the two AX3 Pro to see if it will work well in my home.For mesh, it is better not to mix global version and China version. In your case, since you are not using ONR, ONR will be the main router. So there is no need to use SingTel VLAN at all and there is no point to buy the global version.
As for the AX3600, I believe mesh can work with AP mode. You can go through the AX3600 thread and I posted two links in the thread.
Cannot access the AX3 setup page after ONT replacement. Before ONT replacement i can access.
My PC is connected to my AX3 network.
M1 > ONT > LINKSYS Router > AX3 (As AP)
I check ipconfig/all the default gateway IP is my Linksys router?
What's the IP address to my Huawei router ?? Anyone can help?
