Xiaomi's Routers!

[renfred89]

Hi bros,

I am currently on VQ 600mb plan. Connected to my desktop from the xiaomi router 2 1tb setup like this -

Using cat 6:
zhone ont gb port > xiaomi router wan port

cat 5e:
xiaomi router gb port > desktop gb port.

If I'm directly using the zhone router, I'm getting the correct speed for both down/up (500+mbps/500+mbps)

If I use the router gb port to my desktop, I'm getting a capped 100mbps for upload.

Any bros can figure why this is so?

Note that I tested all on speedtest.net local servers & confirmed that QOS is turned off for the xiaomi router.

Which model is ur smallrice router? I rmb got one model is only fast-ethernet.. hahas

Most likely the model you bought has only 100Mbps ethernet. However, wireless speed is a few hundred Mbps.

But in real life, there is no diff between 100Mbps and your ISP plan of 600Mbps, because besides ookla servers, no other servers give up high speed. For normal usage, you are considered lucky if the servers give you 50Mbps.

Bro,

Thanks for the reply. The router I'm using is the one with 1tb hdd so pretty sure it's gb port. Furthermore, I'm hitting 500mbps on downloads so....

I got Note 4 and I will be getting the Mi Router 2 1TB soon. Will test and post review here.

I just got my hands on the Mi Router 2 1TB today.

Finally setup everything liao and got a few question.

1. Does it support IPV6? If yes, how to setup IPV6?
2. Anybody here using this with the Xiaomi Yi Camera?

Please check whether is your PC connecting to the Mi Router 2 1TB at Gigabit. Not all cable allow you to achieve Gigabit.

Confirm getting GB on pc. That's what it shows on the network adaptor details.

Anyway I've solved the issue. The culprit was the damn traffic shaping software which comes with my motherboard(asrock). Uninstalled that crap and I'm getting the correct speed now.

Thanks for the input bros.

Think you can turn on the DLNA on the Mi Router and you should be able to watch from Homegroup.

So far from what I tested, for Android can.

I am. They will self detect and you can see the router icon in ur TV menu to playback any videos you have from there.

Over wifi of course. Unless our lame telcos offer unlimited data

Yah I know. Can you try this? Create a folder on the harddisk in your Mi Router name say "Movies". Then can you check whether can you see this "Movies" folder from your Mi TV?

I tried but cannot. Mi TV only can see folders with name in Chinese.

It's more convenient and cheaper than buying a NAS to do the job though.
