“Mi AX3600: Xiaomi’s Best Wi-Fi 6 Router”
In this video, I will unbox, setup, and perform a full review of the Mi Router AX3600 AIoT WiFi6 router. I will unbox the router and show you how to set up the device using the Mi WiFi App as well as the Web Interface. I will also go through all the features of the router. I will perform speed tests and range tests, and compare it to the Huawei AX3 Pro using iPerf Bandwidth measurement tool. The AX3600 supports the 160MHz bandwidth, Game Acceleration, and Mesh Networking like the Huawei AX3 Pro Router.
In the future, I will make a Mesh Network between the Xiaomi Mi AX1800 and Redmi AX5 Wi-Fi 6 Routers, and conduct a speed and range test of the entire mesh network.

Mr. DSmart, Excellent review! Your reviews are very specific, brief to the point and cover all the important details. I am impressed! I have several Xiaomi devices and this router looks like another winner! Keep up the good work. :)
Thank you for your comments.
I have researched about mesh support of AX3600. I found out that it support 4 mesh nodes. Is it mean one AX3600 can connect to 4 AX3600 nodes, total 5 AX3600 devices? please clarify. Thank you
can i connect other brand mesh router on this ax3600 using the mesh feature? is there a compatibility issues?
I just bought the Huawei AX3 pro yesterday hopefully it Works as expected in Indonesia
I hope it works too. You can watch my setup and review of AX3 Pro for the steps and features: ruclips.net/video/BfDVYcS5Go8/видео.html. Thanks.
DSmartLife the router is arrived, but the internet speed is super slow I've check speed test, it shows only 0,05 Mbps do you have solutions for it?
Hello DSmart! Very helpful review, I wanted to ask you a question: If I push and hold the reset button on the router, will it restart AND reset everything back to factory setting? I had no idea why my router acted up, it showed the upper orange light, so I tried resetting it with the button. After that I had to set it up like a new one again....
Also do you have any idea why it showed the orange light so suddenly?
Good review mate... finally proper speed test stats ... i have the ax3 pro but tempted to get the ax3600 .. do you think its worth it for so much bigger device.. double the antenna's but not a huge difference in speed ... have you had a chance to test with a 160mz device yet
Sorry, I haven't got a 160Mhz device to test with. I think the max speed will retatively be there same but the range is better with AX3600 with more signal amplifiers. But since you already have a Huawei router, and if you need more WiFi coverage, I think you better go with the same brand that have support for a mesh connection for coverage extension. Thanks.
@@DSmartLife my friend needed new router so i will give him my ax3 pro.. i have used your link to buy the ax3600 ... hopefully you get the 10%
@@vick82sydney Thanks. I hope you get it soon.
Hi. I have Huawei B535 router (sim router) can I use XiomiA3600 or ax3 pro? Please reply me. Many thanks advance
can the xiaomi ax3600 be used as a bridge between the movistar router and the huawei ax3 pro?
Thanks buddy. Do you have the huawei ax3 dual core version? seems like it doesnt have any reviews in youtube because people only review the Pro version and I wanted to buy it, but I saw that the dual core version doesnt have any signal amplifier in the 5ghz network, and I would like to see the 5 ghz signal range test with the ax3 dual core and decide if its worth buying.
Sorry, I also only have the AX3 Pro version with quad core cpu. Thanks.
Hello my friend 🙏 please help me i decide to buy router for Extended or Repeater WiFi networks signal ((without cable LAN Ethernet or WAN) because not available on my house 🏠 . So my question is ( the Router (((Redmi AX6S */ Router Redmi AX6000 new version ))* is supported WiFi Repeater/ Extender ? Or not support 🙏
Hi, did You know if AX3600 supports VLAN Ethernet 802.1q encapsulation ?
Thanks
Thanks! Does this router have a OpenVPN server so I can get contact to home remotely?
There is no server option. But you can set up a vpn client thanks.
VPN gateway on hardware routers not is not recommended, because hardware routers have slow CPU for applications (VPN software)
dear sir, is this AQX3600 5G because we are going buy 5G phone soon? thanks
has this router supervectoring?
Hopefully you can do the new Huawei AX6 7000 MBPS router
Thanks ❤
SOLID GUIDE. THANK U MAN
Hi, I have 3 Xiaomi routers 2 AX6 and a AX3600 With global firmware, I can not make a mesh with the AX3600 as the main router, because the region it is in is Germany and the 2 AX6 have their region as china, do you have any way in which I could fix this.
Can I change the regions in any of these router so that they are in the same or is there any other fix. Thanks

Ax3 bottom is warmer because air gap is too small. Raising it few mm up will significantly help to cool it. I did, it is no more than normal warm. Warmest at locations of processors are about 42C with better air gap (room temp 26C). Ax3 is a good router at its prices.
Good tip, I will remember that, considering buying one of these.
Great videos. There are 2 things we should really thank you for. First is your videos that are really helpful and informative and secondly putting the time and effort to answer people questions on the comments.
Now I would really appreciate it if you could help me making a decision. I saw almost every review and comparison between these 3 routers: ax3600, ax6 and ax3 pro. Every review shows an advantage to a router and disadvantages of the other 2 which really doesn't help in making decision. So I would appreciate it if you can recommend based on my house layout. My family house is 3 floors and each floor is around 400-450 sqm and I have around 30 smart devices between smart switches, TV boxes, smart sockets, sensors, etc. None of them is from xiaomi
This is what I decided to do and I hope you can verify based on your experience:
1. Ax6 is exactly ax3600 without aIoT antenna so it should give relatively the same range and speed and number of connected devices right?
2. The AIoT antenna in the ax3600 doesn't help to connect these non xiaomi devices to the ax3600 exclusively through this antenna so it is like if it doesn't exist. Is that right?
3. The ax3 pro has slight lower coverage and speed than the other 2 although it has 4 antennas but the coverage difference doesn't justify paying the extra amount to get the ax3600 so 2x ax3 pro would do better job aren't they?
4- most of the reviews test the network speed and coverage using WiFi6 but most of our devices are not wifi 6 so what is the coverage and performance for non wifi6 devices?
5- which device would you recommend knowing all the previously mentioned case?
Thank you so much for your help
1. No, they aren't exactly the same. Even though the processor is the same, the difference comes in the network amplifiers. The network amplifiers in AX3600 are more powerful than the AX6.
2. Yes that is right. It is not needed for non Xiaomi devices.
3. Yes 2x AX3 pro might be better in coverage than a single AX3600. However for a good connectivity, it iwll be better to use an Ethernet cable between the two AX3 Pros. Note that International version of AX3 and AX3 Pro are not as powerful (Different hardware) as the one I have shown (Chinese Version).
4. Coverage will be the same in Wi-Fi 5 devices. The speed may be a little less though.
5. Since you have a 3 floor house and if you want to cover the entire area, at least 2 routers will be needed. 3 will be ideal for each floor. I would say AX6 or AX3 Pro will be good, considering the price. However currently the AX3600 also got a price cut I think, ahead of the AX6000 launch on 8th Jan.
Thanks.
I like your videos, they re very informative. I need your adice about something; i have main modem gets wan from fiber, and next to that there 3 cat6 cables reaches to 3 different rooms. Can i buy 2 pieces 1800ax and place them at different rooms and setup them as a access point? Is it possible to get seamless wifi roaming with them?
Hi, I think you can if you setup in Mesh networking in the AP mode. Please watch this tutorial video and let me know if you have any doubts. ruclips.net/video/F8c4V1_6eik/видео.html. Thanks.
Excelente recién estaba indeciso por cuál de los dos irmes y ahora veo que el Xiaomi es la pasta. Gracias muy buen video te ganaste un suscriptor mas

Es mejor el Xiaomi?
Thanks for making this concise review. One question, when enabling the Guest Wifi, can you set/change the network name?
The Guest WiFi SSID cannot be changed at the moment. I hope it's fixed soon. Thanks.
@@DSmartLife Hey man, I just followed your other video on how to upgrade to global firmware version, and I'm able to set the Guest WiFi SSID using the Mi WiFi app from playstore. But I had to chose UK region during inital setup of router.
@@jakvirtua5631 Thank you for letting me know. I'll also try again.
Hi. After watching your video I've bought AX3600. When I connect it with Xiaomi AX5 as a wireless mesh do the LAN ports give me also network connection or they are only for the LAN backhaul?
I have a garage where I need to connect with the switch but I do not have any Ethernet cable there. I don't need a great speed but just the few Mb, like 10-15Mb/s, for IoT devices and video intercom.
The WAN port is used for the LAN backhaul in the secondary router. And you can use the remaining 3 ports for connection to the network. You can connect your devices to the lan ports. Thanks.
Well done review, keep up the good work bro
Thank you for comment.
Hi I'd just like to know how do I switch from Chinese to English language that app
Hi, I can use it like wireless repeater, w/o cable? THANKS
Yes you can. Thanks.
Hi there, I just got an AX3600 and have a problem with setup due to the app display in Chinese, how can I get around this issue. Good video btw.
You can install the Mi WiFi App from App Store or Play Store, which is in English. You can see it up easily. If you have Android then you can also try the translated app and the download link is in the video description. Thanks.
what router is good for pc?
Hi, please question
Which one is better
( xiaomi ax6000 ) or ( Huawei CPE Pro 2 ) ?
Sorry I don't have the Huawei CPE Pro 2 to test. So i cannot compare. Thanks.
Sir what's the coverage of AX3600? What is the farthest from AX3600 that you can connect to it and have a decent connection?
If there are walls in between, its is not very far. As shown in my video, 2 walls seems OK, but it cannot reach the next floor after passing the two walls in 5GHz. 2.4GHz will cover more distance. Thanks.
Awesome review, thanks
Hello, the link to download the International firmware doesn't work anymore....can you please update it?
Copy link and paste direct in browser if RUclips Doesn't redirect. Link works!
How range in this router?
Hey can you let me know which one is best for range and speed?
or out of Xiaomi Redmi Router AX5 Wifi 6
#DSmartLife
The range/speed is like this: Mi AX3600>Redmi AX6>Redmi AX5=Mi AX1800. Thanks.
Exelente video
Great
Thank you for your support.
mine did not prove still same isp speed provider that i have can you please teach me on how i can see the speedtest ooakla of huawei ax3 pro. TIA
My ISP speed is 1Gbps. You cannot have increase in internet speed over your ISP speed even if you use Wifi 6 router. However your local network Bandwidth May be increased. Thanks.
Thanks and Good work!
Thank you for your support and comments. 🤗
should i buy the new xiaomi ax6 or huawei ax3 pro ??
i will use it as extender for wifi signal without cable.
for best coverage, stable connection, options and getting the full speed
.
.
does the chinese version work anywhere ? is there an option to change the language?
Thank you
I think both AX6 and AX3 pro can with as a WiFi extender. But I haven't tested AX6 yet. I ordered it and it's still on the way. AX3 Pro does quite well in the mesh with Honor Router 3 that I tested. I'm guessing repeater mode still be there same. And AX6 has 6 antennas, like AX3600, so it should also be good. The Chinese versions will work but can't change the language right now. Thanks.
@@DSmartLife thank you for your response,
when you set up the ax3 pro as wifi extender (without cable) it will be the same name and password as main router. my question is ..
Can i change the name of the extended wifi (use different ssid name) ?
can you please check that
thank you so mush
When you are connecting two AX3 Pro or Honor routers, then it will be in a Mesh networking as shown here: ruclips.net/video/W9BbOay1A2U/видео.html. In that case you cannot change the SSID. Mesh protocol will select the best router for your device. But if you have different brand routers, it will be just an extender. I haven't checked a standard Wi-Fi extender mode with other routers. I'll check if we can change the SSID and let you know. Thanks.
@@00zz44cc I have checked the WiFi Relay configuration in AX3 Pro and Honor Router 3. Yes you can have different SSIDs if the relay mode is not a Mesh. Thanks.
@@DSmartLife Thanks for your help, now I'm going to buy ax3 pro.
I like your channel and reviews 👍
the 5G suddenly not detect on my TV and my Laptop, but other laptop are detected, any clue? do I need set specific channel or else? I live in EU
Yes. Please set the WiFi channels according to your location as per the information given here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels. Thanks.
Dude. Is xiaomi x3600 can support tp link deco wifi mesh?
I do not think it will support TP Link Mesh. Xiaomi mentioned that the mesh is compatible with AX3600/1800 and Redmi AX routers. Thanks.
how many devices can connect on 2.4G at the same time. and can this router be suitable for smart home that most smart devices support 2.4G only.
This router can connect to up to 248 devices without any issues, in either 2.4/5GHz WiFi. It also has inbuilt AIoT service for Xiaomi Smart home devices, like quick detection and connection. Thanks.
Does it support higher bands for 5gzh
Yes it supports upto 160MHz bandwidth. If you are talking about WiFi channel, then yes it has a lot of Wireless channels you can select manually or automatic. Thanks.
Is the QOS of this differs from Huawei Ax3 Pro?
Can you make a video how to setup qos
Can you elaborate the functions you want me to explain in QoS? Both AX3600 and AX3 Pro have Bandwidth control etc. Let me know the details so that I can explain better. Thanks.
@@DSmartLife does the QoS needs app? I dont want to use app at all, can I?
What is your subscribed speed from your ISP?
I have a 1Gbps limited and a 100mbps unlimited connection to my place. Thanks.
Does the router support vlan tagging?
Sorry to say that there seem to be no native support for VLAN tagging in Xiaomi routers. Thanks.
Can You tell me was it chinese or global version? Chinese version has better antena power / range, global version is limited by EU regulations.
Mine was Chinese version. The hardware is the same, only the firmware is different. If you want Chinese firmware, you can just install it, irrespective of the hardware version. The download link is in the video description. Thanks.
What's the voltage range on the power adapter?
There input voltage is 100-240V AC universal and output is 12V DC 2A. Thanks.
@@DSmartLife Splendid. Thank you very much
Thanks!. btw, what's is the coverage area for this router?
It really depends on the space for have, like it has how many walls etc. It covers my 530sqft area well with many walls. But hard to reach next floor. From inside the rooms. If the router is placed in the balcony/corridor, then it can reach next floor. Thanks.
Which app version are you using 5.6.2 (stable) or 5.7.3( beta) for this video basically I just bought it and I'm now confused that what version to use for upgrading firmware.
I'll using the Stable version. You can upgrade the Firmware manually from the web interface. Please check my video here: ruclips.net/video/4mIyD2ADrAk/видео.html. I have given how to upgrade the Firmware and I have given the download links. Thanks
@@DSmartLife is it okay to upgrade using app bro
Yes you can do so, if the app is showing to upgrade to the latest 1.0.67 firmware version. Thanks.
Does it have port forwarding feature?
Yes it has. You can set it in the web interface of the router. Thanks.
@@DSmartLife thanks, would it be a better buy than Huawei ax3 pro?
That you have to decide based on your house size and your future plans. AX3600 has more range than AX3 Pro but it's not better than 2 routers in mesh. if you want to setup more routers in the future, you have to buy either Xiaomi or Huawei, coz they arent compatible with each other in a mesh. Both are good Routers. Thanks.
Does the Xioami router comes with inbuilt batter
No, there is no inbuilt battery. It's just a powerful WiFi6 3000mbps Router. You have to power it using an AC-DC 12V 2A Adapter. Thanks.
@Paulo Jorge Cruz Pereira Rodrigues Melo e Almeida Yeah that will be crazy. But sometimes a backup power supply is needed in some countries. So there are Router 12/24V UPS available in the market for that. Thanks for your comment.
Thanks for the comparison! Seems Qualcom has a better/cooler chipset. Good combination of chipset/hardware/software it seems.
Yes I think so too. The Qualcomm chipset in AX1800 and AX5 are also performing quite well thermally. Thanks for your comments.
Could AX3600 2.4G and 5G set in the same SSID ?
Yes you can set a single SSID. Thanks.
does it suport PPTP?
Yes it supports both PPTP and L2TP VPN client service to connect to a VPN server. Thanks.
Can we connect this router to WiFi 4 device and use it?
Yes you can. It is compatible with earlier protocols. Thanks.
@@DSmartLife thanks for the info,I booked one today 🙂
Inbuilt battery?
No, there is no inbuilt battery. It's just a powerful WiFi6 3000mbps Router. Thanks.
Can you compare the AX3600 Vs the AX1800?
Thank you for your comment. I tested recently and found that AX3600 is more powerful than AX1800, with more range and speed. I will do a comparison video in the future. Thanks.
@@DSmartLife Thank you very much!
Does it support PPPoE?
Yes it supports PPPoE. You can see it during the setup. Thanks.
@@DSmartLife Thank you.
You are just using a 5G phone. Your router is only reaching 39mbps. 12:38 time of your clip shows the proof.
global version available on aliexpress !!!
AX3600 Global version? Can you share the link? I can't find it. Thanks.
I checked but there is no mention of being a global version in the listing. The only review of the listing shows "Global Version" as an option but that option is no longer available. I have texted the seller and I will wait for a reply. Thanks.
@@DSmartLife my friend bought from this seller and it's global version here proof static.pepper.pl/live_pl/comments/content/XDJwA/5067445.jpg you can see system version is different than chinese
Wow this is great news. I hope we can get the global firmware 3.0.16 soon then. Thanks you for letting me know.
@@DSmartLife btw what's your latest firmware version? mine 1.0.227
are you a whatsapp user dude? if yes. do you find any delay in receiving or sending message with whatsapp with this router ? thanks !!
Yes I use WhatsApp. No, I didn't find any problem in using WhatsApp. Are you having some problem?
Xiaomi is fake Wifi6, only Huawei is "Wifi6 certified".
AX3600 have 4x4 antenna vs 2x2 for AX3 pro, it is normal that he goes faster, but it is bigger and more expensive.
I think you have been mistaken. Xiaomi AX3600 is WiFi6 certified. You can check the certificate here: certifications.prod.wi-fi.org/pdf/certificate/public/download?cid=WFA96567. Yes, the comparison was not fair due to the difference in specs and price, but currently I have only those two 160MHz routers for comparison. It was just for reference. I already compared the AX18000 vs AX3 Pro here: ruclips.net/video/BfDVYcS5Go8/видео.html, and AX3 Pro did better even though they are similarly priced. Thanks.
the Huawei AX3 Pro has WiFi 6 Plus. It works only with Huawei devices. That's a HUGE PLUS if you read the benefits of the PLUS.
