Network Specifications

Type
Router

Type

The devices we encounter are standalone routers, routers with built-in modems, and mobile routers.

A router requires a separate modem and distributes the connection to multiple devices via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, but cannot connect directly to the internet. A modem/router combines a modem and router in one device, connects directly to the internet provider, and distributes the connection to the local network. A mobile router, on the other hand, uses a SIM card and mobile data to create a portable Wi-Fi hotspot, ideal for use outside the home or in areas without a fixed connection.

Router

Plain router (without modem). The router is a device to which other devices (e.g. computer, mobile, TV) connect either wirelessly or with a cable, and it shares internet access with them. It receives internet access through a separate device called a modem.
Maximum Wireless Speed
1800 Mbps

Maximum Wireless Speed

Theoretical maximum speed with a wirelessly connected device primarily used for marketing purposes. The speed of each connected device depends on factors such as distance, obstacles, the number of other devices connected, the number of other networks in the same area, etc.
Maximum LAN Speed
1000 Mbps

Maximum LAN Speed

The maximum speed that the modem/router can offer to devices connected to it via ethernet cable.

1000
The 1000Mbps are mainly important in professional environments where the transfer of large files (e.g. high-definition videos) is a frequent occurrence. Note that all involved devices must support this speed, otherwise data transmission will be limited to the speed of the slowest device.
Portable Hotspot
No

Portable Hotspot

Mobile routers with built-in battery so you can use them anywhere.

These mobile routers have a SIM card slot for wireless internet access through 3G/4G mobile networks.
Wi-Fi Generation
Wi‑Fi 6

Wi-Fi Generation

The Wi-Fi generation is a more user-friendly term for networking standards that affect maximum Wi-Fi speed, distance, sensitivity to obstacles, etc.

Wi‑Fi 6
The most modern Wi-Fi standard that offers speeds up to 40% faster than Wi-Fi 5, coordinates communication with connected devices to consume less battery, and performs better in environments with multiple Wi-Fi devices. Ideal for homes with many smart devices. Compatible with all previous generations.
Network Standards
IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11 b/g/n, IEEE 802.11ac, IEEE 802.11ax, IEEE 802.3ab, IEEE 802.3/3u

Network Standards

The device supports various networking standards that affect the maximum Wi-Fi speed, distance, sensitivity to obstacles, etc. This information is also reflected in the more user-friendly Wi-Fi generation. It is recommended to choose a Wi-Fi 5 (IEEE 802.11ac) or Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) device.

IEEE 802.11 b/g/n

The older Wi-Fi standard, known as Wi-Fi 4, is significantly slower than Wi-Fi 5 (IEEE 802.11ac) and Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax).

It is recommended for use with few devices and for applications that do not require high speeds. For most users, it would be preferable to choose a Wi-Fi 5 or 6 device according to their needs. Each newer generation is compatible with devices that support a previous one.

IEEE 802.11ac
The most common Wi-Fi standard, known as Wi-Fi 5, is significantly faster than Wi-Fi 4 (IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n).

Wi-Fi 5 can currently meet the needs of most users, but there is now the next generation Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) which offers the ability to connect many more devices to serve the increasingly smart devices in a home.

Each newer generation is compatible with devices that support some previous one.
IEEE 802.11ax
The most modern Wi-Fi standard, also known as Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax), offers speeds up to 40% faster than Wi-Fi 5, coordinates communication with connected devices to consume less battery, and performs better in environments with multiple Wi-Fi devices. Ideal for homes with many smart devices. Compatible with all previous generations.

Security

Encryption Protocols
WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal

Encryption Protocols

The security protocols supported by the device for encrypting data transmitted wirelessly and protecting against third-party connections to your network.

The first protocol was WEP, which was replaced by WPA, which in turn evolves into generations with each generation having a corporate and home version. Anything older than WPA2 is not considered secure.

It is recommended that the device support at least WPA2-Personal (PSK) for home use.

WPA-Personal
The WPA protocol was a temporary significant improvement over WEP but still vulnerable and outdated. It has now been replaced by WPA 2. WPA-Personal is intended for home use sacrificing security, compared to WPA-Enterprise, for easier installation, using the PSK certification process (pre-shared keys).
WPA2-Personal
Replace WPA in 2004 with AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) technology, which is approved by the US government for confidential documents. It is considered safe for home use. 2. WPA2-Personal is intended for home use, sacrificing security compared to WPA2-Enterprise for easier installation, using the PSK (pre-shared keys) certification process.
MAC Address Filtering
No

MAC Address Filtering

MAC (media access control) address filtering is the ability of a device to allow specific devices to connect based on their unique MAC address, while excluding any device with a MAC address that has not been defined as acceptable.

Extras

Virtual Private Network (VPN)
No

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

The device has the ability to set up a VPN (Virtual Private Network) so that traffic from all devices on our network passes through it. 2. The VPN acts as an intermediary between us and the rest of the internet. This way, we can give the impression that we are geographically located in another country and the pages we visit see the VPN address as the visitor's address, not ours. 3. This provides us with anonymity and access to content with geographic restrictions (e.g. some YouTube videos are only available in certain countries, the Netflix catalog is different depending on the country, etc.). 4. VPN services are usually paid for by subscription.
VoIP
No
Mesh
Yes

Mesh

It is a complete home WiFi system with multiple access points designed to eliminate dead zones and provide seamless WiFi throughout your home with higher speeds and more devices.

    I connected two devices into a mesh network and now I have a stable and consistent wifi connection at home. The wireless connection of the routers in the mesh was a breeze through the mi wifi app. Finally, I got rid of the repeaters. Everything is fine.

    It has stable wifi without interruptions. But that's about it. I didn't see any other improvement compared to another cheaper router I have tried, maybe except for the mesh feature. I would recommend everyone to download the Chinese firmware as there is a significant difference in both range and speed.

    It is a very good Router in terms of performance and what I have noticed is that it has reduced ping. Additionally, you can manage your network to see which devices are connected to it and increase its security as it supports WPA 3. Finally, it is definitely worth its price, but its major drawback is its range as it has the same or slightly better range than the speedport plus, resulting in not covering my entire 100sqm house, so I need to use an extender for the rest of the house

    I plugged it into the zyxel vmg8623-t50b from wind. My goal is to buy another one for a mesh network through a powerline adapter. Also, the WiFi 6 played a role in the purchase. It doesn't lose any speed in speedtests, I get the full 100 because everything is wired, and in the future, I will use this for the wired mesh, otherwise there will be a loss of speed. It is a very cost-effective proposal for a mesh network by buying two of these devices. The only thing I didn't like is that in order to work with older devices, WiFi 6 needs to be disabled and it needs to work on WiFi 5. WiFi 5 & 6 don't work simultaneously. (I also bought a second router, connected it exactly as described above, and it works perfectly. I set the WiFi Range to high from the Xiaomi app and that solved the problem of having to change networks every time I was in a different room.) It requires a close-range wireless connection first to find the other one, and then I connected it with a cable where I wanted it.

    To start off, I should write that it is a router and not a modem.
    The value for money is incredible.
    In a central point of the house, it distributes 100 square meters in all the house at 5 GHz.
    From the provider, I have 120 Mbps upload download.
    With Wi-Fi, I am getting the full speed for the first time.
    There is the possibility for anyone who wants to have the 2.4 GHz band open at the same time.
    The software it has, either through the browser or through the Android application, is extremely user-friendly.
    I decided to switch and I will go for Xiaomi because the company's modem router WiFi stopped working.

    The router is excellent. Compared to the modem/routers provided by the providers, it is far better. Please note that it is only a router, which means you need the modem that comes with the connection to connect it to the internet and then pass it on to the router to distribute it to the devices. Therefore, depending on your initial modem, you may need to make some settings to be able to connect it.

    We had 32 devices (17 of which were smart bulbs) connected to the Vodafone router, with a 50 Mbps line. Everything on the network, computers, mobiles, printers, air conditioners, POS, tablets, was slow! With a Speed Test, I could barely get 4-5 Mbps with a sync of 49 Mbps! Since the Xiaomi AX1800 took over the network (the other router now only acts as a modem), it's like day and night! Everything responds quickly, no more lagging or waiting, I now consistently get 45-47 Mbps.
    We simply don't often realize how important it is to have a good router (this one is ALSO cheap!) in the network, especially now that devices with network access are multiplying rapidly! If you experience lagging and delays in your network and have more than 8-10 devices connected simultaneously, consider upgrading your provider's router with something like this. This one is also the most affordable that supports WiFi6 (812.11ax), making it future-proof...

The maximum speed that the modem/router can offer to devices connected to it via ethernet cable.

1000
The 1000Mbps are mainly important in professional environments where the transfer of large files (e.g. high-definition videos) is a frequent occurrence. Note that all involved devices must support this speed, otherwise data transmission will be limited to the speed of the slowest device.
Portable Hotspot
No

Portable Hotspot

Mobile routers with built-in battery so you can use them anywhere.

These mobile routers have a SIM card slot for wireless internet access through 3G/4G mobile networks.
Wi-Fi Generation
Wi‑Fi 6

Wi-Fi Generation

The Wi-Fi generation is a more user-friendly term for networking standards that affect maximum Wi-Fi speed, distance, sensitivity to obstacles, etc.

Wi‑Fi 6
The most modern Wi-Fi standard that offers speeds up to 40% faster than Wi-Fi 5, coordinates communication with connected devices to consume less battery, and performs better in environments with multiple Wi-Fi devices. Ideal for homes with many smart devices. Compatible with all previous generations.
Network Standards
IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11 b/g/n, IEEE 802.11ac, IEEE 802.11ax, IEEE 802.3ab, IEEE 802.3/3u

Network Standards

The device supports various networking standards that affect the maximum Wi-Fi speed, distance, sensitivity to obstacles, etc. This information is also reflected in the more user-friendly Wi-Fi generation. It is recommended to choose a Wi-Fi 5 (IEEE 802.11ac) or Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) device.

IEEE 802.11 b/g/n

The older Wi-Fi standard, known as Wi-Fi 4, is significantly slower than Wi-Fi 5 (IEEE 802.11ac) and Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax).

It is recommended for use with few devices and for applications that do not require high speeds. For most users, it would be preferable to choose a Wi-Fi 5 or 6 device according to their needs. Each newer generation is compatible with devices that support a previous one.

IEEE 802.11ac
The most common Wi-Fi standard, known as Wi-Fi 5, is significantly faster than Wi-Fi 4 (IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n).

Wi-Fi 5 can currently meet the needs of most users, but there is now the next generation Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) which offers the ability to connect many more devices to serve the increasingly smart devices in a home.

Each newer generation is compatible with devices that support some previous one.
IEEE 802.11ax
The most modern Wi-Fi standard, also known as Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax), offers speeds up to 40% faster than Wi-Fi 5, coordinates communication with connected devices to consume less battery, and performs better in environments with multiple Wi-Fi devices. Ideal for homes with many smart devices. Compatible with all previous generations.
Wi-Fi Frequency
Dual Band (2.4 & 5GHz)

Wi-Fi Frequency

The frequencies in which the device can transmit. Most modern routers transmit on two (2.4 & 5GHz) or even three frequencies. Additional frequencies allow for faster speeds on more devices, with the biggest difference observed from one frequency to the other.

Dual Band (2.4 & 5GHz)
They transmit signals on two frequencies. They offer higher speeds compared to singles and connect more devices.

Security

Encryption Protocols
WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal

Encryption Protocols

The security protocols supported by the device for encrypting data transmitted wirelessly and protecting against third-party connections to your network.

The first protocol was WEP, which was replaced by WPA, which in turn evolves into generations with each generation having a corporate and home version. Anything older than WPA2 is not considered secure.

It is recommended that the device support at least WPA2-Personal (PSK) for home use.

WPA-Personal
The WPA protocol was a temporary significant improvement over WEP but still vulnerable and outdated. It has now been replaced by WPA 2. WPA-Personal is intended for home use sacrificing security, compared to WPA-Enterprise, for easier installation, using the PSK certification process (pre-shared keys).
WPA2-Personal
Replace WPA in 2004 with AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) technology, which is approved by the US government for confidential documents. It is considered safe for home use. 2. WPA2-Personal is intended for home use, sacrificing security compared to WPA2-Enterprise for easier installation, using the PSK (pre-shared keys) certification process.
MAC Address Filtering
No

MAC Address Filtering

MAC (media access control) address filtering is the ability of a device to allow specific devices to connect based on their unique MAC address, while excluding any device with a MAC address that has not been defined as acceptable.

Extras

Virtual Private Network (VPN)
No

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

The device has the ability to set up a VPN (Virtual Private Network) so that traffic from all devices on our network passes through it. 2. The VPN acts as an intermediary between us and the rest of the internet. This way, we can give the impression that we are geographically located in another country and the pages we visit see the VPN address as the visitor's address, not ours. 3. This provides us with anonymity and access to content with geographic restrictions (e.g. some YouTube videos are only available in certain countries, the Netflix catalog is different depending on the country, etc.). 4. VPN services are usually paid for by subscription.
VoIP
No
Mesh
Yes

Mesh

It is a complete home WiFi system with multiple access points designed to eliminate dead zones and provide seamless WiFi throughout your home with higher speeds and more devices.

    I connected two devices into a mesh network and now I have a stable and consistent wifi connection at home. The wireless connection of the routers in the mesh was a breeze through the mi wifi app. Finally, I got rid of the repeaters. Everything is fine.

    It has stable wifi without interruptions. But that's about it. I didn't see any other improvement compared to another cheaper router I have tried, maybe except for the mesh feature. I would recommend everyone to download the Chinese firmware as there is a significant difference in both range and speed.

    It is a very good Router in terms of performance and what I have noticed is that it has reduced ping. Additionally, you can manage your network to see which devices are connected to it and increase its security as it supports WPA 3. Finally, it is definitely worth its price, but its major drawback is its range as it has the same or slightly better range than the speedport plus, resulting in not covering my entire 100sqm house, so I need to use an extender for the rest of the house

    I plugged it into the zyxel vmg8623-t50b from wind. My goal is to buy another one for a mesh network through a powerline adapter. Also, the WiFi 6 played a role in the purchase. It doesn't lose any speed in speedtests, I get the full 100 because everything is wired, and in the future, I will use this for the wired mesh, otherwise there will be a loss of speed. It is a very cost-effective proposal for a mesh network by buying two of these devices. The only thing I didn't like is that in order to work with older devices, WiFi 6 needs to be disabled and it needs to work on WiFi 5. WiFi 5 & 6 don't work simultaneously. (I also bought a second router, connected it exactly as described above, and it works perfectly. I set the WiFi Range to high from the Xiaomi app and that solved the problem of having to change networks every time I was in a different room.) It requires a close-range wireless connection first to find the other one, and then I connected it with a cable where I wanted it.

    To start off, I should write that it is a router and not a modem.
    The value for money is incredible.
    In a central point of the house, it distributes 100 square meters in all the house at 5 GHz.
    From the provider, I have 120 Mbps upload download.
    With Wi-Fi, I am getting the full speed for the first time.
    There is the possibility for anyone who wants to have the 2.4 GHz band open at the same time.
    The software it has, either through the browser or through the Android application, is extremely user-friendly.
    I decided to switch and I will go for Xiaomi because the company's modem router WiFi stopped working.

    The router is excellent. Compared to the modem/routers provided by the providers, it is far better. Please note that it is only a router, which means you need the modem that comes with the connection to connect it to the internet and then pass it on to the router to distribute it to the devices. Therefore, depending on your initial modem, you may need to make some settings to be able to connect it.

    We had 32 devices (17 of which were smart bulbs) connected to the Vodafone router, with a 50 Mbps line. Everything on the network, computers, mobiles, printers, air conditioners, POS, tablets, was slow! With a Speed Test, I could barely get 4-5 Mbps with a sync of 49 Mbps! Since the Xiaomi AX1800 took over the network (the other router now only acts as a modem), it's like day and night! Everything responds quickly, no more lagging or waiting, I now consistently get 45-47 Mbps.
    We simply don't often realize how important it is to have a good router (this one is ALSO cheap!) in the network, especially now that devices with network access are multiplying rapidly! If you experience lagging and delays in your network and have more than 8-10 devices connected simultaneously, consider upgrading your provider's router with something like this. This one is also the most affordable that supports WiFi6 (812.11ax), making it future-proof...
