As promised, Xiaomi-backed Redmi has today officially launched its new router in its home country China — Redmi AX5 Wi-Fi 6 router. This also marks the launch of the company’s first Wi-Fi 6 router.

The Redmi AX5 Wi-Fi 6 Router is priced at 229 yuan which roughly converts to $32. The device will be up for pre-orders in China from 10th June, i.e. tomorrow at 10:00 AM local time and will soon be available for purchase.

The new router comes with four independent signal amplifier antennas, increasing the signal strength by 4dB and increases the coverage by 50 percent. As per the company, it can download an HD movie in just eight seconds, at 1775Mbps speed, which is about 52 percent faster than Wi-Fi 5.

It also comes with support for Mesh Networking and Mixed Networking with Xiaomi’s own Wi-Fi 6 routers. For those who are unaware, Xiaomi has so far launched two Wi-Fi routers in the market this year — Mi Router AX1800 and Mi AIoT Router AX3600.

This Redmi AX5 Wi-Fi 6 Router comes powered by the Qualcomm‘s penta-core enterprise-class chipset, manufactured using the 14nm node process. It also includes an independent NPU for hardware-level acceleration.

The company has also confirmed that the device is optimized to connect with 128 devices, including smart home products. It’s also safe to assume that the settings on the router can be controlled or adjusted using a smartphone application.

Xiaomi has so far launched two Wi-Fi 6 routers in China under its Mi brand. Now, the company’s sub-brand Redmi is also set to launch its first Wi-Fi 6 router in the company’s home market China.

Redmi has today confirmed that the company will be launching the Redmi AX5 Wi-Fi 6 router in China at 10:00 AM local time tomorrow. So far, apart from the name, nothing is known about this device.

As mentioned above, Xiaomi has so far launched two Wi-Fi 6 routers in China — Mi Router AX1800 and Mi AIoT Router AX3600. While the former is priced at 299 yuan (approximately $46), the latter is priced at 5,99 yuan which is about $82.

Given that the products launched by the Redmi brand are priced lower in comparison to the products from Xiaomi. So, we expect the upcoming Redmi AX5 Wi-Fi 6 router to be priced accordingly in China.

While the device is getting launched in China tomorrow, we don’t expect to see it available in other regions anytime soon. Even the two routers from Xiaomi still haven’t been launched or made available for purchase outside China.

The Redmi brand has launched the Redmi AC2100 router in China in December last year, marking the company’s foray into the routers category. The upcoming Redmi AX5 Wi-Fi Router will be the second offering from the brand in China.
