At the Xiaomi Mi 11 flagship launch earlier today, Xiaomi officially launched the first high-end new router that supports “Wi-Fi 6 Enhanced” technology. The router dubbed Xiaomi Router AX6000 has a wireless rate of 6000 megabytes, which is the highest rate in the current Xiaomi router series.

The router also comes with support for 4K QAM and 2500M full-speed network port and other technologies and configurations, claiming to bring a speed experience different from previous Wi-Fi 6 routers.

First of all, WiFi6 enhanced technology further supports 4×4 160MHz bandwidth, which can make the network speed of Xiaomi Mi 11 and other terminal devices that support this frequency band. Compared with the current mainstream WiFi 6 4×4 80MHz bandwidth, the bandwidth of this current version is doubled and also offers multi-device connectivity.

Secondly, the Mi Router AX6000 is also the world’s first to support the most advanced 4K QAM high-speed transmission technology so far. It can further compress data density and increase the amount of data transmitted at the same time by 20% compared to the previous generation of 1024 QAM. Using Xiaomi router AX6000 with 4K QAM devices such as Xiaomi 11, the network speed can be accelerated by another level.

In terms of hardware ports, the Xiaomi Router AX6000 is equipped with a 2500M full-speed network port. The current household broadband has a trend of surpassing Gigabit. Compared with the Gigabit Ethernet port of traditional routers, the 2500M Ethernet port can better meet the needs of users for broadband upgrades in the next few years.

At the same time, the network port also supports WAN/LAN switching. When using the LAN port mode, it can be combined with a NAS high-speed family private cloud disk, and the high-speed WiFi 6 network can play high-definition videos smoothly.

The Xiaomi Router AX6000 also performs very well in signal coverage and stability. Through six independent signal amplifiers and Xiaomi Mesh networking, it can cope with various complex house types and achieve full house coverage without dead ends.

The router features a dedicated chip from Qualcomm which can provide a more stable network environment. The six independent signal amplifiers built into the Mi Router AX6000 can effectively enhance the signal transmission power and improve the signal reception sensitivity. The signal of the router can pass through the wall better, and the coverage is wider. A single router can also easily cover a large three-bedroom apartment.

In the face of multi-layered houses, the Mi Router AX6000 supports Xiaomi Mesh networking, which can easily handle various super-large houses and upper and lower multi-layer houses. The device can automatically roam between multiple routers seamlessly, and you can walk and play without getting stuck.

As the network hub of the smart home, the Mi Router AX6000 can also bring a convenient experience unique to the Xiaomi AIoT ecosystem. The router comes with 512MB of RAM and supports simultaneous access of 248 devices.

Also, you can configure access to the network without entering a password. After the router changes the Wi-Fi password, the new password will also be synchronized to all Xiaomi smart devices that support the Xiaomi ChangKai Connect function. The devices use the new password to automatically connect to the router without resetting the network configuration one by one.

In addition, the Xiaomi router AX6000 can also intelligently identify Xiaomi/Redmi phones and open exclusive acceleration channels in gaming scenarios. This significantly reduces game delays and freezes.

As for the pricing, the Mi Router AX6000 is priced at 599 yuan (~$91) and is presently on reservation in China. The device will be available for sale at 10:00 am on January 8.
