Wow didnt know padavan caters for 5ghz repeater mode. Very eager to try that out but need to take a leap of faith first for the not so straightforward flashing process haha.

Can sifu share any concerns if thats the intended set up (5ghz repeater) compared to LAN AP? Congestion? Stability etc? And when repeated over 5ghz, does xiaomi retransmit over 5ghz only or both 2.4/5 as well?

Greatz to know you don't need additional router for your home.

Just to answer you question here, on 5gz repeater mode - I find it is very stable for the my Xiaomi Mini.
If I were having a direct sight between router in a distance of 3M, they always stay linking at 867mbps.
The setup is linking or repeating over 5ghz and sharing to devices on 2.4ghz. Of coz sharing on 5ghz is also possible same time, but it is connected directly to main router.

Then getting a bit of fluctuation with link speed 4XX-867mbps on my another tested setup, the main router was in the living room and my Xiaomi Mini in the last room space apart around 7-8 meters with 1 wall and door in between.
With these setup 5ghz for linking routers and running on 2.4Ghz for devices, I manage to speed around 4X-5Xmbps on speedtest.
This is as good as connecting to main router at 2.4g wifi.

guys just wondering... a few question:

1. if I want to use this xiaomi router as my access point, do I need to go flash a new firmware or I can use the stock firmware ?
2. currently having the TP-link Archer c5 from unifi... is the xiaomi router better than the TP-link ? should I make the xiaomi router as the main and turn the Archer C5 to access point or the other way ?

thanks for all the help

Ans for:-
Q1) Yes for customs firmware, if you want to use Xiaomi router as main router (access point). Default firmware doesn't support VLAN tagging.

Q2) I don't see the need of changing the Archer C5 as I read reviews from most ppl in Lowyat are satisfy with it performance.

For Xiaomi mini router on default firmware is not as stable when come to 5ghz wifi and Xiaomi Mi-3 is more stable.
However with customs firmware like Pavadan here, it is extremely stable and my guess is >archer C5.
Of coz, it you looking for reasons to change, then Xiaomi Mini on Pavadan give you additional more function such as VPN, bandwidth monitoring, download manager and etc.

im thinking the same.. i got TP-link Archer C5 for Unifi.. but in dun know why.. thic C5 always sudden hang/restart on daily basis.. thinking on using Mi router as well...

No idea on how to resolve it.
Are you having Xiaomi Mini?
If yes, maybe can boot to Breeder recovery mode to reset or reflash firmware?

I suspect you need use the Developer ROM/firmware and flash it using the USB drive with hard reset method. Then flash again padavan with the existing procedure using Prometheus.


Good luck.

To be honest here, I not experience with Maxis broadband setup.

I have only tried on unifi which using vlan tagging at ViD500 for internet and ViD600 for IPTV.

As for Maxis it is using VID621 and you should able to plug indirect to BTU LAN port 2.

Lastly, I'm sorry, I not able to help as I'm in Penang.
Maybe other user here can help you. If you will to spend, I would recommend you go for other off the shelves router that support maxis, example Asus.
