i find out using Fixed TX Rate Link Mode to capped the internet speed
but the speed like max only less than 5 mbps

your means need to flash ddwrt into pavadan firmware and qos?

I wonder if this cute router could replace my Archer c7

Problem is my C7 cant use 5Ghz coz will drop the wifi line after sometime, need to reboot router to get it up again, then down again. Using 2.4Ghz mode only works perfectly fine.

Another issue is ipv6 wont work on c7.

Does this router support usb printer server?

Do you have the latest commits or the older one before updating to commit 9cdd85a?

Hi,

Ok, I'm giving up, my Mi mini doesn't work :/

I've followed the tutorial, am succesfully running the Paragon version  version MI-3_3.4.3.9-099_9cdd85a.trx. Set up login, password, VLAN 500, all check.

Admin panel shows it's connected, but there's still no internet. When I plug back the cable to original TM router, internet works. I've cloned MAC address from TM router, but still no internet. Tried with IPTV port on and off, to no avail.

My setup is Huawei HG-655a as modem, from which cable from LAN1 goes to wifi router. Default is TM's L7-N-R2000.

Weird thing is when router connects, they have different DNS - TM one has Unifi's DNSs, while Xiaomi has... something

Any ideas what I might be missing?

Password - Hmm. Maybe because this is really old unifi setup? Like 4 of 5 yrs? That's why the pass is only 10 chars. If I change even one letter, router cannot connect so it must be correct

When router is connected, and my comp is connected to mi router, I tried to ping 8.8.8.8  (google dns) (thus skipping weird dnses) but I instantly get packets dropped.

Damn I can telnet to router but what should I be checking?

Thank you for reading!

Hi Muncheno: can you pls guide me in settinng up VPN on my Mini ? after so much of struggle i managed to install Padavan using this Guide. http://wifika.ru/proshivka-routera-xiaomi-...n-ili-asus.html

it is really helpful.

I would like to know how to set up VPN Server in Padavan...

Thanks in advance.

Hello, can someone guide me how to install padavan on xiaomi mi wifi 3? I just bought 2 day ago untill now i dont know to figure out. Please help me.

Follow this guide, http://wifika.ru/proshivka-routera-xiaomi-...n-ili-asus.html
But be careful, use appropriate file for WiFi 3 router.  Otherwise procedure is same.  Only this method worked best for me without fail.
It might help you also.

Hi muncheno,  that link for VPN setup didn't help me much.  I was lost in the amount of information that is provided there.
Can u guide me in setting up VPN pls.
I am using 1&1 DSL Internet in Germany,  they have provided me a WiFi router and I have to use this router for Internet. 
Now my question is, from this router I used cat6 data cable to connect to xiaomi wifi mini.  Regarding the IP address for mini and also forwarding the Internet through the VPN in mini, I want to use that secure Internet for the rest of devices at home(TV,  laptop, Kodi, av receiver and mobile phones) .  So that I don't have to bother about running VPN in every single device and also to view geo unblocked content viewing without ads by protecting my identity and moderate protection from hackers...

With so much advantages, I would definitely do a vpn setup on xiaomi mini, but the procedure explained there is too technical for my expertise.

Pls either you or anyone here experts help me once setup vpn and make things simple and easier. 

Can you tell me how often I should do a check up of the config files or I mean renewal of certificates keys etc..... It's all new for me. Sorry for being so noob.

Thanks for your help

Your setup, Is it like below?
1&1 DSL ISP  ---> WIFI router (1&1 router) ---(CAT6)---->Xiaomi Mini

If yes, I'm not sure the setup will work for you, I'm not sure which port is needed for port forwarding in the WIFI router to allow VPN services. Secondly, if Xiaomi router setup as AP, the options for VPN and firewall is not available anymore.

i have an Internet from 1&1, they have provided a router, from there i access Internet on many devices. i want to connect my Xiaomi wifi mini router to use it as a VPN source . From the Xiaomi through VPN i want to use internet both as wifi and wired. but with an vpn IP. that means i want to change my IP and block the Ads.

Can you guide me pls ?

1&1 router > Xiaomi(VPN- using Padavan) > WiFi > Laptop+Kodi+TV+AVR+Mobile.

What do i use as Username and password ? which IP Address do i use ?

pls be more specific and in detail. Thanks

Hi, but why should I replace 1&1 router?  I think I may not get into Internet without it. Will try.

Also, why only pptp,  why not I can choose open vpn?  I heard openvpn is faster and better, right?

Regarding the IP address assigning,  can I use arbitrary in address like 192.168.1.50-70?  Or should I go with what the firmware has suggested like 10.0.8.0?  It's little confusing.

Can I also do like this that I get a fully functional openvpn configuration from Windows and just copy paste all the necessary info into padavan vpn?  Does it work actually? 

Can I choose UK ip address or Sweden which is nearby my place.. Also can you guide me in installing ad blocker in padavan pls.

Thanks so much.  I really appreciate that atleast you are responding to my queries. Thanks buddy.

Seeking advice from fellow lowyat networking sifus on my scenario below.

-Subscribed to Unifi 30mbps
-Main router ASUS AC68U - AC 1900 with Gigabit Ethernet
-Second router XiaoMi Router 3 - AC 1200 with 10/100 Ethernet

Trying to decide whether I should set up the xiaomi as access point on second floor of my house (LAN cable ready) or should I just go cable free and set it up as a WiFi Repeater at the staircase as it can receive the full bar 2.4ghz signal from the AC68U.

The bandwidth will be halved from 300Mbps to 150Mbps due to Repeater mode, but if I set up as Access Point over LAN, its going to be capped at 100Mbps anyway due to XiaoMi's WAN port speed at 10/100, not even mentioning my internet speed is only 30Mbps at max.

When searching uncle google, it seems that most sites still recommend AP mode than repeater mode but I cant get the logic since halving the bandwidth via repeater mode is still having higher bandwith than the AP over LAN.

Or are there other benefits such as stability? Streaming
more smooth etc? My usage is typically client device connecting to internet directly as well as apple airplay to apple tv, i dont use file sharing over wifi/NAS/USB harddisk etc.

Seems to me that cutting the cable is more convenient but really hope sifus can enlighten me.

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

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?

hi
i forget my pandavan root password
can any ppl know how to retrieve that password?
cause i plan to install transmission and play on it

already change
but forget the password > <

i am using xiaomi router 3
