Great instruction. biggrin.gif

Anyway, how's the wireless performance on the ported Asus firmware as I know wireless performance is hit and miss on most non Xiaomi firmware.

i am yet to test both 2.4 and 5Ghz in detail.

I will report back once i did some bandwidth and stability test.

Great! Please share the wireless performance.

I am still stuck with Xiaomi stock firmware and having to use a VLAN switch for Unifi. sweat.gif

just did some testing

got weird results though

my router is at my living room.

the signal strength within the line of sight (few meters away) is about -40 dBm

furthest corners away from the router at 2nd floor is about -60 ~ -65 dBm

650MB within line of sight @ 3m25s (2.4G wireless mode N)
650MB within line of sight @ 2m06s (5G wireless mode N)

650MB room at 2nd floor directly above the router @ 2m50s (2.4G wireless mode N)
5G 650MB room at 2nd floor directly above the router @ 1m54s (5G wireless mode N)

the latency is stable for most places in my house (just standard double story house), except for the further corner away from the router.

I have no other comparisons, but It is much better than the router (D-Link L7-N-R2000) that TM provided though. 

It is also much better than vanilla OpenWRT firmware.

I calculated and it is around 41Mbit/s for 5Ghz 2m06s. hmm.gif

Do you have 802.11AC enabled as that's where the problem is.

there are 2 issues, i've AC enabled on router but the devices I test on don't support AC, secondly the pc that upload the file might be hit a bottleneck due to the hdd and network speed. I need to change my approach  to at least try to maximize the speed of N mode doh.gif

I just remember that the Xiaomi MiWiFi Mini only support Fast Ethernet. sweat.gif

Thanks for the great discovery anyway, I am going to try it out soon.
