After flashing the padavan firmware, does original xiaomi wifi app on phone still able to access the usb drive? And does offline download on xiaomi wifi app still usable?

xiaomi 'mode' will gone
this router no longer attached to xiaomi after flashing to padavan

Thanks for your reply. Is it possible to download file offline through phone(meaning i dont need to use laptop to download the file)?

i saw torrent setting at usb application
but i donno how to use it because i use my NAS to download torrent

i dont know about direct download

I think I'm going to get one of these. So cheap. Especially like the separate 2.4 & 5Ghz antennas.

what mtu size u guys put in? 1492 seem doesn't work after ping www.tp-link.com -f -l 1492 test, max only 1440. btw, i'm using maxi$ 30Mbps.

this is why i buy xiaomi, cheap and give me dual band wifi
also 2.4ghz signal better than my asus Rt-12N

Anyone can give a review on the wireless repeater bridging performance? Any gooding on 2.5 and 5ghz? Or comparison with other brands.

I'm thinking of buying this and use as repeater instead of buying a dedicated wireless extender as I heard those wireless extender can't handle multi clients well.

The requirement is to repeat wifi signal from unifi at first floor by installing this at ground floor where the signal was still decent.

Can't wait till it's officially sold here. Hope the price will be friendly.

Hi, what's the equivalent of this router with other asus models?
Also, can get full speed when running with openvpn client?

i long time wanna buy this but because of the fast ethernet port i had to pass.

True, true. But if <RM100, I don't mind. Would have been perfect if it was gigabit.

maybe they will come out with new gigabit router in the future

Anyone can provide insights on this?

All I know the one who handle is the router
So if your router is good, should can handle many client
The repeater just give a boost signal

Not true, the router handles connections and routing. Let's say 10000 connections. Could be 100 clients x 100 connections each or 10 x 1000. The repeater, in addition to acting as a repeater back to the base station, is also acting as an AP to registered wifi devices. Some APs just can't handle too many, maybe 10, 20, 40 or 80. It matters because the AP does more than just boost a signal, it manages collision avoidance and retransmission to each and every device.

Having said that I'm sure the MiR3 can handle anything thrown at it in a typical residential environment.

How stable is the padavan firmware so far?
Any issues?

Today Xiaomi first Premium Reseller Store in Malaysia just officially open at Queensbay Mall,Penang.And they have sell this router,
this router RM149 but only white colour.

i flashed mine after using the stock FW for a week

it feels 'a little bit' more responsive on surfing, there's only about 10 connected devices at home so the router is having a constant low load, got this router just to have the 5G band (replacing my old RT12 UHP with Tomato USB firmware) at a bloody good price (paid RM95, so I cant complain )

wifi coverage on 2.4G is definitely wider, router's placed inside a store room at the back of a normal double storey house, i used to not be able to get any signals if i park my car opposite the street, now i'm getting about 2 bars (of 4) of signal on that spot

5G coverage improvement unknown, this is my first AC router

Thanks man, how's openvpn client running on padavan?
Can get full speed?
