Successfully flash my mi router 3 to padavan. now thinking to extend the WIFI signal. any recommended extender that support 5g?

Xiaomi Router 3 2.4ghz can output more than 500mbps? I'm a 50MBps unifi user

First of all you can't hit 500Mbps over 2.4GHz Wifi unless you have higher both router and adapter that has 256-QAM capability. So far, only router and adapter rated 802.11ac Wave 2 comes with this feature. Since you already purchase a 802.11ac, it's pointless to use 2.4GHz unless your 5GHz signal strength is too weak for reliable transmission.

There's no 50MBps yet in Malaysia, I think you are referring to 50Mbps right?

Oops sorry, yes 50Mbps~ Im somehow felt 5ghz strength is weak that is why~ I think router like TPLink Archer AC2600 at the specs shows that the 2.4ghz is up to 800mbps

Not just router you would need a adapter that with the same speed rating. So why don't you use a powerline for a reliable connection?

I can get about 93Mbps on 5GHz and about 80Mbps for 2.4GHz for mi router 3.
The only limitation is the WAN port is 100Mbps hence it will not go more 100Mbps which is not suitable for TIME 500Mbps if anyone is using that.

Perhaps you can get another mi router 3 to bridge at 5Ghz.

I think so too...thanks

Anyone tried the EEPROM patch?

You're welcome.

For my house which is double storey, I have 2 mi router 3 and Unifi 50Mbps. I use 5Ghz to bridge both AP. Then all devices connect to 2.4 Ghz. By doing that, I can get full speed on my extender as well. Otherwise the speed will cut into half.

It seems from the following recommendation that this router now supports Unifi with stock FW, correct?

hi guys i bought a 3rd party wifi extender to enhance the wifi coverage, however, noted thetr is no wps button on the mi router, how to link the wifi extender to mi router?

without custom firmware. if possible

maybe he use tm router and then route again using xiaomi router 3

I flashed the Mi Router 3 into Padavan and got it working with Unifi~ But there is one problem for me, my speed is capped at 30mbps no matter on 2.4ghz or 5ghz~ why like this ar?

Is that possible the interference around your house is strong?

i don't think so~ with the stock DIR-850L i can even get 80+mbps on 2.4ghz and 100+mbps on 5ghz... is there any latest firmware for me to flash?

like this firmware:

i got it from this thread:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3828356/+400

Not sure about that. Why not build your own firmware. It's easy.
