The AX3 isn't a mesh-capable router. And yeah, I believe all mesh routers are model/brand specific.

You can extend normally by making the second router as an access point by connecting the cable from the main router. Or use the second router as a wireless repeater, but only as a last resort because wireless repeater speed, latency, and stability sucks.

Have a chance to test the non Pro AX3 previously.

5Ghz WiFi 6 peak on 800Mbps but always will fluctuate from 400 to 800Mbps. Kinda expected from a router at this price point considering there's no way Huawei can put a decent WiFi front end module (FEM).

TP-Link Archer AX10 can hit over 800Mbps consistently. Broadcom chipset > Huawei WiFi chip.

What you pay is what you get.

Common Huawei 4G router with built in wifi gives much better coverage, than AX3 dual core does in AC mode. For example in the area where TP-Link C80 performs well, the AX3 does have no coverage at all.

Also got the router yesterday. Setting it up was a breeze. Tested in few spot in the house, speed ok lah compared to the old TM router. Now my laptop can achieve max unifi speed on wifi. Before this max only 260 Mbps on wifi. What more you want from that price range kan.

How is your experience with the router ? My old tplink c1200 is working fine but I give a try on this ax3 since it's WiFi 6 (I thought would be helpful since wfh most of the time nowadays) . I can't say this ax3pro is better than the old tplink c1200 eventho I really wanted to. Hope there's a solution to this. The signal is not really stable also, Dota gaming keep having lag and high ping. Sigh.

After restart, reset, called Unifi to reset port. Everything still the same. (try all available settings on first day). But after 2 days using it. Today the speed is very good and stable. I have no idea why but will just continue to monitor.

Any update on the router ? Is it working fine ? I have the exact same problem with you man. Same old and new router model also. If you can give an update on it would be helpful. Thanks

I don't game so I don't know the performance with gaming. But for my usage it's been very good. Just that the 5ghz coverage is not that great when I close the door in my room. 2.4ghz works fine.

Hi sifus,

Anyone using ax3 pro with maxis fibre? How's maxis ipv6 assignment consistency with this unit? Looking forward to replace my tplink c5400 due to ipv6 inconsistencies which in turn cause me some issues.

Also anyone combine WiFi signals both 2.4ghz and 5ghz to a single SSID? Mind sharing experience how it performs? My current router always assigns my device to a slower linkspeed on a combined WiFi bandwidth and getting 5ghz 866mbps on a segregated SSID has always been troublesome. My OCD really don't go along with these issues lol.

My current setup involves the router with one of its ethernet port connected to raspberry pi 4 which hosts a few services like adguard home, nextcloud and wireguard. Another ethernet port is connected to my wife's WFH PC while the rest (plus minus 10 devices) rely on WiFi connectivity.

Currently with my little budget I'm considering to either get ax3 pro or D-link ax5460.

Any advice is really appreciated. Thanks.

Official hardware specs and advertisement does not mention mesh capability at all

anyone have tried using the AX3 pro with Celcom Home Fibre? Any idea if that would work?

Also is it possible to setup mesh for two AX3 pro routers?

Does it needs to be the local version?

Link+ is Huawei version of Mesh Link technology. I'm using their Q2 with 3 units.

If the router does support VLAN tagging.

Support client based OpenVPN/Wireguard VPN?
