good idea to get 2 ax5 to form mesh? its only rm300 drolllllz

Finally got my unit at 10.30PM yesterday 😅
Straight jumped into setting it up and managed to connect to unifi thanks to the great tutorial by heidarren.

However, not all went well, the unit came with firmware 1.0.2x and the SSH hack doesn't work. After 1 hour of trial and error and doing some research online finally found out that the SSH hack only works on firmware version 1.0.17 as per heidarren's tutorial. So for the newer units have to downgrade the firmware first. After gaining SSH access can update to latest firmware withouy problem.

It's a big upgrade to the TP-Link AC1900 Touch P5 Router I am currently using. WiFi Speed on iPhone X is over 300Mbps which never reach before.

Was able to get full 800/200 Mpbs on Laptop and the range is much better. My router is on one end of the house whereas my home office is at the other end. Prevoiusly cannot get past 20Mbps but now can get over 100Mbps download however upload is still less than 20Mbps. Even PS4 able to get 600/200Mpbs. Never see this kind of speed before. Fired up a game of COD WWII Multiplayer and gotten full green bar for all 3 TDM.

All in all it is a great router and easy to use. Don't allow me to set non-standard IP Range though. Tried to start with 221.x.x.x but not allowed hehe.

What is the max theoretical speed we can get if add another unit of AX3600 as MESH? Thinking of adding another unit upstairs to get better speed in my home office.

Do u guys know, international firmware got additional setting for VLAN, which u can set and dial (Without need to go to SSH/Telnet)

First update your firmware to 3.0.22 https://bit.ly/MiAX3600INT

and then factory reset and after reboot enter 192.168.31.1

Then you notice as below, click at additional setting, put your vlan

[attachmentid=10744283]

Which model is it ... ax1800 or ax3600?ax5?

Using cable or wireless.

This one using WiFi. LAN no problem. WiFi only always cannot get full speed. Bought a cheap wifi 6 ax200 WiFi card for my old laptop and can get full speed.

ax3600

So at that vlan tagging you fil up with 500? For using unifi Dan get it done?

yerp, put vlan 500, fill in pppoe detail, done.  except for IPTV vlan 600 of which u need to manually bridge it via ssh (of which I havent try it)

The device you bought was China firmware on default and flash to to international firmware .... I’m quick noob since ready have touch tech stuff for a long time

yes u can flash china firmware with int firmware without any problem

Ax3600 with the ax200 to get full speed ?

ax3600 mesh ax5

this setup can run good speed wifi ?

What is your broadband speed?

500Mbps, currently only getting 100Mbps using homeplug upstairs
