The Xiaomi AX3600 is a great router for the price. Too bad it doesn't support local environment really well here.

Huawei AX3 is really not that good compared to offerings from TP-Link.

Do you mean the Redmi AX5?

The Redmi AX6 is an AX3000 router.

Bought AX3600.
Noticed that with a single device connected to 2.4G wifi, the speed is awesome.
Ping from PC to router 192.168.31.1 less than 1ms.

After I connect all my IoT and IP Cam (~10 devices) which supports only 2.4G wifi, ping from PC become ~600ms and frequently disconnected.

However, if I connect my PC to 5G wifi, it's smooth again.
But I can't connect to 5G wifi with my phone as it doesn't cover every corner in my house (such as toilet) :|

Is this the slow 2.4G wifi a common issue for AX3600?
Even with my very old TL-WR740N, it can easily handle more than 10 devices without hiccup...

Disable WiFi 6 and force 20Mhz mode for the 2.4Ghz band on the Xiaomi AX3600 and hope for the best. You can play around with channels but I doubt that will help a lot.

The Qualcomm based 2.4Ghz radio on the Xiaomi AX3600 isn't that great.

There's actually better WiFi router at this price point unless you absolutely need Mi Home integration.
