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.

Both has been done, but still the same issue.
I suspect it might be caused by interference as it was placed very near to NVR and there are another router on another side of the wall in neighbour's house.
I tried to relocate router and NVR away from the wall, it runs smoothly. Now monitoring.

Older device that run on lower data rate can contribute to this, as all the clients will be forced to use the lowest data rate. Normally, cheap IOT device is the culprit.

I solved my 5ghz coverage issue by putting a wifi mesh.

Thanks! This might one of the possible cause. Since I already own AX3600, i might get another AX1800 as wifi mesh too.
