Recently, Huawei Router AX3 Pro Global version is now available on Aliexpress. According to the sellers, this version also has the Huawei Router AX3 Pro English Firmware preinstalled which allows the user to change the location and language from Chinese to English. Moreover, the boxing, the user manual, and service card are also in English labeling.

Note: The global version doesn’t have 2 x 2.4G amplifiers. That is why it doesn’t have a same signal range in comparison to the Chinese version. I suggest you not to buy it if you want to run on 2.4G for wider range and lesser performance. Moreover, the OTA updates of the global version are stuck to an old update.

Update 21/9/2020: According to some users, the Huawei router AX3 Pro with Global Firmware appears to have lower signal strength than the original one. This is because there’s no 2.4G amplifiers in the global version of the router (due to global restrictions).

Update 23/4/2021: Please don’t buy a global version of the Huawei AX3 Pro which doesn’t have the two 2.4G amplifiers and is stuck on an old update. Because of this, the global version’s signal range is pretty limited. The Chinese version is the best and the webpage can be translated via the Chrome auto-translate feature. There’s the enhanced version of the router as well selling on Aliexpress with the two amplifiers but still, the range isn’t the same as the Chinese version.

    1. No, it doesn’t. There’s the Brazilian version which has 5GHz but still, I won’t recommend it.

      It’s best to get the Chinese version which gets regular OTA updates while other versions including Brazilian/Russian/Global gets stuck on the old version.

      App can be changed to English. Web can be converted to English by Chrome translate.

    1. No, it doesn’t. If it had supported the manufacturer would mention it. Moreover, I don’t see in the settings as well.

  3. Hello!
    Did you hear about the “brazil” version of the AX3 Pro? The sellers says that it has the same 4 amplifiers as the Chinese version.

    1. Yes, I did hear about the brazil version. That one does have the 2.4GHz amplifiers. However, some people say that the Wifi range is still not the same as the Chinese version, though it’s a lot better than the Global version which was selling previously without the 2.4GHz amplifiers.

  4. What is the dual core version you can buy in EU, is that the “non pro” version and quad core is always “pro”? Mine just says “HUAWEI WiFi AX3” not anything with pro, it is the global one with non Chinese language.

    Really hope Huawei didnt scam EU people and wont release firmware updates anymore. Latest “pro” chinese firmware is already .48 or something where global one .27 is old from mid 2020.

    1. The dual-core version is always the non-pro version ‘Huawei AX3’ while the quad-core version is the pro version ‘Huawei AX3 Pro’. Yes, whether it is the Pro or non-pro version, the so-called global version has been stuck to the old firmware version.

  5. Hi Roman,

    Thank you for sharing the info that AX3 PRO Global has no 2.4Ghz amplifier. I recent found out a Enhanced Version that you also mention here.

    Do you know if this Enhanced Version is some kind of “Mod Version” made by users or this is a genuine Huawei version.

    I’m wondering this, because if exists some global restrictions, what has change?

    Thanks again!

    1. Previously, when the global version first came, the stores like those on Aliexpress claimed that the hardware is the same and the global firmware is official. However, sadly, that was not the case. Moreover, I won’t trust any seller selling this enhanced version until Huawei confirms this. I came to know from the users of the enhanced version that though the signal strength is much better than the previous global version which should be because the 2.4G amplifiers are there or the firmware is utilizing those 2.4G amplifiers, however, still the signal strength is not equal to that of the Chinese version.

  6. Dear Roman, Kindly answer. I bought 2 months ago Huawei Wifi 6 Plus Router from AliExpress. In two story house, my previous TP Link router AC2300 giving long range powerful signals in all parts,including basement. But this Huawei is giving half of the signal range and power. I tried changing location, channels etc,but same thing. I heard this is due to old firmware, i have is 10.0.5.26 .Is stay same each time i press Update . User having V 10.0.5.33 and user having Chinese firmware claim better signal range and strength.
    Kindly provide link to download new firmware to solve the issue.

    1. Hi Mike! It looks like you ordered the global version of the Huawei AX3 Pro also known as Huawei WiFi 6+ router quad core. This version doesn’t have 2.4G amplifiers (due to some global restrictions) that is why you are experiencing lesser range than the Chinese version. Because of the change in hardware, I don’t think you can flash a Chinese firmware to the global version and because of no 2.4G amplifier, I don’t think any firmware update will make it equal to the Chinese version in terms of range.

      I already explained to the readers about the 2.4G vs 5G differences in this article: https://www.thephonetalks.com/xiaomi-redmi-router-ac2100-review/
      If you want more range and don’t prefer high speed performance go for 2.4G and if you want more performance and are not concerned with the range go for the 5G. Some routers have a mode which automatically detects which mode is best suited.

      About the firmware update, the latest one is 10.0.5.27 and if you are stuck on the 10.0.5.26, try installing this firmware first https://disk.yandex.ru/d/cNDz0JOqZpuQNw (v10.0.5.26) and then click on update to move to 10.0.5.27).

      I hope this helps.

  7. Do you know whether there now is a global ROM? Like, an official one that does not have the lesser performance?

    1. No, I just found out that the global version has no 2.4G amplifier at all (due to the global restrictions). That is why users are complaining about the less range in comparison to the Chinese version. I don’t think this can be fixed with a firmware update as now there’s the hardware difference. If one concern is range, I would suggest one to stay away from the global version. The Chinese version like I said before is the best if you don’t want to miss out some important features and regular OTA updates. I know Chinese is really hard to understand but the webpage can be translated to somewhat broken English but still understandable.

  8. Hi Global version don’t have 2.4Ghz amplifiers only 5Ghz that is why you can’t flash chinese firmware on global and vice versa.

  9. It helps so much !!!
    Thanks a lot Roman.
    I m going to buy this chinese version very soon (and if I choose a vendor that you put on your website, I will go obviously through your link) 😉
    Take Care !

  10. Hi, do you know if it’s possible to flash the Chinese AX3 Pro variant with the global firmware? I purchased the Chinese version before the global version was released and wondering if there are any differences in hardware that would prevent this from working?

    Reply

    1. Since there is no official global firmware file available on the internet, I have seen some non-official ones. However, most of them will have firmware issues.
      1. Some will refuse to flash the firmware
      2. Some features will be cut of in the non official firmware

      So, I recommend using the Chinese version of it. You can use Google chrome’s translate feature to translate the webpage and the translated page isn’t that bad at all.

      1. Agreed, it’s just a minor nuisance, I can live with it. The benefits far outweigh the negatives. The range on this little thing is pretty incredible compared with my Linksys wrt1900acs (not to mention less than half the price!)

        I really hope future firmware updates bring us OpenVPN capabilities, then I can finally ditch the Linksys for good.

      2. Hi Roman. Thanks for this article. Do you know if there are other differences between chinese ans global version except the language ? I read the chinese version would miss some bands (wifi channels) that we use in France (Europe). Thanks for your help.
        PS : I m asking that cause if it’s only different for thé language , I will but the chinese one which is cheaper.

        Reply

        1. Hi Matheoh!
          There’s no difference in Chinese and Global versions apart from the language and package labeling/user manual. The features and bands are all the same. However, you won’t be able to change the region in the Chinese one from ‘China Mainland’ to any other. Yes, the Chinese version is a lot cheaper. I suggest buying the Chinese version. You can always translate the page with Google translate and the translation isn’t that bad. As for the global ROM, we might have that soon. There are some unofficial ones as well (but not that good and experience problems). So it’s better to use the Chinese version, until the official Global ROM is available on the internet.
          I hope this helps.
