Xiaomi WiFi Router AX1800 – What’s More Apart From the Mesh Update? Xiaomi WiFi 6 router AX1800 changed the external antenna horizontal design of the AX3600 and adopted a vertical hidden antenna design. To be specific, it’s a hidden dual-band high-performance antenna with strong 360-degree signal coverage; tower cooling structure, large channel convection, and super-large metal heat sink to keep the router stable at all times. Xiaomi AX1800 is equipped with Qualcomm 5-core enterprise chip IPQ6000, which is used in home routers, 4-core 64-bit A53 1.2GHz CPU + single-core 1.5GHz NPU module, computing power up to 11040DMIPS. It’s based on the 14nm process, and reduces power consumption and heat by 20%. Officials said that compared to mainstream AC1200 routers, the speed of Xiaomi AX1800 is increased by 52%, and the concurrent wireless speed reaches 1775Mbps. Among them, the theoretical maximum rate of 2.4GHz is 574Mbps and the theoretical maximum rate of 5GHz is 1201Mbps. In addition, Xiaomi AX1800 router has built-in in-depth customized Tencent online game accelerator, and free three-month membership. Since the mesh networking update is out for Xiaomi WiFi 6 router AX1800, let’s hope we also get the global firmware as well so that we can change the web page language and router’s location to the desired one.See alsoZTE Axon 60 Ultra is released with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 ChipMuhammad Arbaz·April 14, 2024 Xiaomi WiFi 6 router AX1800 specs Hardware Configuration Processor IPQ6000 4-core A53 1.2GHz CPU Network acceleration engine single-core 1.5GHz NPU ROM: 128MB Memory: 256MB 2.4GHz WiFi: 2×2 (Maximum support IEEE 802.11ax protocol, theoretical maximum rate up to 574Mbps) 5GHz WiFi: 2×2 (the highest support IEEE 802.11ax protocol, the theoretical maximum rate can reach 1201Mbps) Product antenna: 2 built-in dual frequency antennas Product cooling: natural cooling Machine interface: 1 10/100 / 1000M adaptive WAN port (Auto MDIMDIX) 3 10/100 / 1000M adaptive LAN ports (Auto MDIMDIX) LED indicator: 2 (System indicator * 1, Internet indicator * 1) System reset button: 1 Power input interface: 1 Protocol standards: IEEE 802.11a / b / g / n / ac / ax, IEEE 802.3 / 3u / 3ab Certification standard: GB / T9254-: 2008; GB4943.1-2011 Wireless parameters: Dual-frequency: 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wireless channel: 2.4GHz Channel: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13 5GHz Channel: 36,40,44,48, 149,153,157,161,165 Modulation: 11b: DSSS: DBPSK (1Mbps), DQPSK (2Mbps), CCK (5.5 / 1 1Mbps) 11a / g: OFDM: BPSK (6 / 9Mbps), QPSK (12 / 18Mbps), 16QAM (24 / 36Mbps), 64QAM (48 / 54Mbps) 11n: MIMO-OFDM: BPSK, QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM.
