Verdict

The Xiaomi Mi Router AX1800 is a dual-band Wi-Fi 6 router featuring a Qualcomm IPQ6000 quad-core CPU, 256MB of RAM, and four high-gain external antennas that deliver a combined theoretical speed of up to 1775 Mbps (1201 Mbps on 5GHz and 574 Mbps on 2.4GHz). Its main strengths include support for OFDMA and MU-MIMO to handle up to 128 devices simultaneously, seamless mesh networking with other Xiaomi Wi-Fi 6 units, and enhanced security via WPA3. However, some users note a relatively limited signal range on the 2.4GHz band, the absence of a USB port for file sharing, and the lack of a physical WPS button.
