When it comes to the Routers, you should always look for the pricing. There are routers that are available for just 20 bucks and some others that are above 200. But all it matters is the quality and the available features inside. So, we should mention one of the most recent Xiaomi releases, the Xiaomi Mi Router 3C. Coming with an extremely cheap price of Rs. 1199, the router didn’t compromise the features and build quality. It has 4 antennas for strong signal output and enough RAM to hold the device in compromising situations.
The design of the product is very catchy. Like any other Xiaomi products, a clean and elegant design dominates the device. It is comparatively thin makes it light weight as well. There are no noticeable air holes on the product other than on the lower portion. The antennas look a little bulky but are really helpful for spreading the Wifi signals all over the house. The device is single-band 802.11 b/g/n operating at 2.4GHz. So, if you are looking for a dual-band router, this may not be the perfect router for you. But for the normal usage, a single band is more than enough.
The Mi Router 3C supports Wifi speeds of up to 300Mbps. It comes with 16MB of ROM and 64MB of RAM which is enough for handling average usage. For those who need an extremely performing router with enough hardware specifications to handle extreme usage, this Xiaomi product may not be suitable. This product is perfect for those who need a basic router which is well performing, can handle the daily usage, can deliver strong signals to multiple devices all at the house or office.
There is a LED on the router which changes the color based on the network status. There is nothing else to notice on the front portion of the device. Looking at the back will give you a view of a recessed reset button, a WAN port, two 10/100 Ethernet ports, and a power inlet. As it is a starter router from the company, it will not be enough to build a great LAN network at your office. However, you could connect a couple of devices together with the LAN port.
Talking about the performance, the Xiaomi Mi Router 3C performs quite well and we noticed no problems during hours of continuous usage. It successfully delivered Wifi signals to all over our office without any significant loss in the signal strength. You can setup the device either by going to the miwifi.com or installing their mobile application. The setup process doesn’t require an additional installation file. The router will configure almost of the necessary functions automatically. However, you could manually configure it as per your requirements.
