Xiaomi Cost Value WiFi6 Routers

Xiaomi released Cost Value WiFi6 Routers into markets.  The price is around $50-100. What’s WiFi6?　IEEE 802.11ax is a wireless local area network standard. The Wi-Fi Alliance calls it Wi-Fi 6, which is also known as High Efficiency WLAN (HEW).

The Wi-Fi Alliance launched the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 certification program on September 16, 2019. On January 3, 2020, the IEEE 802.11ax that uses the 6GHz frequency band is called Wi-Fi 6E.

802.11ax supports all ISM frequency bands from 1GHz to 6GHz, including the currently used 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands, and is backward compatible with a/b/g/n/ac.

The goal is to support indoor and outdoor scenes and improve spectrum efficiency. Compared with 802.11ac, the actual throughput in a dense user environment is increased by 4 times, the nominal transmission rate is increased by 37%, and the latency is reduced by 75%.

Features:

• Backward compatible with 11a/b/g/n/ac
• Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA): In a demanding environment, the channel is effectively shared for both the uplink and the downlink to improve network efficiency and reduce delay.
• Multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO): allows more downlink data to be transmitted at once, enabling the access point to simultaneously transmit data to more devices.
• 160MHz channel: Increase the bandwidth to provide higher performance with low latency.
• 1024 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation Mode (1024-QAM): Improve the throughput of Wi-Fi devices by encoding more data in the same amount of spectrum.
• Target Wake Time (TWT): Significantly extend the battery life of Wi-Fi devices, such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
• Transmit beamforming: Supports higher data rates within a given range, thereby providing greater network capacity.
• 4 times OFDM symbol duration (symbol duration)
  Adaptive clear channel assessment (Adaptive CCA)
  The security standard is upgraded to WPA3

Other thinking about Xiaomi Cost Value WiFi6 Routers:

Comparing with customerized soft router, we call these routers integrated with switch and wireless Access Point as “hard” router. These router is easy to use and configure, mostly for consumer-market. However they are less features and processing ability, not suitable for a complex and commercial environment.

Consequently, you can still DIY a soft router with strong features and processing ability, and get Xiaomi WiFi6 router just as WiFi6 Access Point.
