Performance

I am using a Poe device that is connected with my router and hence was not able to use this Mi Router as primary router, but I connected cable to the LAN port on the primary router and other end into the WAN port of Mi Router 3C, so I could use it as Wired Repeater.

The setup process is simple, you can either use the traditional 192.168.1.1 method or use the MiWiFi App. You get a lot of control options via the app – like reboot, firmware update, firewall, parental control, guest mode, bandwidth control and more. Some features will not work when using the router as a repeater.

Signal Strength

My current setup : Main Primary router + Repeater in mid way to amplify the signal to the far end. When I connect directly to primary router from the 3rd room (far end), I get 2 signal bar out of 4 and it fluctuates to 1, net speed is slow and occasionally dies out. When using repeater I get 4 signal bar out of 4, good connection, stable and decent speed.


With Mi Router 3C as wired extender that is placed just near the primary router, when I connected to it from same room, I got full 4 bar, signal was stable and net speed was really good. What’s more you can connect many devices on the same 3C router thanks to 64MB RAM.

Updating Firmware

This is as easy as it gets, plus there are dual ROM partition on the system that makes it even safer, you don’t have to worry about unexpected power outrage during the firmware update process.

Verdict

Mi Router 3C is a 300Mbps WiFi router that provides very good coverage and a very stable connection. Most low cost routers will not completely cover the area in your home / office, but the Mi Router in most cases will. Makes sense to go for the 3C that comes for a attractive price of Rs. 1,199.

Rating 4.3 out of 5

Mi Router 3C is available on Mi.com for Rs. 1,199.
