I want to connect a 2.4 security camera, the network automatically changes to 5g and the camera does not connect, how can I do so that it does not change automatically and I can connect my camera? 😢
Hi, CAN YOU HELP ME? I have the same extender but recently it keeps on disconnecting to the main router every 15 minutes. I've already resetting it multiple times, but the problem remains the same.
Can you disable the WiFi extender functionality and only keep the Ethernet output functionality? I have an old computer which only has Ethernet so I'm only interested in hooking it up to the Extender without the added radiation of the WiFi extender. So is there an option in the app to disable the WiFi extension and only keep the Ethernet output?
Hello Friendly Mr. Can this repeater be used to extend an existing 5.8ghz ac access point as a 2.4ghz access point so 2.4ghz wifi devices can also have access to the original extended 5.8ghz network ?
Hello! Are you able to use this extender as part of an existing Mesh network? I currently have a Xiaomi Mesh System AX1800 device connected to my router, but I need to extend this network to get WiFi coverage on a wider area. Am I able to use this device as part of this Mesh network?
Hi, does it really need to be placed near our WiFi router? Please enlighten me because I'm somehow confused. My case is that our WiFi router is located on the first floor, and I want to extend the range of our WiFi to my room on the second floor because, apparently, I'm having a connection problem on the second floor when I play mobile games, unlike when I play on the first floor near the WiFi router. My initial thought is to place this repeater on the second floor since that is where we have the weakest connection at home. Or will placing it near our WiFi router, as how it is instructed to be used, on the first floor still do its job and solve my connection issue on the 2nd floor? Thank you in advance for noticing.
Can it connect and reconnect to iphone hotspot after the iphone is restarted? I encounter that iphone hotspot changes the bssid and channel each time it is off and on. Some wifi extender has problem picks up after that.
I want to extend my internet at a location where there is currently -73dbm signal from the router. I can't physically put the Xiaomi extender at a location in between. Do you recommend putting the extender near the router or at the location to go to -53dbm? Or maybe use two of them?
I have two xiaomi AC1200 repeaters, I'm trying to configure them (both) in my house on my iphone 13 pro, I got one but the other doesn't go in at all, I've done everything I've been trying all day and I couldn't. I do all the steps and I can't. PLEASE help me to solve this problem . Iphone ios.
I have a really irritating issue. My extender is not connecting to my Huawei 5g wifi. It connects fine with 2.4 G. Do you have a solution for this? I have tried all channels on the huawei 5g wifi network.
I have only a modem without wi-fi so i don't have a router, so my question is: can i connect my modem and my wifi extender with internet cable into the internet port and have an internet ? I ask this because im not sure do i need to buy a router or not.. Im asking this because i buy previous wifi extender from Mi which is without internet port, when i connected him with other internet who have modem with wi-fi the connection was still bad. Any thought on this ?
Hi, and thank you for a good review. I just got one and I have a question. Normally, mine shows BLUE and BLUE indications, but sometimes, the upper indicator switches to ORANGE. Do you know what it can mean? Thank you
One question, does the extender create it's own nat or simply works as a relay, if I need to supply the internet to a pc, using the ethernet cable. Just worried about possible double nat issues. Thanks
Friend, I hired Starlink for use on the farm, but the router doesn't have the range I need. I then bought the Xiaomi AX6000 to use as a (quality) repeater. The Starlink modem reaches 30 meters from Xiaomi. The Starlink modem will serve one area and the Xiaomi will serve another. I ask: IS IT POSSIBLE TO CONNECT THE XIAOMI VIA WI-FI? How to make? Sorry for my poor English, I'm using Google Translate. Thanks.
Can you set it up to only use the cable connection instead of it having a wifi network? Can one disable the wifi connection and only use a network cable?
Thanks for this video! I have a question though - when I am at hotels, it requires that I connect to the wifi, but there is a browser that comes up that requires a passcode or room number / last name. So the Xiaomi app fails to connect the device to the hotel wifi. Any advice you might have for me?
Tried selecting my 5G connection it does not work. Using my 2.4G connection it does work. I dont understand why it's not connecting using 5G when I did setup it besides my router.
I have exactly the the same issue. If I connect it with the router set to 2.4G, it connects, creates its own network and works flawlessly. If I then delete it (+reset the AC1200) and start again - with the router set to 5G - it cannot connect to the network and just sends me in endless loops searching for it. I've now spent 2 days trying everything! One attempt actually worked, but when the AC1200 was disconnected from the power - or the router moved out of range - it refused to reconnect again when everything was sat next to each other and re-powered. I've given up with it!
WiFi Mesh network will have a single mesh router as the main host. It will control all the network parameters, routing and device switching, handling. The child nodes will just follow the instructions of the host. An extender is independent of the main WiFi router, it just re broadcasts the WiFi signal to extend the range. The receiver device woll handle the switching between the networks (main and extended) in this case, and it's not ideal. Mesh is more convenient but may cost more. Repeaters are an economical solution, especially when your connecting devices are mostly stationary. Thanks.
Hi. If I set this extender in my room, which is far away from the router, can I directly connect an Ethernet cable to my laptop like that or could it only connect to a modem or router?
You don't need a Xiaomi Phone. You will need to use the app to setup for the first time only or you may manually connect to the wifi of the extender and go to miwifi.com to set it up without the app. After that you will not need any app. Thanks.
If your modem has a router (eg it has multiple lan ports), then you can connect this device in the AP mode. The number of devices will be limited by your modem's capability (max DHCP). Thanks.

Hello Friendly Mr. Can this repeater be used to extend an existing 5.8ghz ac access point as a 2.4ghz access point so 2.4ghz wifi devices can also have access to the original extended 5.8ghz network ?
No. Smart home devices need their own dedicated 2.4G network. This is an issue many people have - myself included. 😞
Can I create a mesh network with this repeater and my Chinese Redmi AX5 router?
No mesh function, you can use it as an extender and set the same SSID as the host WiFi.

Hi .can I connect this extender to my mobile tethering hotspot.
Im using my mobile as router, but the coverage is poor mostly
Yes you can. Extend any WiFi network.

Yes you can use any WiFi network, even hotspot.

Its trial and error. If neither work try using the AP mode and a Ethernet cable

Hi, and thank you for a good review. I just got one and I have a question. Normally, mine shows BLUE and BLUE indications, but sometimes, the upper indicator switches to ORANGE. Do you know what it can mean? Thank you
That means that signal who came from the router to this repeater is weak.
I have a question. does the range extender copy the SSID of the wifi network of the router? on both bands?
it doesn't. You have to manually edit the network names and you can use the same as are on the primary router
i cant use the smartlink,.it always shows request timeout
Good review for sure
hi i have a question if i change it to AP mode can i still use the 5ghz wifi signal or it will be disabled?
Do it has feature for roaming option?
can you disconnect people from the wifi through the app?
how to disable wps?
Is there a difference on the speed on actual wifi modem vs this?
Up
Hi, This can do mesh wifi with mi router?
No mesh function. Only extension
It says enable local network even tho it is on? Pls help
what if the source network is hidden . does it have add network option?
You need to enter SSID manually.
I read somewhere that it includes Lithium batteries. What are the batteries for??
No batteries are included in this repeater.
One question, does the extender create it's own nat or simply works as a relay, if I need to supply the internet to a pc, using the ethernet cable. Just worried about possible double nat issues. Thanks
Only extends, no NAT. Uses Host DHCP.

Hi, Can I use the ethernet port to connect to my gaming console?
Yes
Can you set it up to only use the cable connection instead of it having a wifi network? Can one disable the wifi connection and only use a network cable?
There is only one cable port and it will work only if you pair the wifi connection to the host router. So the answer is no. Thanks.
Thank you !
Is the ethernet for receiving internet or for extending internet
Both. You can receive or use the port depending on the repeater mode.

i dont think repeaters are capable of "portal" type connection
HOW CAN WE USE 5G mode? I saw only 2.4G mode in my network how to convert to 5G
5Ghz network is available in this repeater, you can check the app and enable it
@@DSmartLife Won't work for me. I've spent 2 full days trying everything I can think of to connect my 5G router. 2.4 connects and works perfectly. 😞
Is it impossible to make wifi roaming with this extender ? Previous version has it .
Yes, set the same SSID with the original network.
Is the extender needs to be close to the wifi router???
Yes, it should have a decent signal from the original router.
thank you very much
Does this repeater creats it’s own network? Or just amplifies the main one?
it creates it's own
It can create new SSID or extend original network.

how far is the range cover by this?
Thx for video, Please always enable subtitles for foreign as me. The others videos I cant understand english. please help me-
what is good this or the mi pro?
Mi Pro doesn't have dual band 5GHz WiFi and lan port, this one does. Select based on your requirements.

You can connect to your laptop to use it as a ethernet port
Can I use it without xiaomi phone or app? :(

@@DSmartLife thank you so much! Subbed
Do I have to set up 2.4 and 5 separately?
No, just select one of the network as the link. And it will create both bands for extension
@@DSmartLife The website is only Chinese, and the AC1200 link is nothing but a sales page. How?
It lessens the bandwidth when placed far away from the main router
Yes. It works as any WiFi device.
Do a video on the new xaiomi wifi 7000 (wifi 7)
Thanks for the video, HOW MANY METERS DOES THE SIGNAL RAISED?
Depends on walls and obstacles. It can go one room or so.
Great vídeo! 👏👏👏
For the ethernet port, can I connect it to modem?
If your modem has a router (eg it has multiple lan ports), then you can connect this device in the AP mode. The number of devices will be limited by your modem's capability (max DHCP). Thanks.
Xiaomi doesnt show on my bluetooth :(
It is WiFi, but Bluetooth
It doesn't have Bluetooth!
Is this works like a hotspot?
It just extends an existing network. Not a hotspot per se.
It only support 36 to 48 channel in 5GHz network if your device doesn't support this channel you can't connect it to 5gh and use it. So don't buy it
تدعم النت الفايف جي؟
وايش كتبتي مافهمت
I’m upset, the ethernet port is is limited to 100 mbps !!!!
cool.
This 100Mbit/s LAN port…
How to change pass
In the app
Nice review, In my opinion after owning two of these units, they are of poor quality. Buy another brand.
isn't it stupid they call wifi 5G?
Dont buy, the software app does not recognize it, too slow, wont work with many modem brands
Software app doesnt recognize or it is not found in app.
Whats the reason ?
dont buy
Why?
Hi @dsmartlife, why so long no update for new review? Xiaomi have a lot new router
I'm unable to keep up due to work. Sorry.
