    Xiaomi MIJIA 1080P WiFi IP Camera is a fantastic camera however all the settings are in chinese

    • +1

      does it international version? otherwise it only can be used in China. Petty shit strategy for xiaomi using hardware blocked

      • +1

        no they just assume everybody speaks chinese by now ….. that must be what upset trump. he bought something in the usa and the instructions were only in chinese.

    • To add to this, you need the Mi Home app for this camera and all the menus for this camera are in Chinese unlike the Yi Home app (which unfortunately does not support this camera). Other then the language, it does work in Australia.

    only 100mbit WAN port? Makes the AC a little useless….

    • Not really. Having 1167Mbps means that you'll get good speeds at a fair distance from router.

      If you currently have a 300Mbps router and only get 20Mbps a few rooms away, then with this router you might get 78Mbps - a substantial improvement.

      However I don't know what happens if your laptop is only capable of AC600 - will you get 78Mbps, or roughly half that?

    • +3

      Is the WAN where you insert the internet? If so, 100Mbps should be enough for the fastest NBN.

      The Ethernet LAN ports being 10/100 is a bit disappointing though.

      • I was planning to use it to connect to my existing switch/router as a wireless access point.

        So that would mean all file transfers would be 100mbit.

        • +2

          Realistically file transfers over wifi are going to suck no matter how many mbits it is.

        • @lostn: You can't compare to Ethernet connection

        • @bti_jet: I'm not comparing, I'm just saying they suck, even if you're right next to the router.

    • no ethernet is full duplex and much more efficient as it has smaller headers and doesn't have to worry about encryption unlike wireless protocols ….. 100m ethernet coming straight of a nas won't be a bottle neck it's the wireless devices that would have trouble keeping up ….. people get confused with the speed numbers vs throughout….. so some file file transfers and look at the throughput rather than the speed .

  • Does this need a separate modem?

    • yes

    • If you're on ADSL then you will.

      • Can you explain this please?

        I might have the technical names wrong but my modem is plugged into the phone line. My pc has a USB dongle that connects to this modem.

        If I got this modem, would I need to buy anything extra?

        Edit: I have this

        • actually what you have is actually a wireless access point+modem and router in one. This is just a router and wireless access point you will still need a modem to have internet.just need to connect it to the WAN port at the back of the device

        • @nobby148: What part of this deal (the Xiaomi) makes it not a modem?

        • @jikijiki: This router doesn't have the modem component and will not take an ADSL phone line. Only ethernet cables which NBN use.

        • @jikijiki:
          Just think of two components: Modem, gets the internet from the phone line.
          And Router, distributes the internet from the modem to all your different devices.

          A lot of devices in sale are a modem and a router in the one device.
          This xiaomi router is JUST a router, with no modem capabilities.

  • Have Ozbargain got a sponsorship deal with xiaomi and eneloop? 😊

    • +4

      and Lenovo's. fun fact: everyone at the Ozbargain headquarters uses a Lenovo Thinkpad.

      • Lenovo is great value for it's quality!

        • I second that

        • lenovo bought the ibm pc and server business and now also own motorola phones which they bought from Google, so they make a lot of stuff and hat huge in china.

    What is the point of AC routers? You can not get a connection speed higher than 10Mb/s and maybe a bit higher with NBN.

    • +1

      10mbps… where did that number come from? You can achieve much higher.

    • +2

      What is the point of AC routers? You can not get a connection speed higher than 10Mb/s and maybe a bit higher with NBN.

      AC has better range, better penetrability through walls. Significantly faster transfer speeds for files between devices on your LAN.

      • +1

        actually doesn't penetrate walls better …. it's not higher power and 5ghz penetrates less than the 2.4ghz ….. it's the encoding to put more data into a packet and ability to recombine signals bounced off walls that gives you a better signal and perceived better range…..

    • Dual band - 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. 2.4GHz band is generally overloaded which contributes to poor signal quality.
      PS: NBN connection goes up to 100Mbit.
      YMMV as ever, but your LAN and WLAN for all your streaming needs will love the 5GHz band on supported devices.

      • Yup. Good example of this is my 5GHz AC phone downloading a 1.7GB movie at 114mbps (not on nbn, using telstra hfc) in less than 4 minutes, only to spend the next hour transferring it onto my old media centre pc that has 2.4GHz wireless G. I'll be upgrading the media centre pc.

      • Well, thanks for replying, according to Optus website, typical internet connection for ADSL might reach up to 20 Mbit/s, and CABLE/NBN might experience 100Mbit/s.
        According to router standards, generation N routers might transfer data at the speed of 450Mbit/s while generation AC might go up to 1330Mbit/s.
        Therefore, Series N routers are more than 4 times faster than the speed of fastest domestic internet connection available. Also, even if there is some LAN file transfer or streaming involved, 450Mbit/s will be chewing it like peanuts.
        Above all, AC routers speed is not pure 1330Mbit/s but a combination of 2 bands, 2.4/5Ghz, meaning at no circumstances you will reach even half of that speed per single device.
        Apart from the penetration index that I am not sure off but according to the energies of those frequencies that makes sense, is there any other factor justifying spending any money at all on an AC Modem/Router?

        • Future compatibility is a good reason to get AC. Plus, keep in mind, the transfer speeds are MAX speeds, not steady speeds.
          As an example, a smart TV and a Win 10 PC on the same network - You can right click a video file and say "cast to X TV" - if your wireless network is sub-par, your video will not play smoothly on the TV. Bandwidth is king. Having the capability to simply transfer/broadcast/stream whatever you like (not even counting having a massive number of devices on your network) makes life easier.

          Of note: Realistically, N routers are usually 150-300Mbit. Only the later N routers can do 450Mbit. Again though, these are maximums and not representative of the actual transfer speeds. Everything has an effect on your actual connection speed. Walls, distance, interference. Plus, while slow devices on your b/g/n network don't directly slow down other devices that are capable of N speeds, the N devices do have to wait longer before it's their 'turn' to communicate so to speak. AC fixes that up by separating them out.
          Each to their own however - so if you're happy with what you got and your network isn't being saturated.. then leave it as is :)
          Personally, I'm getting myself a UniFi AC AP.

        • 5ghz penetrates less than 2.4 ghz hence 700mhz phones penetrate walls better than 1800 mhz phones on 4G. but 2.4 has lots of stuff on it now , cordless phones, kids drones RC, cameras straeming, and even the microwave oven interferes with one of the bands , so yes 5ghz is cleaner and less congested at the moment.
          there is a lot of marketing based on numbers not achieved throughout.
          i had ac1900, have gone back to ac600 as the modem uses less power, even had the ac1900 PCI card which cost $100 and had trouble with drivers on win10 so wouldn't combines the 2.4 and 5ghz …..

  • Does the router have a 240v source?

    • Power adapter is 100v-240v.

      • +1

        Yes, multi voltage using a US style two pin plug.

  • Ok this is going to be a stupid question but…. if i have a wireless N modem router & get poor to med signals on notebook. Would having this xiaomi router with existing modem plugged into its WAN port technically give me a better chance at better coverage? (have a wireless 1200 AC usb adapter hooked up to notebook currently)

    Also - does anyone know if Chromecast 2 is AC or N?

    • +1

      Yes you can plug it into it, but you will have separate WIFI, also you can use it as a bridge router.

    • +1

      ther are only a few bands on wireless n (2.4ghz) and they are shared and only one device can talk at a time on a band ….. so,if you see your neighbours access points ….. you are all sharing the same bands….. i live in a flat and see 25 other access points in my bedroom. moving to ac will give you better coverage in that if you have open doors etc between you and the ap it can better recombine the signals so you will get better throughput and it's also probabaly less congested so less time waiting for an empty band. if you hate your neighbours ….. get streaming cameras and put one on each band in 2.4 ghz ….. causes complete congestion….. same principe as wifi jammers, used to do it as a demo to customers who wanted wifi instead of wired connections in their offices…. then would would go wires to desks and have wireless for people visiting or in meeting rooms.

  • It is very unstable, maybe just mine?

  • Only supports N and AC? My PS3 won't have the internet…

    Yes, I still download the monthly free games with that.

    • +1

      Just double checked with Xiaomi - 802.11a/b/g/n/ac

  • I've read the xiaomi router set up is only in Chinese?

  • The router/AP is designed for China. Without country setting, AP would not enforce DPC and TPC for Australian bands and is therefore illegal.

  • can the camera write to a network drive?

  • They have hilarious unboxing video on this website in russian.

  • Pretty sure you can install dd-wrt on the router. Mine's in the mail from the 11/11 sales.
