        Hmmmm…. That is the question. There's very little and mixed info on the net about that, and loading openwrt as well 🤔

        • DoctorCalculon on 28/02/2023 - 13:18

          Maybe my google-fu is extremely rusty.
          Have you been able to locate the Chinese firmware for the DVB4304GL model?
          The only way to be sure is the flash the firmware, and run before & after tests.

        • pragmaticguy on 28/02/2023 - 14:01

          Well, mine has a tracking number already, so should arrive either tomorrow or the next day

    You know this router is popular when Woolies is selling them via their Everyday Marketplace.

  • PhilsComputerLab on 28/02/2023 - 14:32

    Got the AX6000, I believe I bought it from Banggood and really happy with it. It's got Chinese software and not an issue, just setup with a device that has Internet/translate like your phone. Signal power is the best, it hasn't skipped a beat, never needed resetting. I think there was one firmware update that's it. It's connected to a Netcomm modem put in bridge mode (FTTN). I don't think this one will be much better in terms of wireless. Remember, you need 802.11AX adopters in every machine to take advantage of WIFI6.

    • xmail on 28/02/2023 - 21:56

      Not every machine, just the ones that you want to benefit from it. Many phones already do, and people swap out laptops and other devices pretty regularly. You'd get a fair few ax devices over the next few years.

  • mandelbrot on 01/03/2023 - 13:20

    So has anyone received delivery, or picked up locally, and successfully flashed the Chinese firmware on it?

    • sabrelli on 01/03/2023 - 17:17

      bought 25/2, tracking number recd today
      estimated delivery Thur - Mon Sydney

    • c64 on 01/03/2023 - 20:19

      according to the openwrt page, the global model has secure boot enabled but the chinese one does not . this might matter. you are best off checking the ax9000 forums on openwrt before proceeding or you might brick your router . you might also want to buy a 1.8V USB to TTL converter first in case your brick it.

      • mandelbrot on 01/03/2023 - 20:29

        Thanks. I've been reading the threads on openwrt. I reckon there's zero chance I'm gonna be able to load openwrt on it without bricking it :/

          loading openwrt looks straight forward (expand direct rooting device procedure). i don't think you can brick it doing that. if anything goes wrong you just do a factory reset and try again. a link to the oem firmware is also on the page in case you decide that openwrt isn't for you and you want to go back to the oem firmware. alternatively just enjoy the oem firmware

      Just received my router. 2.4Ghz signal strength is weaker than my previous asus r68u - but seems to support a higher throughtput. Came with international firmware, 3.0.40 (latest). I choose singapure as my region, thinking it might be better than choosing aus, but not sure.

      • mandelbrot on 03/03/2023 - 13:11

        What about 5Ghz signal strength?
        Are you gonna try loading the Chinese firmware onto it?

        • pragmaticguy on 03/03/2023 - 13:14
          +1

          not sure yet. will test for a bit with this one before I decide. signal strength is not as strong as I thought it was going to be, to be honest. I think I will need a mesh anyway. 2.4ghz with asus used to reach my whole house without an issue. this one seems to be more unstable, one less signal bar in my office, for example.

          • mandelbrot on 03/03/2023 - 13:33

            @pragmaticguy: If you're gonna get a second device for mesh, maybe try the AX6000? $165 delivered from AliExpress.

            • pragmaticguy on 03/03/2023 - 14:12

              @mandelbrot: sad to see my asus r68u seems to outperform this router at more than 5-10m distance… how can such a beast be outperformed by a small, 10y old router…?

              • mandelbrot on 03/03/2023 - 14:15

                @pragmaticguy: 😬

                • pragmaticguy on 03/03/2023 - 15:10

                  @mandelbrot: sent an email to xiaomi asking about this possibility. lets see what they say.

                  • mandelbrot on 03/03/2023 - 15:40

                    @pragmaticguy: I emailed them earlier in the week. This was their response:
                    "There is no particular firmware that is designed to provide a consistent signal strength of 30dBm. However, the AX9000 itself should be able to emit up to this signal strength in the 5MHz operating frequency."

                    • pragmaticguy on 03/03/2023 - 16:33

                      @mandelbrot: very disappointed with the signal strength on this router, it doesn't make any sense for it to be weaker than my 10y old asus, even on 2.4ghz. the asus is 80% smaller! and the asus is also sold here in AU, so no excuses in terms of signal tx strength, they are both limited by the same laws.

I honestly don't think we are going to get anywhere with this problem, it is what it is. But it is worth a shot.

                          They sent me an email with some instructions to test, and said if the problem is not solved to take it back to the authorized dealer. I said I dont think its a hardware problem, but one an engineer should look into.

Chinese versions so wifi not gimped. Max 30dBm transmit power with 160Mhz channels and my whole house is blanketed with sensational wifi.

        Play with this router in the last 2 days, and I'm a bit disappointed.

        My old wifi 5 performs pretty much the same as the router.
        Speed test connects to my NAS via 1gbe is equally/bellow my old router.
        Speed test connect to my NAS via 2.5gbe is significantly bellow then my old router ( I connect my synology NAS via 2.5gbe usb dongle.
        The software is limited. At the moment I can't access the data center in the NAS, because the xiaomi router firewall block it. The software don't have option to unblock it.

        further investigation suggest xiaomi has issue dealing with secure dns (https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/188094431/disaster-…), but that sounds very dogegy me.

      This one has better hardware specs (assuming the wifi power isn't gimped for EU market). Asus has better software. This one is half the price.

          Link: https://www.pcbyte.com.au/return-policy

          If you wish to return a product that you have purchased from PCByte and it has been approved by the PCByte team for a change of mind return, there will be a restocking fee amounting to 20% of the item value for items that have been opened or used.

          Whether I open the box or not, they will charge the 20% restocking fee.

          I guess I will just keep it, and use it as an additional AP until I figure out how to safely flash the firmware to the CN version.

  • Snoots on 09/03/2023 - 14:13

    Wow. I have the the AX6000 for almost 2 years with current Chinese firmware 1.0.103. Fantastic device as primary Router. Only use the 5Ghz 160mhz channel, so can't comment on 2.4Ghz signal. Given that my router has a relatively weak dual core CPU, I am very surprised that people are having problems.

    • mandelbrot on 09/03/2023 - 14:27

      Pretty sure the AX6000 runs the quad core Qualcomm IPQ5018 CPU.

            @DoctorCalculon: i just got their email reply, requesting the same thing, which i provided, let's see how it goes.

            did you return yours as well?

              @Tyler Kwok:

              did you return yours as well?

              Nope. They won't process anything over chat.

              Waiting for their response via email - same as you.

              I have a feeling they will classify this as a change of mind return, and deduct 20% of the cost.
              Good thing I paid via PayPal.

              I will keep you posted.

              @Tyler Kwok: Aside from the photo of the serial number, what photos are you sending them?

              I wish I had my old ASUS AC router for testing the WiFi.

              Anyone know of a good utility app for testing WiFi performance objectively?

                @DoctorCalculon: They asked for front and back photo and a video of the issue, I told them the dns certificate issue is a product defect (it is imo) and send them a screenshot of the certificate error when accessing google.com.

                Even if it's a change of mind refund of 80%, i'd be happy to get my money back. It's pathetic my 10 yo ac68u beats it on wifi signal coverage, and there's no decent custom firmware to improve it. There is really no value of this router for my use case.

      I initiated a return and asked for refund as the signal strength was extremely poor. The PcByte support team acknowledged the issue but said that "vendor is looking into the matter". It's been a month and have received neither the router or refund.

      • DoctorCalculon on 03/05/2023 - 16:23

        Charge back or PayPal dispute.
        You will certainly be hearing back from them after that.

  • Lionheart on 09/03/2023 - 17:22

    I can't believe how bad the wifi strength is on this thing given its size and amount of antenna's, if anyone has any luck returning theirs please let us know here

    These have 3.0.40 global firmware are a pain in the ass to break into using multiple exploits and scripts you can obtain from multiple posts from multiple forums. I'm fairly sure you can't even flash chinese firmware on them but I'm confident you can use SSH to increase the radio strength though. Once I've figure it out I'll write a guide because I'm about 5 hours into this.

    • Lionheart on 11/03/2023 - 13:58

      Legendary, thanks so much, other than the bad wifi strength it’s working pretty good so far for me

    • DoctorCalculon on 12/03/2023 - 14:48

      Any luck with changing the WiFi power via ssh?

      • bboarder on 14/03/2023 - 00:29

        Sorry been busy away lately.
        I've enable SSH using forum post and hdr2: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/openwrt-support-for-xiaomi-ax900…
        To enter the scripts - open chrome, press f12. drag and drop script into console.

        Make sure to select the correct Region when you use those console scripts.

        If you can't access your setup page because of an error (possibly due to wrong region) after flashing use the edited link :
        http://router.miwifi.com/cgi-bin/luci/;stok="xxxxx"/web/init…
        token "xxxxx" can be obtained if you open f12 console of browser when at login page and see it.

        I had to factory reset my router about 5 times for it to finally work at step 9.

        At step 9 download the program Putty, select telnet 192.168.31.1 port 23. Username "root" password from step 8.
        Enter the telnet commands from step 10 one at a time and press enter between.

        The other forum to use is https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=1021385
        in particular this page https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=1021385&st=120

        There's limited info for what to do after SSH is enabled. One user on 4pda suggested that flashing chinese firmware onto global is more dangerous.

        Now I'm trying to test the signal strength after applying SSH commands.
        People think you need to change tx power/ and/or country code in SSH.
        Hopefully someone else can jump in here. I don't know what I'm doing and how to test. I believe -30db is the goal.

        Few SSH commands to test:

        cp -af /lib/wifi/qcawificfg80211.sh /lib/wifi/qcawificfg80211.sh.orig # backup
        sed -i -e 's/max_power=[0-9]/max_power=30/' /lib/wifi/qcawificfg80211.sh # you can try more instead of 30
        sed -i -e 's/country_code="[AZ]        "/country_code="CN"/' /lib/wifi/qcawificfg80211.sh # you can also put another region instead of CN

        iwinfo wl0 txpowerlist
        iwinfo wl1 txpowerlist
        iwconfig wl0 txpower 30
        iwconfig wl1 txpower 30

        bdata get CountryCode
        bdata set CountryCode=CN
        bdata commit

        nvram set CountryCode=CN
        nvram commit

        • messmorph on 12/04/2023 - 14:23

          Any luck. Anyone know how to improve wifi power ?

          • bboarder on 12/04/2023 - 14:35

            @messmorph: iwconfig wl0 txpower 30
            iwconfig wl1 txpower 30
            iwconfig wl2 txpower 30

            I think that is doing it.

            • DoctorCalculon on 12/04/2023 - 14:53

              @bboarder: I assume these settings are non-persistent, and you would need to ssh in and run these commands again after a reboot, correct?

              • bboarder on 12/04/2023 - 16:30

                @DoctorCalculon: If you factory reset yes I think you would.

                • DoctorCalculon on 12/04/2023 - 21:14

                  @bboarder: Great to hear.

                  Would you say the Wi-Fi coverage and performance is now on par with the Xioami AX6000 after upping the Tx power to 30 on all three radios?

            • mandelbrot on 13/04/2023 - 00:56

              @bboarder: Did upping the transmit power via SSH actually work?

    • id on 13/03/2023 - 18:42

      goodluck. if only it was that easy.

    I was running tomato on the ac68u unfortunately I didn't test the wifi str before I switched over to the ax9000 all I can say is that it feels faster. I was getting issues with my ac68u through brick walls. Having said that I'm running openwrt and not original firmware. I think they were able to bypass the secure boot on intl.

    • mandelbrot on 16/03/2023 - 12:27

      Is your AX9000 the Chinese version or global version? Did you have any problems loading openwrt on it?

      • diffusal on 16/03/2023 - 18:46

        I imported mine so it was Chinese to begin with and I didn't have any issues with loading openwrt. I read a recent post on the openwrt dev thread, very simple instructions for loading openwrt via TFTP.

  • Lionheart on 24/04/2023 - 10:10

    So is there a fix for this hunk of junk's terrible wifi performance?
