Xiaomi’s Wi-Fi 6 routers will now support mesh support

Xiaomi has released updates for its three routers already supporting Wi-Fi 6 to now support mesh networking. It has also promised that all its routers having Wi-Fi 6 will get a firmware update to support the mesh networking.

The three routers include Xiaomi router AX3600 and AX1800. Along with that, sub-brand of Xiaomi, the Redmi AX5 router has also started receiving a new firmware update that can be installed through the Xiaomi Wi-Fi application. The Redmi AX5 Wi-Fi 6 router supports speeds of up to 1775Mbps which is about 52 percent faster than Wi-Fi 5.
