Pros and cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Affordable: Considered an excellent budget choice, especially for those upgrading from an ISP-supplied router. | Basic features: Both versions lack advanced functionality compared to higher-end routers. |
| Dual-band integration: Can combine the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks under a single Wi-Fi name for easier connections. | No Wi-Fi 6 support: Only supports the older 802.11ac standard (Wi-Fi 5). |
| Mi Wi-Fi app: The router can be managed remotely via the companion mobile app (Android and iOS). | Limited port speed (Standard Edition): The standard version's 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports will bottleneck wired gigabit connections. |
| OpenWrt compatible (Gigabit Edition): Advanced users can install OpenWrt firmware on the Gigabit version for more customization. | Inconsistent 2.4 GHz performance: Some reviewers note that the 2.4 GHz band can be unreliable. |
| Eco-friendly: The casing and packaging are made from recyclable materials. | No USB port: Lacks a port for connecting external storage or printers. |
