Seems a good router spec wise but out of stock already. Lol

Specs say Mi Custom ROM built on a highly customised version of OpenWRT. So the stock OpenWRT might be compatible.

Actually this is a let down. It only has only 2 Gigabit ports, if you are connecting devices like pi and your desktop you will run out of ports 🙁
For an extra of few hundred , you will get gigabit routers with 4 ports.

No WiFi 6 and 10 gigabit ports 🙁

I will rather have their shoe than the router tbh.
I expected at least 4 port with LAN aggregation.
They have let us down.

Xiaomi should stop releasing outdated junk in India which has stopped selling in China. Wake me up when there is Wifi6 router with 160 Mhz channel width support for under 5k.

Xiaomi is considered a low end brand in India in the non mobile space so it makes sense for them to launch entry level products.

people that need good quality routers anyways go for Asus, Netgear or Linksys

Actually their routers are of good quality and value for money. In this day and age, at least they should have couple of global models launched in India which caters to different sectors. As @tatyasky said, they release products once its stopped selling in China.
WiFi 6 might be an overkill for the state of ISP in India, but having a decent AC router with gigabit ports/Mesh routers is the need of the hour. Gone are days where we are limited to 10-20 Mbps plans.

i guess the primary problem is that they have priced it too close to the popular c6/a6 models. both of which (along with similar models from Tenda, D-Link) routinely drop down to similar levels and even lower. and it has fewer number of ports which is important to some folks. but it is still good to have an alternative. mi routers definitely are easier to manage than TP-Link in my experience.

Removed USB port. Not even USB 2.0 with their 16MB Flash. I'll take USB 1.1 too, c'mon.

This router is going for 1K now a days on Flipkart. Is there any con apart from 2 gigabit port and 1 year warranty? Thinking of flashing OpenWRT and using it.

Anyone knows how to set secondary Ip on this device to access the ont?
