    Xiaomi Mesh AX3000 - Disable DHCP in Router Mode

    I'm getting so frustrated with these Mesh routers and the oddities of the software. All I'm trying to achieve is the ability to use 3 SSIDs by splitting 2.4/5Ghz and enabling Guest mode. I have my own Asus router, so would like to set x2 AX3000 units up as Access Points. For some reason...

    Xiaomi Mesh AX3000 NE - Guest Network in AP Mode

    I just received a twin pack of the AX3000 NE (white) APs today. To my utter disappointment, there does not seem to be a way to enable Guest mode when in AP mode. I plan to use both units as APs and connect them to my existing Asus router. The trouble I'm having is that I need at least 3...

    Micro USB port connexion problems

    Yes Xiaomi fixed it. The seller I bought it from in China sent it on to them. I used courierpoint.com as that was the cheapest courier quote I could find. They sent it via DHL on Friday and it was in China by the Monday. I had my phone back and fixed the following Tuesday. It cost me just over...

    Micro USB port connexion problems

    I've heard that Xiaomi havee redesigned the charging port so hopefully it won't be an issue after repair. Just got word back that Xiaomi have fixed mine and the seller from China has shipped it back. I would say a good backup solution would be to buy a spare battery and an external batter...

    Dragontrail screen protection?

    Yes it has Dragontrail glass. If you want to be absolutely be sure of no scratches then of course use a screen protector. I'm usually careful with mine and I don't like the feel of a screen protector. I haven't gotten any scratches on my phone in 3 months without protection. It's your own...

    Micro USB port connexion problems

    Wish I had read this yesterday! My phone is currently on its way back to China (from UK) for repair. I will let you know if they successfully repair the device under warranty. Note that I am sending the phone back via the seller I bought it from on Ali Express.

    Dragontrail screen protection?

    I disagree. If you're not careless then you don't need one. Simple as that. Sent from my MI 2A using Tapatalk

    That's terrible service. I will contact the shop I bought it from and see what they say.

    MI2A WiFi issues

    Hi folks, Although the signal has always been good and consistent on my MI2A, one problem I am getting is that my WiFi seems to slow way down randomly, sometimes to less than 1Mb/sec. I'm really not sure what is causing this. I've tried updating to the latest MIUI ROM and it is no different...

    4.4 Kitkat for MI2a

    Thanks for the new update. I had an issue with bluetooth whereby there seemed to be a lot of inteference/crackling etc when playing music over BT headphones. It's fine on stock MIUI though. Cheers.

    Possible faulty micro USB port?

    Never mind. I didn't notice the other thread that has been on-going here. Sorry! http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/micro-usb-port-connexion-problems.22518/

    Micro USB port connexion problems

    I have the same problem also. This is very concerning. Does anyone know how to get in contact with Xiaomi directly? This is clearly a build issue. This most definitely should be repaired under warranty. Maybe point Xiaomi to this forum thread as proof, although I suspect they probably...

    4.4 Kitkat for MI2a

    All working good now! I just did a factory reset and re-installed all my apps. Working really well so far. Antutu score 21,537 :) I'm sure on the MIUI ROM I was getting around 25,000 Antutu but I'm not really that bothered. Quadrant is only 6,080. I was getting nearer 10,000 on the MIUI...
