I recently purchased the Xiaomi AX3000 NE and attempted to integrate it into my existing mesh network, which consists of two AX3600 units paired via a script. Despite considerable effort, I managed to add the AX3000 NE as a node, but the setup is extremely unstable and laggy, even though all three devices are connected via Ethernet.There are a couple of issues I'm facing:
  1. Firmware Version and Language: The router page indicates that the firmware version is 1.0.25, and the entire interface is in Chinese. This raises concerns about whether the device is a global version, as it was purchased as such. The model listed is rd28.
  2. Firmware Update and Region Change: I am unsure about the latest global firmware for the AX3000 NE. Additionally, I need to know if it's possible to flash a global firmware onto a Chinese version of the router.
  3. Mesh Integration Issues: The integration of the AX3000 NE into the mesh network is problematic. When trying to combine the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels into a single network, one of the 5 GHz SSIDs from the AX3000 NE node is not included.
Has anyone successfully integrated the AX3000 NE into a mesh network with AX3600 units? What is the latest global firmware for the AX3000 NE, and can a Chinese version be updated to a global firmware?

Hi!

I have an AX3600 router and I tried to pair it with an AX3000NE in mesh mode. It has been a very frustrating experience. I canbconnectvtobthe AX3000NE web interface, but serup is only as router or repeater or access point. Not for mesh node. Also when set as mesh node it is laggy, it does not change to ethernet when I connect it to my AX3600 with an ethernet cable, and its web interface is totally pathetic. You cannot even changebits default password. Its price might be low, but its value is zero if it is so useless
