Xiaomi introduced Mi Router 3, its first 802.11ac dual-band router in China back in March last year, but it decided to launch only the Mi Router 3C 802.11n single-band router in India this month. We managed to get one from Taiwan recently for about NT$ 765 (Rs. 1640 approx.), which is even cheaper in China at 149 yuan (Rs. 1400 approx.). Check out the unboxing.

The Mi Router 3 comes in a plain box and has a simple design. It has four four external omni directional antennas, offers 802.11ac Gigabit WiFi, has 128MB Flash storage and 128MB RAM. It is easy to setup using the Mi WiFi app for Android and iOS.
On the back there is a input port, a WAN port and two LAN ports along with green colored indicators. There is also a USB port for sharing content with others easily. It is powered by MediaTek MT7620 processor.
On the bottom there are 411 cooling holes along with three cooling openings above the ports on the back that enhances the cooling of the router. It is not clear when the company is planning to launch the router in India. We will be unboxing the Mi Router 3C Indian retail version later this week.
