| Mi router 3C with 4 antennas |
The router has 4 antennas which for the price point is one of its kind as other brands in this category provide only 2 antennas thus increasing the range. It supports only 2.4gHz band with speeds upto 300mbps. Xiaomi claims to provide software updates and it comes with 64MB RAM.
It has 2 LAN ports, 1 RJ-45 connector port, power port, reset button and has an LED indicator. Although it has 4 antennas, the number of LAN port seems less as tplink routers do provide upto 4 LAN ports.
This router will also go on sale on 23rd May at 12 pm via Mi.com
