Today’s review is dedicated to another new product from the well-known Xiaomi company, which was released in 2024 – the super-high-speed Xiaomi Router BE3600.
In general, routers have now gained great popularity and specifically expanded their functionality to increase user comfort and ensure smooth operation.
The Xiaomi Router BE3600 delivers up to 3570 Mbps wireless speed, plus it is equipped with a 2.5G Ethernet port. The device’s operation has increased efficiency by 50%, plus the router operates on two frequency bands 2.4GHz and 5 GHz and supports MESH technology.

Design
The design is made in a rectangular shape in a vertical design, the router is also used in an upright position-this is the idea of the manufacturer, which saves space and increases the efficiency of signal propagation.
There is an indicator light on the outside of the device, the blue color informs that the device is working properly and gives a good signal strength. The router is located in a place where there is an Internet cable and is mounted on legs, it does not have a wall mount.
The device has four high-speed signal amplifiers, and in simple words, antennas. Amplifiers are static, and if you want to turn them in different directions to amplify the signal, nothing will work. The Xiaomi Router BE3600 antennas are already excellent at catching the signal even through walls, the only thing that can slow down the feed a little is a concrete wall.
Functionality and speed
Xiaomi Router BE3600 has a two-phase connection capability. The 2.4GHz band works to increase the coverage area and boasts its stability. 5 GHz increases the data transfer rate, even when connecting multiple devices at the same time.
The router itself automatically selects the desired frequency range for a good signal supply, which increases the signal quality by 130%. The router is also equipped with OFDMA technology, which guarantees high-speed communication for HD streaming and video calls.
The main priority for the BE3600 is to overcome the speed limits set by previously installed versions of routers. This model has received Wi-Fi 7 and has the ability to output up to 3570 Mbit/s. If compared with previous models of Wi-Fi 6 routers, the actual throughput speed has increased by 50%, and the maximum theoretical speed is up to 48%.
Another distinctive feature of the BE3600 router is a 120% increase in data volume at a time if devices that support 4K QAM technology are used.
Xiaomi and Redmi devices are automatically recognized and given priority, activating the exclusive acceleration channel for low latency in games.
The router has a wide range of functions, but one of the disadvantages is the lack of voice control, but it is possible to configure the device via a smartphone.
Stability
Due to Qualcomm’s 4-core chipset with a clock frequency of up to 1.1 GHz, which is equipped with a router, the ultra-high-speed signal is delivered without interference. Due to this powerful processor, up to 130 devices can connect without loss of reliability and speed. Compared to the Xiaomi AX3000T device on Wi-Fi 6, the overall efficiency has been increased to 168%.
Mesh technology allows you to combine up to ten routers into one network, so if there are several devices in the house, it is automatically possible to connect to the nearest one while moving around the house without losing connection. The device is also equipped with a 2.5G Ethernet port. Thanks to this, the broadband radius reaches up to 2000M.
Conclusions
Xiaomi Router BE3600 is a router that runs on Wi-Fi version 7 and provides a fairly impressive data transfer rate of up to 3570 Mbit/s, with two-phase 2.4GHz and 5 GHz connectivity, OFDMA technology, 4K QAM, Mesh and a powerful processor that allows you to connect up to 130 devices.
The disadvantages are the lack of voice control, unregulated antennas and the lack of wall reinforcement.
