I was using ACT broadband connection, and we should make a note that this router does not come within built modem you need ADSL to connect the device. As I was using ACT fiber net, there is no requirement of any other additional adopters to use this device, and this device can directly use for almost all the fiber net providers like ACT, Airtel and some other local internet providers.
Configuring this Mi router 3C is very easy all you need is to connect the internet port into the WAN port, and it will start with a yellow light in from of router which turns into blue in few seconds which indicates the router is ready to use. You need to download the Mi WIFI app which is available in the play store, or you can get the app direct link by scanning QC code which is on the box or back side of the router.
After ensuring the app is installed just enable Wi-Fi connectivity on the phone, and you can find Xiamoi username as your nearby Wi-Fi.
Now you need to select it and login with the admin username and password of your internet service provider once you’re done it connects automatically, and you are ready to use the device very easy right?

Tracking of other devices and fixing some URL permissions to other devices is very easy using this MI Wi-Fi app. Unlike the other routers no need to login to your router admin section to fix the speed issues you can boost signal speed using boost option in the app.
You can log into router admin panel by default web address 192.168.31.1 and the default password as the Wi-Fi password.

You can able to fix a particular IP address to the specific device in your home or office. In this advanced mode you can setup port forwarding, and VPN accesses also.
Conclusion:
Video streaming in pretty good even though we stream YouTube from a long distance. When I stream YouTube from my living room which is of 10mtr distance from the palace where the router installed, I can stream 1080p HD video without any lag or delay even though there are 3 concrete walls enclosed. I was impressed with the performance of Mi Router 3C, and I will suggest this router if you are to have once for your home or small office use.
