This router has very slow download speed compared to Xiaomi AX3200.
The firmware is installed openwrt-23.05.2-mediatek-filogic-xiaomi_redmi-router-ax6000-stock... If you install OpenWrt U-Boot layout will be faster or not?
The loading speed of the device was unpleasantly surprising compared to the weaker model.
Hi all, installing the latest Dawn package breaks the radio (Generic unknown) on both 23.05 and SNAPSHOT, anyone know what changed that can cause this breakage?
I do agree. Speedtest shows my full 400/400Mbit speed, but loading webpages is very slow on all devices.
I have the opposite experiencing running a snapshot I built from a few weeks ago. Have you tried a snapshot?

Tnx Darksky! Todays snapshot is snappy; no more latency when loading webpages.
For a snapshot with Luci: go to https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/?version=SNAPSHOT&target=mediatek%2Ffilogic&id=xiaomi_redmi-router-ax6000-stock
Choose: Customize installed packages and/or first boot script
And add the following packages to Installed Packages: luci-ssl uhttpd luci-mod-admin-full luci-base libiwinfo-lua luci-theme-bootstrap kmod-mt7986-firmware

Dear Community!
I would like to upgrade my home network from 1gbit to 2,5gbit. Now I use 2 pieces of Xiaomi AX3200 (with OpenWRT), only in dumbAP mode. Now i deciedid to buy 2 pieces of Xiaomi AX6000 because of the 2.5gbit WAN port. My question is, how difficult to install OpenWRT on this devices? Because i read several problems. The speed on wifi is reach the 2,5gbit? or at least close to it... Both of my AX3200 where easy. Is there any thing to watch before buying?
Thank you!
I don't believe the WAN port is 2.5G, only the internal CPU so that wifi can theoretically surpass gigabit.
This is the Xiaomi Redmi AX6000 thread, not the Xiaomi AX6000 thread. Confusing names, I know!
So the 2 is not the same? 
Nope. Not sure what the marketing dept was thinking...
Edit: there is some progress for that model as well, but work in progress:
Thank you!
Does upgrading with the image in Luci also upgrade U-boot? If not, should I be upgrading uboot?
No, it doesn't. You need to upgrade it manually, but unless there's a very good reason for it (such as the bug it had in some versions of the 23.05 branch), it's better to leave it alone. You have a much higher risk of breaking the device beyond repair.

No.
Not unless you have a strong reason to.
Hello. I'm having constant problems with 5Ghz WiFi on this router, after about a day of being on, the internet stops working, where the clients connect to WiFi and somehow get the IP address from the DHCP server but have no internet (only broadcast is sent?) or local network connectivity (the router can't be reached from WiFi). When this happens, devices keep associating to the network; LuCi shows a good RX speed (using HE modes), but TX is stuck at 6 Mbit/s for all connected devices.
When this happens, the router is reachable just fine with Ethernet and everything connected through it (via dumb APs) or 2.4Ghz seems to work just fine, and in general the router seems to be rock solid apart from 5Ghz. I have initially thought this was problems with radars (I've had issues on other Mediatek routers, RT3200 and Redmi AC2100, but it looks like they've been fixed), but this happens even if I set ch. 36 and 80Mhz width, which supposedly shouldn't have them (?). I've been having the issue for about a year, it seems that it's a bit more stable on 23.05, but both it and latest and old snapshots have the problem (OpenWRT layout versions). My 5Ghz WiFi clients are mostly Samsung phones, Intel AX200 desktop and RZ616 laptop (though I've been having issues before buying it so not sure it's relevant). When it happens, restarting the interface helps for a bit of time, but the problem reappears shortly after.
Of the dmesg, the only suspicious logs I've noticed are the following: https://pastebin.com/fGJx44z0 (they seem to happen before restarting the interface, but I'm unsure...)
Here is my /etc/config/wireless: https://pastebin.com/akYbRJTU. Of other WiFi stuff, I'm running DAWN (between this router and 3 dumb APs), but I don't think it's what's causing the issues. My other 2 Mediatek routers are rock solid and don't seem to have the issue with the same devices, alhough it's difficult to move them around to be sure it's not a specific device causing the issue.
Is it a known issue and is there some fix to it? Filogic 830 works amazingly well as a router, and the WiFi performance is also amazing when it works, but it's so obnoxious; and getting a dumb AP for it seems stupid considering the WiFi chip that it has 
I don't have any issues.
wpa_disable_eapol_key_retries=1
This looks suspicious. Is there any way you could clean up some of the esoteric options, maybe switch to wpa3, etc?
WPA3 on OpenWRT breaks some of my old clients (for some reason, other routers work fine with WPA2/WPA3, but that's another discussion) so I'm not enabling it
I believe this option is related to KRACK fixes; I'll try disabling it together with WiFI roaming stuff, but I have the same exact options set on RT3200 and it doesn't seem to have any of the issues
I also used to have issues with wifi-speed on 23.05.2 flashing a recent snapshot solved these issues (see +/- 10 posts up).
I don't really have issues with speed (or if I do, it doesn't bother me). My problem is that at random, the internet completely stops working on all connected devices at once, untill I restart the router
And, radio just crashed again, with these settings:
config wifi-device 'radio1'
option type 'mac80211'
option path 'platform/soc/18000000.wifi+1'
option channel '36'
option band '5g'
option htmode 'HE80'
option cell_density '0'
option country 'ES'
option he_bss_color '3'
config wifi-iface 'default_radio1'
option device 'radio1'
option network 'lan'
option mode 'ap'
option ssid 'WiFi :)'
option encryption 'psk2'
option multicast_to_unicast '1'
option key '<redacted>'
option time_zone 'CET-1CEST,M3.5.0,M10.5.0/3'
option wps_pushbutton '1'
option disassoc_low_ack '0'
