Hi i'm currently on an ftth connection with an unstable zyxel router provided from the isp, too many wifi disconnects the router hangs etc. I've put it into bridge mode and connected it with a dlink dsl2740b f1 running openwrt and it's rock solid but this router is old and it can't even surpass 50mbps on an ethernet connection. Anyway i'm looking into the xiaomi's ax3200 and ax3000t which one of the two will u recommend ? I want to be able to run ad block scripts, dnscrypt or maybe my vpn directly on the router and i've got around 20 devices on wifi from doorbells to laptops and ip cameras etc. From what ive seen the ax3200 runs on MT7622B / MT7915E and the ax3000t on MT7981B / MT7976CN but cant find any significant info to decide which is better. Should i buy one of this ? or go to a more expensive router ?
What's your favorite enthusiast LEDE/OpenWrt device? - #656 by harjasqs is kind of scary.
Thank you, so on wireguard they are almost on par, so if i buy the ax3000t and it ends up being the newer revision i wont be able to flash openwrt. Another router i saw that is not super expensive is the xiaomi ax6 with Qualcomm QCA8075 is this a better chip for openwrt compare to mediatek ?
at least for a while ...
performace wise, it is, but people prefer MT because it got better Linux support.
So for something stable in the long run Mediatek is the answer, sure things have change since the Atheros days.
Yup, the world keeps changing and will change again in the future.
Did you also check the Cudy devices (e.g. Cudy WR3000) which have similar specs and can be bought for good prices?
Yes ive seen that, but only 16mb of flash it's not an option for me thanks for the suggestion though. Right now i have another problem i can't find in EU the ax3200 xiaomi in stock or with a decent price, so maybe i'll buy the ax6s directly from china. Basically i'm between the ax3000t and the ax3200 since from what i know now mediatek is the most supported chip company.
Yep 3000t is simply beast for those money, and also looks nice. Have two, even wds works awesome. Hope they make white one with 2.5 gig ports someday.
Keep in mind that there are multiple variants of the ax3000T and only the first variant is supported by stable openwrt, while the international and latest variants have limited support with various issues yet to be solved
Yes ive seen it now on aliexpress they have a promotion with a final price of 33€ which makes it a great deal considering the lowest price for the ax3200 is 53€
This ax3200 have older cpu and slower than ax3000t .
But be aware i've seen some info that they've put some different chips for flash and switch? I have this older one series.
From what ive seen and i was able to find both cpu's are almost on par on the speed department the older ax3200 is a bit faster on wireguard but insignificant difference. Yes i know that newer models come with a different flash chip, but i think they are about to resolve this issue.
So the AX 3200 has openwrt support, so i can flash it with Open Wrt, if i order it from the Xiaomi shop.

well that's not the point,ax3200 is a better device for one single reason.old 2.4 ghz devices do not like wifi6. and for new hight speed devices you have mt7915.that is just my opinion.
Ok, a quick question, is this Cudy router also OpenWrt capable? Cudy WR3000S
Currently, there's no openwrt support, great device with 5 ports and 128M rom size
Ok thanks😢
What do u mean by that ? That old 2.4ghz devices will play better with the ax3200 mainly because it is an older router ? Both the ax3000t and the ax3200 are wifi6 routers
ax3200 have a wifi4 2.4 ghz radio, mt7622.
Good point. Just experienced issues with non dedicated 2.4 GHz zyxel devices...
