Description

The Xiaomi WiFi Range Extender N300 is a compact, plug-in device that extends 2.4GHz Wi-Fi up to 300Mbps for up to 16 devices. It features dual external antennas, WPS one-touch setup, and WPA/WPA2 security. Ideal for browsing and HD streaming (according to Rajshahi Tech), it’s less suited for gaming or high-speed tasks due to its single-band limitation and occasional speed drops.

Overview & Specs about Xiaomi WiFi Range Extender:

• Wireless standard: 802.11b/g/n on 2.4 GHz only
• Max speed: Up to 300 Mbps
• Antennas: Dual 2×2 external antennas
• Device support: Up to 16 simultaneous connections
• Security: WPA‑PSK / WPA2‑PSK encryption.
• Power input: 100–240 V AC, ~0.35 A (≈3.6 W).
• Physical size: ~80×54×70 mm; plug‑in form-factor.

• Additional features: One Ethernet port (10/100 Mbps), WPS button, wall-mounted design.

Xiaomi WiFi Range Extender Setup & Design:

• Plug-and-play: Just plug it in near your router and use WPS pairing or the Mi Home app for setup; works with both Xiaomi and non‑Xiaomi routers.

• App-based setup issues: Multiple users on Reddit report frequent connection failures using the Mi Home app—timeouts, authentication errors, or not even seeing the device’s SSID during setup.

• Misleading documentation: Some users purchased two units and found neither visible via Wi‑Fi, despite being plugged in. Setup instructions and actual device/app behavior often diverge notably.

Performance & Coverage:

• Boosts coverage modestly: The dual external antennas help extend Wi‑Fi into weak signal zones—but only on 2.4 GHz.

• Bandwidth halved: As a classic repeater, throughput is limited—expect real-world speeds significantly lower than 300 Mbps, especially under simultaneous device load.

• Latency & stability: Users report frequent drops, inconsistent connections, and reconnection loops—especially when router channel optimization is enabled.

Best Use Cases:

This extender could serve in simple, low-traffic environments:

• Small apartments or homes with minor dead zones.

• Legacy Wi‑Fi devices limited to 2.4 GHz.

• Budget setups where no $20+ repeater is affordable.

• Temporary use where high performance is not needed.

Final Verdict:

The Xiaomi N300 is a low-cost Wi‑Fi repeater that delivers only basic functionality. Its 2.4 GHz-only band, limited 300 Mbps cap, and repeater performance bottlenecks make it outdated for modern needs. Setup can be inconsistent depending on network environment and router compatibility.
