Mi WiFi 3 is the new low cost 802.11ac WiFi router by Xiaomi that sells for about $40. GearBest send my one sample for evaluation, and today, I’ve taken some photo of the device and board, and connected the UART pin to see if the serial console was accessible for people who want to try to port OpenWrt for example.
Xiaomi Mi WiFi 3 Unboxing
There’s some information on the package, but everything is in Chinese, except the part about AC1200 meaning it supports up to 867 Mbps with 802.11ac and 300 Mbps using 802.11n.
The router comes with a 12V/1A power supply, and a user’s manual in Chinese only. There’s also a QR code inside the box linking to the Android and iOS apps, available both in English and Chinese, so actually that one of the few Xiaomi product that should be easy to use outside of China without some hacks.
The router has four external antennas.
The rear panel features a reset pinhole, a USB port to connect storage, two LAN ports, one WAN port, and the DC jack.
Xiaomi Mi WiFi 3 Router Teardown
First it looks like I only had to pop the bottom of the case with some plastic tool, but then I noticed a screw in the middle was holding it together. So I had to pierce through the sticker with my screwdriver to completely open it.
I was a bit surprised that they had used such as large enclosure for a small board, but maybe marketing is in play here with bigger is better? [Update: Actually, it’s for the router to avoid falling backward due to the weight of the antennas]
Beside the three GLGNET GSD16002LF 100Mbit magnetics, the main components include Mediatek MT7612EN 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi 2T2R chip, a chip under a small heatsink which must be MT7620A, and NANYA NT5TU64M16HG-AC DDR2 chip (64 MB). You’ll also notice the pin for the serial console are clearly marked on the right side, but more on that below. The two 5GHz antennas are on left, and the two 2.4GHz antennas on the right in the picture above.
The bottom of the board features Spansion S34ML01G100TF100 flash with 128 MB capacity.
Xiaomi MiWiFi 3 Serial Console
I’ve also soldered a 4-pin header on the right side of the board (GND, Tx, Rx, and 3.3V). to check if I could indeed access the serial console with a USB to TTL debugger adapter.
Then I started minicom with the usual settings (115200 8N1), powered up the board, and I could get the serial log:

As mentioned in the introduction, GearBest sent the review sample, and you could purchase the router for $34.99 shipped from their website. The router is also sold for less than $40 on Aliexpress, GeekBuying, and probably other e-retailers.
