The Xiaomi Mi Router 3G comes with four upgrades to its predecessor - dual-band, support for USB 3.0, 128MB ROM, and 256MB of RAM. It makes the use of 'Gigabit Ethernet' port design to meet the 100M fibre-class broadband for up to 128 simultaneous devices.

This feature is available in most areas and to some Unicom broadband subscribers in China.

It is powered by a dual-core 880MHz MediaTek MT7621A processor to reduce network delays while data transmission. It also supports USB 3.0 technology for faster local area network to share local files.

The Xiaomi Mi Router 3G also comes equipped with Internet security features to protect devices and data from cyber threats. The dimensions of the router are 195x131x177.3mm and weighs in 260.4 grams.
