Unboxing the Huawei WiFi AX3 Router

For regular and not-so-techie folks, a router is just a router. It has been around for years and we thought that we are getting the optimum speeds and the router to go with it from our internet service providers. Apparently, that's not the case. While they serve the same purpose, not all routers are created equal.

The latest in the Wi-Fi routers is the newest 802.11ax technology also known as Wi-Fi 6. This new version is designed to provide high-efficiency Wi-Fi with faster speeds on both 2.4 and 5Ghz networks. If you have a network that is slow and contested with a lot of devices connected to your network, you should look into this new router from Huawei.

This ladies and gents is the new Huawei Wi-Fi AX3 Router. Ushering the era of Wi-Fi 6, this clean and sleek AX3 router features speeds of up to 3000 Mbps. Before we talk more about this, let's unbox it.

One of the challenges with other routers is going through walls. With the Huawei Wi-Fi 6, wireless signals can penetrate solid objects like walls and floors easily. It means that the phone will have good reception of the Wi-Fi signal even when connecting from upstairs or somewhere far from the router. 

Connected users would also be able to stream and level up their gaming like never before, thanks to the 1024-QAM and 160 MHz frequency bandwidth. Its speed can reach up to 3000 Mbps. (574 Mbps on a 2.4 GHz band and 2402 Mbps on a 5 GHz band). This one also has a quad-core Gigahome CPU allowing AX3 to give its best speed performance. Say goodbye to buffering and lagging!

Unlike traditional routers, you can connect a multitude of devices to AX3 with greater efficiency. Supporting OFDMA multi-user technology, it is capable to send data to multiple devices simultaneously (max. 4 devices on 2.4 GHz, max. 16 devices on 5 GHz). The highly powered quad-core Gigahome CPU also ensures smooth running of the processor. And, it is capable of connecting up to 128 devices overall on dual bands.5 No matter how crowded the space, it will serve different users and devices promptly.

Another thing that Huawei would like to highlight here is the Effortless Connection. Connect to the AX3 with a simple tap. This router will remember the password for you and let the guests you trust, connect to it easily.
