Xiaomi MI ROUTER 4C

Description

The Xiaomi Mi Router 4C is a home networking router presented in a white finish. It is designed to serve as a central networking device for connecting compatible devices within a home or small-office environment.

With its Xiaomi Mi Router 4C model designation and clean white exterior, this router provides a straightforward networking solution for everyday connected-device environments.

Design & Build

• Form Factor: The Mi Router 4C is a stationary wireless router designed for indoor home and small-office networking rather than portable use.
• Antennas: Four external omnidirectional antennas provide 2.4 GHz wireless transmission and reception across multiple directions.
• Housing: White enclosure with a compact desktop-oriented design and permanently attached external antennas.
• Dimensions: Approximately 188 mm × 100.5 mm × 175 mm, including the antenna arrangement; dimensions can vary depending on the measurement method used by the manufacturer.
• Ports: Three Ethernet interfaces are provided: one WAN port for the internet connection and two LAN ports for wired client devices.
• Ethernet Speed: The WAN and LAN interfaces support 10/100 Mbps Ethernet rather than Gigabit Ethernet.
• Auto-Negotiation: Auto MDI/MDI-X automatically detects Ethernet cable wiring types, reducing the need for crossover cables.

Display

• Status Indicators: Network status is communicated through the router’s physical indicator LEDs and software management interface rather than through a display panel.

Performance

• Wireless Throughput: Up to 300 Mbps theoretical maximum on the 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11n connection under compatible conditions.
• Wi-Fi Standards: Supports IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, and IEEE 802.11n on the 2.4 GHz band.
• Wireless Band: 2.4 GHz operation; the supplied specifications do not identify a 5 GHz radio, so this model should not be treated as dual-band Wi-Fi.
• Radio Architecture: The wireless platform uses integrated 2.4 GHz low-noise amplifier and power-amplifier circuitry to support signal reception and transmission.
• Processor: MediaTek MT7628DA networking processor manages routing, wireless communication, Ethernet traffic, and router services.
• Memory: 64 MB DDR2 internal memory is provided for the router operating system and network-management functions.
• Routing: The device is intended for standard residential and small-office routing, including internet sharing, wireless access, and wired LAN connectivity.
• 3G Support: 3G connectivity is not supported.
• Power: The router uses an external DC power supply; the commonly specified adapter rating is 12 V at 0.6 A, equivalent to 7.2 W maximum adapter output.

Software & AI

• Operating System: Mi Wi-Fi ROM is an intelligent router operating system based on a highly customized version of OpenWRT.
• Management: Configuration and monitoring are supported through a web interface and Mi Wi-Fi management software for Android and iOS.
• Network Controls: Router-management functions include network configuration, connected-device administration, wireless settings, and troubleshooting tools.
• Firmware: Firmware-level router functions are handled by Mi Wi-Fi ROM.

Connectivity

• WAN: One 10/100 Mbps Ethernet WAN port connects the router to a modem, broadband terminal, or upstream network.
• LAN: Two 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN ports connect wired computers, televisions, consoles, printers, and other network devices.
• Wi-Fi: 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless connectivity with a maximum advertised rate of 300 Mbps.
• Antennas: Four external omnidirectional antennas support broader wireless coverage than a single-antenna design.
• Ethernet Compatibility: Auto MDI/MDI-X automatically detects the connected Ethernet cable configuration.
• Security: Wireless security and client-access controls are managed through the Mi Wi-Fi software and router administration interface.
• Mobile Management: Android and iOS router-management software can be used to configure and monitor the network.
• Excluded Connectivity: The router does not provide cellular 3G connectivity, USB modem functionality, or an integrated cellular modem.

Colors

• Available Color: White.
• Finish: The product is identified as the Mi Router 4C White variant; no additional color variants are included in the supplied specification.
