The Chinese giant introduced Huawei Wi-Fi AX3 as the world's first Wi-Fi 6 router. It went on sale at our certified dealer and offers a great price-performance ratio.
The Wi-Fi 6 standard offers much higher baud rates, smaller responses, and more connected devices at one time. They are gradually implementing the new technology into smartphones as well as other network devices.
Very low prices in EU warehouses
Huawei WiFi AX3 is available at Mall Store on AliExpress v global versions. In EU warehouses you will find Dual-core (AX3) Russian version with European ending and Quad-core (AX3 Pro) Brazilian version with American ending. However, you don't have to worry, both versions support English, Czech and Slovak, but for the BR version you will need an adapter for the European suffix.
Shipping from the Spanish warehouse is cheaper, so choose the AX3 Pro version (ie BR version / US charger). Order the RU version from the Polish warehouse.
The dealer also has a router Banggood, but it is only in the Chinese version. The browser interface supports only the Chinese language (must use Google translator). It is also available in EU warehouses with fast delivery.
