Xiaomi Mi WiFi Mini Router

I am considering buying the Xiaomi Mi WiFi Mini Router. I can order a single unit and wait for 2-3 weeks for it to arrive from AliExpress or I can order 2-3 units and use the faster shipment option and split the charges with anyone interested here. Looking for interested folks!

Of course, there would be additional shipping charge for local shipment So maybe this is not that good of an idea.

Ive bought the Xiaomi MiWifi Mini off AliExpress for approx Rs. 1.5k (it is also available on ebay for Rs.2.7k). Pretty powerful router at its price point, and have even flashed it with openwrt to open up numerous possibilities. Covers my entire house pretty well..

Is the stock interface available in English?

Looks like a solid option. Just use Translate to get the basics done and then forget about it?

if anyone plans to get it, maybe we can collaborate and order multiple units through paid faster delivery option? from the looks of it we can get four units for US $171.21 within a week. assuming DHL etc. take care of customs. not sure though.

Won't eBay at 2.7k be a better option?

could not locate it on ebay.in. did he mean ebay.com? plus you get a better chance at getting a refund if the seller is from AliExpress

Found a listing on ebay.in, but out of stock now.

I guess AliExpress is the only option then.

Well it was available on ebay.in a couple of weeks back...may be sold out now since even i can't find it... the stock firmware is in chinese but like chromaniac said, one can easily use the translate function in chrome to navigate...as i mentioned, I myself am using it with openwrt firmware which is in english, and give excellent performance with the router... the router is on all day with it downloading files via http/ torrents and never heats at all....

so officially supported by openwrt? that sounds good. did it get stuck in customs or arrived directly?
