Having a fast and reliable internet connection doesn’t solely rely on your ISP plan. Chances are, even if you have the fastest Fiber connection available, you might still experience slowdowns if you don’t have the right hardware. That’s where the Xiaomi Mi WiFi Repeater Pro comes in.
Fiber plans like what PLDT offers already comes with a robust router. They are even offering a Google WiFi bundle to make sure the speeds remain consistent on your entire home. But if that’s overwhelming for you, you can check out the Xiaomi Mi WiFi Repeater Pro, now available for purchase in the Philippines.
As the name suggests, this is an over-engineered WiFi extender. It boasts two external antennas that have transfer speeds of up to 300Mbps.
It can also accommodate 64 devices connected all at once.

The usage and interface are also pretty straightforward. It has a wall plug design, so you can easily plug it in a room or a part of your house with the lowest signal reach from your router.
However, it’s noticeably large, which may block the outlets sitting right next to it.
Setting up the device is really easy using the Xiaomi Mi Home app. The Xiaomi Mi WiFi Repeater Pro also has setup-free automatic updates, so rest assured it’s always running in top condition.
The best part is, the Xiaomi Mi WiFi Repeater Pro is available in Mi Authorized Stores for a price of only Php599. That’s noticeably cheaper than most options out there.
This repeater picks your network automatically and extends it. Unless there are more than one WiFi network available, and then it might pick your neighbor’s instead and you can’t specify another. I had to shut down the other routers to force this to connect to mine network. Didn’t stay that way.
