Original Xiaomi WiFi HomePlug

Incredible product, works like a charm and straight out of the box, plug and play. Configuration was also easier than expected has now we can select the Chinese Region on the MI Home App while keeping the app language in English.

Delivery took 2 and a half weeks from the Hong Kong warehouse to Portugal which was a bit slow.
Also they failed to send 2 power adapters (device is Type A and in the destination country we use Type-C sockets). This is a device with two parts and both need to be connected to the powerline but they only sent one adapter so I had to buy one just for this purpose when Gearbest is suposed to cover this socket and adapter situations.

Again, great product, surprisingly good internet speeds on Wifi.
Attached are the speedtest results in a room of the house where I literally had no Wifi coverage before.
DL = 30.10 Mbps / UL = 10.47 Mbps with the Xiaomi Wifi network.
DL = 44.04 Mbps / UL = 10.54 Mbps by cable through the Xiaomi Ethernet Port.

This is a outstanding product taking in account its price point. You get the possibility of one wired connection and a wifi network. The materials and design is great just like almost every other Xiaomi product. Connecting is a breeze if you take the right steps. Connect the adaptors, open the Mi Home application near the extender adaptor set the MiHome to China region and it automatically finds the powerline and activates it. On a 100mbit connection I measure the wifi connection of this power line to an average of 45/49mbit witch is standard for Wi-Fi N. With cable I get around 70Mbit but that always depends on the electrical wire quality wire of each house. I'm super satisfied.

Suggestion

No cons at the moment although I believe that the order should include two power adaptors and not only one.

El HomePlug de Xiaomi tiene un diseño bastante bonito. Las carcasas de ambos aparatos son totalmente de plástico en color blanco. El dispositivo sub-machine, es decir, el que se conecta en la habitación a la que queramos hacer llegar la conexión de red, tiene un par de antenas de 3dBi para aumentar la cobertura Wifi. Los conectores de enchufe tienen el formato chino-americano y para utilizarlo en Europa tendremos que ponerles un adaptador a cada dispositivo que no viene incluido. No es un problema demasiado importante, pero sí que veo que es una pega a tener en cuenta y que indica que este aparato no está fabricado pensando en el mercado de fuera de China.

Suggestion

A parte, también hay que resaltar que los dispositivos de Xiaomi tienen una buena calidad que, normalmente, viene acompañada de un precio sensiblemente inferior a equipos que se puedan comprar en tiendas europeas. En este caso, lamentablemente, esa diferencia de precio no es para nada apreciable.

O powerline da xiaomi é dificil de se configurar pois necessita voce traduzir muitas coisas do chines. Eu mesmo so consegui configurar botando meu app como se estivesse na china. Depois de configurar a primeira vez, nao precisei mais mexer e funcionou perfeito com pouquissima queda de velocidade (Tenho 20MB de velocidade a para meu quarto que é um ponto bem longe do roteador, caiu para 19.5MB)

No Brasil temos um contra pois a tomada que ele encaixa é padrao "antigo". entao necessitamos de benjamin. Não recomendo colocar muitos benjamin pois pode influenciar na velocidade.

Gostaria de compar um segundo para ter na minha SmartTV porem não acho o que é apenas receptor.

Fui taxado na alfandega por causa de 2,00 Dolares.
