What are the protocol standards of the Xiaomi Router BE3600?

The Xiaomi Router BE3600 supports a wide range of wireless and wired networking standards, enhancing its performance and compatibility with various devices.
The wireless standards are as follows:
1. IEEE 802.11a operates in the 5GHz band, providing speeds up to 54Mbps. It offers a higher data rate and less interference than 2.4GHz networks, however, it has a shorter range;
2. IEEE 802.11b operates at 2.4GHz, which offers a maximum speed of 11Mbps. While it has a longer range, it is more susceptible to interference from other devices using the same frequency;
3. IEEE 802.11g combines the best of 802.11a and 802.11b, operating at 2.4GHz and offering speeds up to 54Mbps. It is backward compatible with 802.11b devices;
4. IEEE 802.11n uses Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technology, allowing multiple data streams. It can operate on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, achieving speeds up to 600Mbps, significantly enhancing range and performance;
5. IEEE 802.11ac, known as Wi-Fi 5, operates in the 5GHz band and can deliver speeds exceeding 1Gbps by using wider channels and advanced MIMO techniques. It is optimized for high-bandwidth applications such as video streaming and online gaming;
6. IEEE 802.11ax, also known as Wi-Fi 6, is the latest standard that improves overall network efficiency and capacity. It operates in both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, supporting speeds up to 9.6Gbps;
7. IEEE 802.11be, known as Wi-Fi 7, aims to provide even faster speeds and improved performance in dense environments. It is designed to enhance features like multi-link operation, allowing devices to connect to multiple channels simultaneously for greater bandwidth.
The wired standards are as follows:
1. IEEE 802.3 defines the physical layer and media access control (MAC) for wired Ethernet networks, specifying the basic operation of Ethernet;
2. IEEE 802.3u, an extension of 802.3, introduces Fast Ethernet, providing speeds of up to 100Mbps over twisted-pair and fiber optic cables;
3. IEEE 802.3ab specifies Gigabit Ethernet over copper cabling (1000BASE-T), allowing for data transfer rates of up to 1Gbps over standard Category 5 cabling;
4. IEEE 802.3bz, known as 2.5G/5GBASE-T, supports multi-gigabit speeds (2.5 and 5Gbps) over existing Cat 5e and Cat 6 cabling, making it suitable for high-speed network environments without the need for new infrastructure.
