The new router is powered by Huawei’s own GigaHome Hi5651T chip which carries a quad-core CPU that runs at a speed of up to 1.4GHz. The AX3 is also equipped with two dedicated power amplifiers that are designed to boost the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi signal alongside two more power amplifiers that are specifically meant for the 5GHz signal.
The AX3 also comes with NFC capability which allows NFC-enabled Huawei phone owners to connect to the router easily via the Huawei Share feature. Certain non-Huawei Android phone with NFC can utilize this feature as well.
