Ahead of its time! The new Xiaomi BE10000 Pro router can do things you'll appreciate in a few years

Xiaomi has expanded its range of network elements with the new premium router BE10000 Pro. This device targets demanding users and small businesses – it offers top-tier connectivity, including two 10-gigabit Ethernet ports, Wi-Fi 7 support, and integration with the Xiaomi HyperOS ecosystem. In China, it sells for 1699 yuan, which is roughly equivalent to 5,000 Czech crowns.

Connectivity ahead of its time

The BE10000 Pro boasts features that most households can’t even utilize yet. In addition to the two aforementioned 10Gb Ethernet ports, it offers four more with a speed of 2.5 Gbps – bringing the total wired throughput to 30 Gbps. For comparison: an average household still has gigabit Ethernet, and a typical NAS storage with traditional drives cannot even handle such high speeds.

Therefore, the router can also serve as network storage – it includes an M.2 slot for NVMe SSDs (supporting sizes from 2230 to 2280) and a USB 3.0 port. Xiaomi has implemented support for remote file access, sharing via Samba protocol, downloading from Baidu Netdisk, and even the option to deploy Docker containers.

Wi-Fi 7 with triple band and AI optimization

The wireless section uses the Wi-Fi 7 standard across three bands – 2.4 GHz (up to 1376 Mbps), 5.2 GHz (up to 5765 Mbps), and 5.8 GHz (up to 2882 Mbps). The combined theoretical speed reaches 10,024 Mbps, which explains the model’s numerical designation.

The heart of the device is a Qualcomm NPro A7 processor clocked at 1.8 GHz, complemented by 2 GB of RAM. This hardware enables advanced AI features – the router offers five preset acceleration scenarios for gaming, streaming, video calls, live broadcasting, and online learning. The system can intelligently prioritize data flows according to the type of use.

Tower design with hidden antennas

The BE10000 Pro stands out from typical routers in terms of design – it features a vertical construction with a matte finish and dimensions of 242 × 70 × 273 mm. All 12 antennas are hidden inside the chassis, so the device doesn’t look like a technological hedgehog. On the front, there are seven LED status indicators.

Cooling is provided by a combination of several passive heatsinks and a high-speed fan. Xiaomi states that the router has passed 187 stress tests, including a 48-hour high-humidity test and seven days of continuous operation under full load.

Smart home hub with HyperOS

The router runs on MIWIFI ROM firmware and fully integrates with the HyperOS Connect platform. It functions as a smart home hub – it can connect up to 1000 network devices and, thanks to the built-in Bluetooth Mesh gateway, an additional 300 Bluetooth devices. It supports voice control via the XiaoAi assistant, touch-to-connect via NFC, and automatic password synchronization across Xiaomi devices.

Security features include WPA3 encryption, SSID hiding, and access control lists. The router also supports dual WAN/LAN aggregation for increased throughput or connection redundancy, IPTV, and the option to dedicate a specific port for a gaming console or PC.

The BE10000 Pro is clearly aimed at tech enthusiasts and small businesses that require reliable and powerful network infrastructure. For an average household, it’s overkill – few people today can utilize a 10-gigabit connection. On the other hand, if you want to be future-proof and enjoy the latest technologies, Xiaomi offers an interesting package. The question remains, when and for how much the router will be available outside China – a higher price than the current 5,000 Czech crowns can be expected upon global release.
