Which is better, Huawei router or Xiaomi router?

In the middle of last year, we upgraded the original crowded photography studio. The biggest change was that we moved to several relatively independent large spaces, including office area, photography area and leisure area. Simply paint the walls and decorations, add various shooting equipment, and add three friends to work together. There are more people, and the place is bigger. Doing things is to be greedy. However, there has always been a problem that bothers me, that is, the network is often not very good, and the signal is not very good in a room far from the router. If a small partner downloads a large file on the computer, other people's networks will feel intermittent. After thinking about it, I think the problem may be that the router used is "overwhelmed" and it is time to change the router.

A friend gave a Huawei router WS5200 enhanced version and a Xiaomi router 4. Which one will replace the old router? Xiaomi router 4 claims to be a fiber-optic all-Gigabit intelligent router, and the slogan of Huawei router WS5200 enhanced version is Lingxiao dual-core true dual-frequency, that is, fast! Which is stronger? Next, let's compare.

The appearance is quite similar.

Huawei Router WS5200 Enhanced Edition and Xiaomi Router 4 are both "typical" in appearance, which means what routers look like in everyone's impression, so these two models are similar. They are all flat bodies with four omnidirectional antennas. Everyone is a pure white body and the design is very simple. The buttons are all in the middle of the fuselage, but the face value is still much higher than that of the traditional router. However, there is one more thing. The four antennas of the enhanced version of Huawei router WS5200 can be folded. In many cases, this retractable design is still very popular because it can better integrate into the home environment. Both of them are high-gain antennas, and the reasonable layout determined by precise testing effectively enhances the signal gain. In addition, the enhanced version of Huawei router WS5200 adopts LDPC weak signal correction algorithm, which can make you full of signals even in a room far away from the router.

On the back of Xiaomi router 4 is a Gigabit WAN port and two network expansion ports. Huawei Router WS5200 Enhanced Edition needs an additional network expansion port. Huawei Router WS5200 Enhanced Edition adopts automatic network port identification technology, which means that there is no need to distinguish different network ports, and the WAN port and LAN port are integrated together, so you can connect to the network by plugging in a network cable at will. This feeling is as simple, convenient and easy to use as upgrading the charging interface of a mobile phone from Micro USB to Type C interface that can be plugged in both directions.

Networking is "stupid" and very simple and convenient.

Compared with the router settings in previous years, the current products can be said to be very worry-free and labor-saving. In the past, before surfing the Internet or networking, professionals were required to start work or follow instructions step by step, but now it has been upgraded to a very simple "one-click Internet access". Xiaomi Router 4 is suitable for Xiaomi mobile phones and Mijia smart devices. Press the MiNET key to help smart devices quickly access the network with one key without a password.

The enhanced version of Huawei router WS5200 is more powerful. You can copy the account and password of the old router with one click and dial the Internet automatically. Moreover, Internet access can be configured in no more than three steps without a computer, while optical fiber users only need two steps. In other words, it is very simple to click on the phone and surf the Internet. Huawei also cooperates with more than 50 top/kloc-0 manufacturers in the industry, accessing more than 100 categories, covering more than 500 smart products. In other words, through the enhanced version of Huawei router WS5200, smart home appliances such as smart TV, smart air conditioner, smart sweeping robot and smart air purifier, as well as emerging smart digital devices such as smart door locks, smart speakers and smart lights can be easily and conveniently connected to the smart home networking.

Simple Test of Network Speed and Stability

Nowadays, people use more and more wireless devices, including Bluetooth, wireless mouse and keyboard, wireless headphones, wireless game consoles and other peripherals. Most devices work on the 2.4G channel, and there are more users, so many devices on the 2.4G channel are "crowded" and Wi-Fi interference is inevitable. At this time, it is particularly important for the router to switch to the 5G signal intelligently and automatically. Xiaomi router 4 sends two Wi-Fi signals at the same time, and the channels are independent and do not interfere with each other. The enhanced version of Huawei router WS5200 is a combination of two frequency bands, and the combined display will be automatically optimized. If it is close to avoid interference, it will automatically connect to 5GHz, if it is far away, it will automatically connect to 2.4GHz. So who is stronger?

Simply compare the strength and connection stability of Wi-Fi signal. Simply put, the unit of Wi-Fi signal strength is dBm. Signal strength-the normal value is between -30dbm and-10dbm. The smaller the absolute value of the number, the smaller the attenuation and the better the network connection.

The first group is to test that two routers and mobile phones are in the same room. At this time, Xiaomi router 4 is -37dBm, and Huawei router WS5200 enhanced version is -33dBm. At this time, everyone's network connection is good.

The second group of tests was conducted in another room far away from the router, which was blocked by a wall. This time, the performance of Xiaomi router 4 is -53dBm, and the performance of Huawei router WS5200 enhanced version is -47dBm. The performance of the two routers is still equal.

The third group of tests was conducted outside the office, separated from the router by four walls. At this time, the gap is somewhat obvious. The data of Xiaomi router 4 is-133dBm. In this case, you can't surf the Internet smoothly, and you can't watch videos or live broadcasts online. On the other hand, the enhanced version of Huawei router WS5200 displays data of -88dBm, and you can still watch live broadcasts and videos online in this environment. The test environment is far away from the router, so we can see who is stronger between the two.

Everyone has an intelligent control APP function.

Both Huawei Router WS5200 Enhanced Edition and Xiaomi Router 4 can control, manage and optimize router settings through APP. Everyone has the functions of speed measurement, anti-rubbing, intelligent speed limit and visitor Wi-Fi, and there is not much difference between them.

abstract

After a period of experience and the simple test mentioned above, I chose Huawei router WS5200 enhanced version and Xiaomi router 4 as the main tasks of the studio router. This Huawei router WS5200 enhanced intelligent router not only has the functions of self-developed dual-core processor, blind insertion of network port, dual-frequency automatic switching, scalable design, support for Huawei HiLink and so on, but also is stable and assured. Below are some photos of the enhanced version of Huawei router WS5200 in my studio. If you are considering which router to choose for yourself, I suggest you know more about this router. You can't go wrong.

Hope to adopt!
