Telecom monitoring slogan

Now the hotspot of WiFi should be WiFi6! But do you really need WiFi6? Let's not say that WiFi6 is not yet popular, and mobile phones that support WiFi6 are not yet popular. Does your home broadband meet the 10 Gigabit requirement? Maybe gigabit broadband is not used yet. Is it really useful for you to arrange WiFi6 in such a family, or is it just to catch up with the trend, or do you think that you can use WiFi6 for more than ten years?

First of all, we bought WiFi. We need to know two questions. Can your home WiFi be fully covered? Can your broadband give full play to its WiFi function? Taking the current WiFi5 function as an example, the 80MHz bandwidth can run to a single-stream bandwidth of 433Mbps, while the 160MHz bandwidth can run to a single-stream bandwidth of 867Mbps, which means that even the current WiFi5 can fully meet the requirements of gigabit broadband by supporting new technologies. Do you still think you have to buy WiFi6? Then you have to upgrade your broadband first. And the requirements for the terminal are also very high. WiFi 6 needs 8 antennas in parallel to reach the bandwidth of 9.6Gbps, but the terminal equipment we currently use generally has only 2 antennas, and the peak bandwidth can only reach 2.4Gbps at this time. For example, Black Shark 3, which has more antennas now, is a dual-2 full coverage antenna design, which can achieve the highest 5Gbps speed of WiFi5 parallel.

So it is more important to buy the route now, or to cover the whole house. Full signal and full coverage are what you need. To cover the whole house, the best choice is distributed router, but the distributed routing of big brands is expensive, and the credibility of small brands is not high, while the brand of 360 routing is not small, and the routing in recent years is still relatively good. A distributed routing based on MESH-360 whole house routing, a set of WiFi6 with two routers is simply deployed, which is actually more expensive than Xiaomi's. Now let's take a closer look at the power of this distributed routing.

Product article

The overall packaging is quite personalized. The green background color at the bottom matches the product drawing, which is a 360 color, safe and green. There is a slogan at the bottom, which says, "The whole house is a good model, covering no dead ends". In fact, there are many types of 360 products for us to choose from, mainly focusing on the four functions of "whole house coverage, whole house roaming, whole house expressway and whole house guarding". Mesh distributed routing products can be based on their own

The router adopts Qualcomm's DAKOTA scheme, 4-core ARM processor, single-core main frequency of 7 17MHz, single-route dual-frequency AC 1 300,256 MB memory, 3 Gigabit Ethernet ports, and sub-route dual-frequency AC 1200,1256MB memory and/kloc-0.

After the product is unpacked, we can see two routers, which feel quite good, and this shape is more like a smart speaker.

The shape of this router won the IF Design Award. It is a triangular cylinder with rounded corners. The advantage of this shape may be good-looking, because they hide the antenna, but in order not to affect the signal, the plastic shell is used, the lower part has heat dissipation function, and there is an led indicator light on the front, so the overall design looks very simple.

The list of this dual-parent router is also quite true, because it is equipped with a network cable, which is still white, but shouldn't two routers be equipped with two cables? Although the networking of two routers can be done wirelessly. But personally, I think it is best to have multiple network cables, because this can reduce the trouble for users to find network cables later. The specific list is, two mother routers, two power adapters, a network cable and a manual.

Let's take a look at this adapter. It is 12V 1A, which means 12W. Generally speaking, it is still relatively small, and it is easy to find a suitable socket position.

There is a multifunction button on the top of the router, which is also the Colink pairing button of this device. When networking, press this match to complete the networking operation. In the case of two parent routers, other parent routers below the networking can be automatically identified. This operation is very simple, and it is simply set for the little fairy.

There is anti-slip glue at the bottom of the router and product parameters. The heat dissipation design of the product is also made, and a row of ventilation holes are made at the bottom, which is mainly the case in the current wiring. In order to control the temperature of the stabilizer, heat dissipation design is necessary.

On the back of the router is an Ethernet interface with WAN/LAN adaptation, that is, an interface that can be plugged in blindly, and then a DC power interface with a 12V- 1A power adapter, with a reset button at the bottom. This product is like this. Let's try this router.

Experience article

Before I experience it, let me introduce my house to you. My house is a suite with an area of nearly 180 square meters, and the usable area should be around 155 square meters. In order to cover the whole house, I have several routers, but mainly front and rear routers. Because it is a router of different brands, although the internal coverage is completed, I still have to manually switch the router after walking, and there will be connection problems in automatic switching. And our 360 whole house route needs to be replaced with the main route 1 and the auxiliary route 2.

The installation of the router is very simple, just plug in the power supply and the network cable that can connect to the network. Of course, if there is a problem with the network, the led indicator will show red.

Before replacing the new router, let's test the network speed of the old router in the back room. My broadband is 300M telecom broadband, but this mini seems to only support 100 megabytes, because it is used to supplement the room WiFi, so it is useless.

The initial network test is Shenzhen server, and the incoming network speed of the test is about 50M, while the highest network speed of this 360mini router is 100M.

The result of testing the website with 360 official tools is about 74 m.

When testing the network of several points of 1-5, we can find that the highest speed is 80 and the lowest speed is about 60. However, through another mobile phone, we can see the network interference, and we can find that the signals at the back points are poor, the stability is not very good, and the network speed is fluctuating. The key point is that the mobile phone will not automatically switch to the nearest strong signal route, but keep connecting to the router for the first time. Only this route is broken or can't be connected all the time, and the bad signal will make our network speed unstable. Although the whole house routing has not been enabled, it can be seen that the strength of this routing is still good.

After the old route test, we replace the new router by plugging in the power supply and network cable. You can enable the router. If you have a password in your router and don't want to reset it, you can directly connect the 360 whole house route to the old main router WAN, and then connect the two routers with electricity, so that the routes can be synchronized.

Now this is a sub-route, which was replaced by the previous 360mini.

Previously, the main router of this glory route was also replaced by 360 whole house route, but it was embarrassing that there was one interface missing. Fortunately, the connection is entered, and the 360 whole house routing does not support dual broadband, even if there is, it is useless.

After changing the route, we will find that the light of the route is still red, because we haven't activated the route and set it synchronously. Now everyone has a mobile phone, so it's too much trouble to use a computer. At this time, we need to look at the WiFi name under the router, connect the WiFi of the main route with the mobile phone, and start the 360WiFi management APP. Add a router according to the prompt. After setting it up, you will find that the light of the router turns green.

When the 360 whole house routing can access the Internet normally, you can set up a two-person routing network and a firewall to control the router and home Internet access through the "360 Home Firewall" APP in the future. After activation, you will find that the sub-route lights also turn green, and then we will briefly introduce some functions of this APP.

As for the indicator light, there is a description of the indicator light on the control page of the router. You will understand it after you have a look.

If you want to know what devices are connected to your router, you can view them through the whole house network in the application, and you can also scan the camera of the routing device connected to the Internet. Make your home network more secure.

For the internet management of family members, we can set up firewall and other functions to manage it. Of course, our APP also has many powerful functions, such as network acceleration, download acceleration, regular lighting, regular restart and so on.

APP is introduced here, let's continue testing!

The whole house takes a walk at 6 o'clock.

The previous route has been replaced by route 360. Here you can see that the internet speed in every place has reached full speed. Although the routing name has not changed from 1 to 6 points, the MAC address has changed. Of course, it depends on the background. Our route is the route of WiFi5, but due to broadband restrictions, we can only run to the network speed of 300M, but in fact, I think the network speed has soared to 400, and will soon fall back, just taking a screenshot to 370. After replacing the routing in Room 360, the signal in the whole room reached full load, and the network could not be lost and the speed dropped. The key point is that we can look at the signal strength, which can be kept at around 65db all the time. This signal strength can meet the needs of our daily games and videos.

Let's try watching HD videos online and drag them at will. The network is not stuck. First of all, it proves that the network is very good, and it can also be seen that the resource acquisition of the route is relatively stable. Each Blu-ray video can be stably supported. Here, we need to mention another function of the 360 router, namely, the Wi-Fi dual-frequency fusion function, the connection status of 2.4G and 5G, and the 360 whole house routing with dual-frequency fusion selects the best signal for connection by default, which is still relatively intelligent in the choice of signal and anti-interference. This also ensures the stability of our signal.

Finally, let's take a look at the measured network speed of the glory of the king. The game does not need to be displayed in the routed connection, because it requires video. Let's take a look at the speed measurement inside the king. Routing is faster than external networks. Are you a little surprised to see this? In addition to game routing, because people in the community use broadband, the network speed of many routers is slightly worse than the Internet when playing games. Obviously, 360 routing can speed up the game, so the obtained network is better than the mobile network.

360 whole house routing allows me to experience the whole house full signal, which is super stable and comfortable. For an ordinary home user, isn't WiFi5 at full speed in the whole house more fragrant than WiFi6 that intelligently covers some locations? Moreover, the price is more competitive than the price of WiFi6. WiFi coverage in the whole house is stable, and network connections can be managed at home. As a 360-blessing network security firewall, do you still need to worry about future Internet security? You can also check whether the camera monitoring at home is distributed routing, and you only need to deploy the whole house Wi-Fi signal at the price of ordinary routing. The Qualcomm Dakota scheme roams and guards the whole house, which can be said to be a truly fragrant router combination.
