The Present Situation and Problems of Internet Cafe Construction

Pay attention to the choice of network equipment.

A stable, reliable, high-speed and smooth network does not need much investment, but it can bring good experience and impression to Internet cafe customers, so that Internet cafes can obtain sustained profits. An Internet cafe needs dozens or hundreds of computers, but only one router and several switches. Take the well-known domestic network equipment brand TP-LINK as an example. As the core router of the network, TP-LINK TL-R480/480E series broadband router for Internet cafes and TL-R490/490E series broadband router for game Internet cafes are high-speed and high-stability router products tailored for Internet cafes. There are 1/2/4 different types of WAN ports, and the number of Internet cafes ranges from 150 to 750, while its market price is only 1000 to 2,000 yuan, which is cheaper than a 15 inch LCD screen. Even the number of Internet cafes with optical fiber interfaces is as high as/kloc-. TL-SF 1024 24-port10100M products produced by TP-LINK are used as network access switches, and the market price is only 500 yuan to 600 yuan, which is equivalent to 20 yuan for each computer. Compared with other investments, it's really nothing. Therefore, savvy Internet cafe owners are more willing to invest in network equipment. For example, when TL-R480 is temporarily enough, they prefer to use TL-R490 or TL-R4000 to get better performance, which is also convenient for expanding the scale of Internet cafes and adapting to increasingly complex network applications. You only need to spend one or even half a computer to make the Internet cafe network faster, better and better, make customers more satisfied, have more advantages than competitors, and make you worry for a long time. Why not?

As mentioned above, the importance of network infrastructure construction, in the specific procurement process, there are two issues that cannot but attract special attention.

Question 1: Choose a brand.

There are many network devices in the market, with different quality and uneven price. As a non-professional person, how to choose? The best way is to choose professional well-known brands with good reputation and large market share. Brand represents the quality and service of products. When you choose a famous brand, it is equivalent to choosing quality assurance and service assurance. I believe everyone feels the same way in this respect. On the one hand, the large market share reflects the quality and service of products. If the quality is not good, it is impossible to sell so well, and there is more than one. Selling more and selling more shows that the enterprise has great strength, and correspondingly, it can also guarantee long-term quality service. On the other hand, a large market share also provides a better price. Large-scale production can greatly reduce the procurement and manufacturing costs and provide better prices accordingly. Here I recommend TP-LINK network equipment, a leading network brand in China, to independently develop and manufacture a full range of network products, with good product quality and service reputation. All kinds of network products are among the best in market share and are famous for their high quality and low price. Their products are very suitable for Internet cafes, especially their original router series products for Internet cafes, which are famous for their complete variety, powerful performance, stability and reliability, rich functions, simple use and low price. Looking around the market, they are unparalleled.

Question 2: Use together.

Let's start with the router. When many Internet cafes choose the router of the core equipment of Internet cafes, they accidentally choose some products that are not dedicated to Internet cafes or products that are branded everywhere without their own research and development capabilities. The throughput is not enough, and the router is often blocked. It's easy to crash in traffic jams. It's like the sewer at home is blocked all day. Is it annoying and difficult to repair? Finally, we have to change it again. Why bother? In addition, some Internet cafes with multiple access lines did not carefully compare the routers with multiple WAN ports, and accidentally bought some unprofessional and inferior brand products. Once the line fails, it cannot be switched automatically! You must stop and reset it before using it. When the fault recovers, you must stop and reset it. It's like pulling the master brake at home, and the days are not over yet. Isn't it terrible? For another example, there are some professional-looking routers on the market. In fact, buying it back and opening it is an idiot, and the key application instructions actually need programming! Just like losing line by line in DOS, how many people still use it these days? ! Read the instructions. The dense command line is as difficult to understand as a gobbledygook. Ask the manufacturer. Teaching sentence by sentence is exhausting! Once the hotline is blocked, the internet cafe will have to close down! Therefore, when choosing a router, Internet cafes must pay attention to choosing products with professional brands, dedicated Internet cafes, concise and clear menu settings and fluent and detailed Chinese descriptions, which can really meet your actual needs. Ask more about throughput (remember: don't forget the throughput of 64-byte packets) and compare whether the function is practical, so you can use it comfortably when you buy it back!

Let's talk about switches and network cards first. These two products are easily overlooked by many Internet cafes when purchasing. I always feel that such a simple product is almost enough, but it is not. Many Internet cafes choose suitable routers, but the quality of switches and network cards connected to the routers is poor. No matter whether the switch or the network card is faulty, the same thing is reflected as the line is blocked or the network is stopped, just like the water pipe embedded in the home decoration is very good, but the quality of the faucet is poor; The pre-embedded wires are good, the socket quality is poor, and the water and electricity are still useless, just as annoying! If the quality of the network cable is poor, it will be even worse. You often hear about the failure of Internet cafes. It's the network cable, but the network cable has been buried. This is terrible. Although the internet cafe is closed, although it is not so exaggerated, the whole renovation has started again, but it will not be solved in a day or two! Moreover, there may be different degrees of compatibility problems between products from different manufacturers. Therefore, it is best to use the complete set of products and solutions of the same well-known manufacturer when purchasing, so that on the one hand, the reliability is guaranteed, the network upgrade and maintenance are relatively simple, and centralized procurement is more conducive to bargaining, which is both worry-free and money-saving. The TP-LINK recommended in this paper has a complete product line, covering all kinds of network equipment required by Internet cafes, such as routers, wireless products, all kinds of 100M network management/intelligent/basic switches, hubs, network cards, optical fiber transceivers, ADSL and so on. And even provide more than five kinds of high-quality network cables, which can realize one-stop procurement and enjoy many benefits of one-stop service. TP-LINK also provides overall solutions for various Internet cafes. More relevant solutions and product information can be found on www.tp-link.com.cn website.
