Networking in different places, stability first, evaluation of Dandelion X5 WiFi6 router

Routers are well-known network devices. However, the router located at home is often not as comprehensive as the enterprise router in function, because for a company, data sharing is the most basic requirement, and at the same time, it is necessary to ensure the security of files. In some special cases, it is also necessary to ensure that employees work smoothly in different places and cross-regional equipment can be interconnected. In the field of enterprise routers, dandelion brand has always been well-known and has a high market share. Recently, I received a version of Dandelion X5 router with WiFi6. Let's take a look at all aspects of this enterprise router.

I won't repeat the unpacking part. As can be seen from the label on the side of the box, Dandelion X5 supports intelligent networking, embedded peanut shell and cloud management platform. Accessories include power adapter, 4 silicone pads and expansion screws of wall-mounted router, and the manufacturer provides one-year free warranty service.

Dandelion X5 adopts black design as a whole. Compared with routers with different shapes on the market, it is really not fashionable and bright, but it is very solid in both materials and workmanship. When friends are still using PC plastic shell, Dandelion X5 adopts a sturdy and light sheet metal body, and the surface is coated with black oil, which can bring more excellent heat dissipation effect and ensure the router can run stably for a long time.

The machine size of Dandelion X5 is 230* 148*28mm, which does not take up much space on the desktop. At the same time, it also supports wall mounting. There are two small holes at the bottom of the fuselage, which can be installed on the wall by using the expansion screws in the accessories. Because the fuselage is slim, hanging on the wall will not appear abrupt.

With the continuous popularization of WiFi 6 technology, the new Dandelion X5 also supports the new generation of wireless network technology. It is equipped with four 5dBi high-gain antennas outside, which looks heavy. Although it is not detachable, it supports multi-angle adjustment. The transmission rate of 2.4GHz band is 573Mbps, and the transmission rate of 5.0GHz band is as high as 120 1Mbps, which can meet the needs of most people, companies or families.

Dandelion X5 has 1 WAN interface and 4 LAN interfaces on the back of the fuselage, all of which have reached gigabit level, which can meet the demand of optical fiber network access, let users experience the pleasure brought by high-speed internet access and make the network file transfer smoother. In addition, the five interfaces are equipped with lightning protection technology, and the safety is more in place.

Dandelion X5 also has a 1 multifunction USB3.0 interface. As long as you insert a USB flash drive or a mobile hard disk, you can set up NAS and easily store files remotely. And you can plug in a 3G/4G USB adapter and surf the Internet through a traffic card.

In the impression of ordinary people, the setting of enterprise routers should be very complicated, but it is not. The router setting interface of Dandelion X5 is very intuitive and clear. The setting interface divides the intelligent network and the application center into two menus, which can be used quickly even if it is the first time.

Dandelion X5 can realize many remote operations. Support peanut shell dynamic domain name resolution, sunflower remote boot, remote printing on the premise of successful remote networking. As for the establishment of NAS, it is simpler and can easily realize remote file sharing.

If you download the dandelion management APP, you can also remotely control it directly through your mobile phone, and set up various router operations including intelligent networking.

If NAS is established, as long as Dandelion APP is installed and downloaded on your mobile phone, you can * * * enjoy files in different places anytime, anywhere. In order to build a more secure and stable remote networking, Dandelion X5 also has a built-in encryption chip, which uses asymmetric RSA/AES algorithm for encryption, which is not only fast in operation, low in resource consumption, but also very secure, ensuring that * * * enjoys data foolproof.

Ordinary enterprise routers need to go through complex settings, including dynamic DNS, VPN, firewall, port mapping and so on. But Dandelion X5 is very simple to build a local area network. First, visit pgybox.oray.com through the webpage, add the router to the same oray account, and then select the router as a networking member, and the network can be successfully created.

In the interface of dandelion network management platform, you can know at a glance who the current networking members are, including hardware members and software members. Adding and deleting members is also very simple, but it should be noted that Dandelion only provides three free online members, and you need to upgrade your service if you exceed the number.

On the whole, as an enterprise router, Dandelion X5 is quite satisfactory in overall performance. On the premise of low price, it has the functions that most companies need to build an office network environment, and it is simple to use and set up, and also supports WiFi 6 technology, with fast and stable transmission speed. Asymmetric RSA/AES encryption algorithm makes files in cyberspace more secure. In fact, dandelion X5 is also an ideal choice for home use. It can easily set up NAS, and also supports remote startup of cloud print and Sunflower. I believe that many people will use these functions. Nowadays, the Internet age is developing rapidly. If you want to build a practical office network environment quickly, then Dandelion X5 router is worth starting with.
