About two years ago, when the promotion of 3G network was in full swing, I didn't go to 3G for the first time. First, I thought the set price was expensive at that time; Second, I think that WiFi of routers is available at home and in the company, so there is no package. However, the subsequent popularity of WeChat and Weibo finally forced me to pack a traffic package, which made me extremely happy. I could chat and read stocks on Weibo anytime and anywhere. After half an hour, I felt uncomfortable without brushing Weibo. However, the problem also came. The power consumption of my mobile phone was fast. The mobile phone that got up in the morning and charged was low by 2:00 p.m.

This article is from: Ainongji Digital Alliance Contribution from member Xiao'an (Weibo @ most digital Xiao'an).

So I installed various power saving optimization software, tried to save power, and bought a mobile power supply. However, my memory is not good, and I always forget to bring it. As a young man who is almost 24 hours online and whose mobile phone is short of power every day, when Huawei Meow King came out, I did not hesitate to get one at the first time.

Everyone in Huawei is familiar with the successful manufacturers in the field of communication technology. For mobile phone 3G network peripheral products, Huawei's E-series 3G Internet routing is a product used by many people. If the Internet traffic card is plugged in, the 3G network signal will be converted into Wifi signal, so that mobile phones and tablets can use the 3G network at the same time, and friends around them can also use it.

In fact, the main function of "Meow King" is 3G router. However, Huawei has integrated the fixed broadband RJ45 interface and mobile power function in the original E-series 3G router function, which makes this product worth sending for more reasons.

Although the 5200 mAh battery capacity is not large, except for the power required for Meow King's own operation, it can basically charge all mobile phones on the market for 1.5 times. I think this capacity is OK. It's easy to make a large capacity, but the weight and size will increase again.

According to the official data, the battery cell used by Meow King is Sanyo or Sony, and its quality is relatively reliable. If it is in the 3G routing mode, it can work continuously for about 16 hours. If it is in standby mode, it can stand by for about 500 hours, which is more powerful. In addition, Meow King supports Internet access while charging. When the 3G router is running, it can be charged if you plug in your mobile phone.

On the back of the interface, the USB port on the left is connected to the data cable to charge devices such as mobile tablets, while the Micro USB in the middle is used to charge King Meow himself. The addition of the RJ45 network cable interface on the right is a selling point of King Meow. People who often go on business or travel will know that most hotel rooms are not covered by free wireless signals, but there are usually network cables. Plug the network cable into Huawei Meow King, and Meow King will automatically switch to use the network cable to connect to the Internet, so that 3G network traffic is not required.

Meow King's Wi Fi uses 802.11n technology, plug and play, without any settings, and the wireless transmission rate is 150Mbps. Now, 360 portable wifi and Xiaomi portable wifi are two other products, and I think they are fake portable wifi. In fact, 360 and Xiaomi portable wifi is a wireless network card, which connects a computer that can access the Internet through USB interface, and shares the network used by the computer in the form of wifi for mobile phones. If we travel, the hotel provides an Internet cable, but do we have a computer, how can we plug in this portable wifi to access the Internet?

The accessories are simple, including a data cable and a 5V 0.5A power adapter. When there is no access, it will automatically sleep and save power. When the access is resumed, Meow King can respond quickly. In addition, it supports the regular shutdown of wifi function.

The size of Meow King is 99.0mm × 66.3mm × 22.5mm, and its weight is about 170g. It is the size of a bar of soap. Two iPhone 4 phones are thick and light to carry. Because of the height of the RJ45 network cable interface, it can't be made thinner, but I think it can be made longer. The battery capacity will be more perfect when it is increased to about 8000 mAh, and the size growth is almost as long as the mainstream 5-inch screen mobile phones. I don't think it will bring too much burden on carrying, and the charging time is as long as the mobile phone, It's easier to hold it together.

Meow King's shell is made of IML model injection molding process. The surface is smooth and smooth, and the grip is good, but it is also easy to scratch. Therefore, it is better to equip it with a cloth protective bag. The back and side are made of frosting process, which has the function of anti-skid.

When you open the back cover, you can see the SIM card slot. In order to make a difference from other products, Huawei has applied its own strength in 3G equipment manufacturing to Meow King without reservation. With the support of DC-PA+dual carrier technology, Meow King's Internet access speed is 5.76 Mbps, and its downlink speed can reach 43.2 Mbps. Compared with other similar 3G portable routing products, the speed is increased by 300% - 600%. Under the domestic network situation, the traditional HSPA+technology can only reach the speed of 21 Mbps.

In addition, we also need to pay attention to the antenna performance. The built-in UMTS/GSM main antenna, UMTS diversity antenna, and WLAN antenna are Huawei's strengths. The antenna performance is good, and the use of Meow King in underground tunnels and high-speed trains is not afraid of signal fluctuations.

The hidden design of Meow King's indicator light can not be seen when it is not working, and it will also be automatically hidden after a period of time. It can save some money. From left to right, there are LAN status indicator light, mobile network signal strength indicator light, wifi status indicator light, power indicator light, and SMS indicator light.

These status indicators will change color according to the working status. For example, if the network is not connected, it will display red, if the power is weak, it will display yellow, and the power indicator is integrated on the switch, it will be white.

Press and hold the power for about 3 seconds to start the machine. Meow King connects to the network quickly, about 5 seconds later. The initial wifi password will be printed on the back of the machine. Open the back cover to see, fill in, and connect quickly.

How many machines can Meow King's wifi connect? The official didn't say, but I simply tried it. I connected 8 mobile phones and 1 computer, which was still quite powerful. In the test, if I used an Internet cable connection, the 3G network indicator light will automatically go off, which means that I no longer use the 3G connection.

I went out to dinner with my sister on the weekend. I took Meow King and simply tried the Internet effect outside. The speed was relatively fast. Web pages and videos were basically loaded in seconds. My sister thought this thing was also beautiful and wanted to use it.

What is this doing? As a self portrait maniac, this sister, Yu Ting, pushes a lot of photos to the Internet every day. With the cat king around, she can meet the needs of self portrait and sharing anytime and anywhere. Is it faster for her to take self portrait and then try to upload it to the Internet than before.

I am very satisfied with the upload speed of the self taken photos and the girl logo. Can I not be satisfied? The DC-PA+dual carrier technology carried by Meow King has become the fastest 3G router in the world.

Meow King 3G network transmission rate test

Huawei has produced several portable Internet partners before Meow King and has rich R&D experience. On Meow King, Huawei has made full use of its own strength in manufacturing 3G equipment. Meow King supports DC-PA+dual carrier technology. The online speed can reach 5.76 Mbps in the uplink and 43.2 Mbps in the downlink. Compared with other similar 3G portable routing products, the speed is increased by 300% - 600%. Under the domestic network conditions, the traditional HSPA+technology can only reach a speed of about 21 Mbps.

However, in actual use, the signal strength of the 3G network and the number of people accessing the network at the same time from the base station will affect the speed of network access to a certain extent. The following will simply test the network speed of Meow King 3G in several scenarios.

At the end of December, I went to Shenzhen for a business trip, and tested Meow King's Internet speed on the way. Free WiFi is available in Hangzhou Airport, and it is very powerful. The test download speed of 565.2kB/s is comparable to my family's 4M fixed broadband, but it was tested with Meow King+Unicom's 3G card, and the speed is even more amazing, 951.kB/s, It has exceeded the conventional download speed of 8M home fixed broadband.

In a hotel in Futian District, Shenzhen, there is no free wifi, but there is a fixed broadband cable. Plug in Meow King and test it. Maybe the hotel has a limit on the Internet speed of each room. The download speed is 162kB/s. This speed is not very ideal. It takes a long time to load web pages and videos.

After that, we tested the Internet speed of Meow King+Unicom 3G card. The average speed can reach 663kB/s, which is very fast. Maybe because of the distance between the city center and the base station or the number of people accessing the 3G base station, the average speed is slower than that in Hangzhou Airport, but the maximum speed is 813kB/s.

On the way back from Shenzhen to Hangzhou to the airport, I also tried the Internet speed. Although it was on a high-speed car, the network connection was relatively stable, and it seemed that because there were few base stations near the expressway that used 3G network, the download speed was 817.2kB/s, and the speed was still considerable.

I also tried Meow King on the Hangzhou subway. Although it was underground, the network coverage was good. It was stable and fast all the way, but I forgot to take photos.

Android E5 Assistant Software Setup Tutorial

As a wireless routing device, Meow King certainly has its own SSID and control management interface. These information are printed on the nameplate on the back of the machine, and can be seen after opening the back cover. The following shows how to use a computer to access Meow King through the web management control interface; And use the "Huawei E5 Assistant" on the mobile phone to set and manage Meow King.

First, let's introduce the management application "Huawei E5 Assistant" that can be used on the mobile phone tablet. You can visit the website of Huawei terminal to download the application, or you can download the application in the APP Store and Google play.

Simple test of Meow King signal strength

As a 3G portable route, signal strength does not seem to be the key point. However, it is also possible that Meow King may be placed in one room and access the network in another room, so it is necessary to test the signal strength. In addition, in order to understand whether there is a difference in signal strength between routes without external antennas and routes with antennas, Therefore, a home router is added for comparison.

Point A - 1 wall interval

When point A is separated by one wall, the cell phone signal display has three cells. The signal of the home route with an external antenna is stronger and full.

On the computer, the received signal is also one grid less than the Meow King, while the home route with antenna is full.

If you use software to see the specific strength of the wireless signal, you can understand the signal difference between the two more clearly. The signal strength of the home wireless router is about - 40dB, while that of Huawei Meow King is about - 55db. In fact, there is not much difference.

Point B - 2 wall intervals

At point B, the mobile phone is used for testing. At this point, the router signal is separated by two walls. From the signal strength, only one grid is displayed on the mobile phone. The mobile phone can connect the router and Meow King, but the network delay is high and the network speed is slow.

From the signal test software, because of the external antenna, the signal strength of the domestic route is more than that of Meow King, which is about - 85 db.

Because Meow King has RJ45 interface, and its firmware has complete router software functions and supports PPPoE, it can be used as a home router. Although Meow King does not have an external antenna, the internal antenna is very powerful, which can basically ensure good signal strength when penetrating one wall. In the case of two walls, the signal can be detected, The connection can also be established, but the network latency is high. If there is no barrier, it is expected that the signal of King Meow can establish a good connection within 30-50 meters.

Meow Web setting interface

You can also manage Meow King through a computer like an ordinary router. The login address is "192.168.8.1", and the management account and password are still admin

The home page interface, like the management application "Huawei E5 Assistant" on the mobile phone, is an overview interface of Meow King's operation and connection status.

Flow statistics interface

SMS management interface

System update

In the setting interface, the routing function can be set in more detail, which is divided into "quick setting, dialing, Ethernet, WLAN, security, and system". In the quick setting interface, you can access the Internet through five simple steps. If you use a 3G card to access the Internet, you don't need to set it here, because King Meow can automatically set connection parameters.

If you use RJ45 and network cable to access the Internet, you can set PPPoE or fixed IP to access the Internet.

In the Ethernet settings, the adjustable options of various functions are more detailed. Filling in the PPPoE account allows Meow King to replace the traditional router.

WLAN settings mainly include setting wireless WiFi accounts and encryption.

MAC address filtering can manage the devices connected to Meow King and decide which device can access the network.

The security settings also have very complete functions.

From the connection of 3G network, the signal strength and connection stability of Meow King are very good, and it can establish a good connection with the operator's base station on the high-speed car and in the room on the subway. Supporting DC-PA+dual carrier technology is an important configuration of Meow King, which makes its 3G Internet access speed much higher than that of ordinary mobile phones and similar portable Internet access devices.

Because the RJ45 interface is configured, where there is network cable, we can also use Meow King to forward the network signal of the fixed line to WiFi signal for use, which can save traffic. The firmware function of Meow King is relatively complete, and Meow King can be used as a router instead of traditional home routes, and the signal strength and wall penetration ability are not low, It is only a little worse than the traditional router with external antenna. It should be said that whether in function or performance, Meow King is worthy of being the best mobile Internet companion at present, and it is worth sending.
