We are lucky to get this home network management router - Children's Network Nurse: Love Routing through the trial application of Lei Feng.com. Let's see what surprises this router can bring us.

I Unpacking

The traditional packing box does not use the simple style popular on the Internet. The box is large enough and has good anti extrusion performance.

Basic connection diagram and manufacturer information are provided on the back of the packing box.

Open the box and you can see the protagonist lying inside. The black paper box on the right is the power adapter. Internal protection is in place, and violent express delivery is not easily damaged.

The product itself has moderate weight, strong shape and strong tension. The frosted texture of the black plastic shell is very good, and the front is made of bright material. Overall, the workmanship is solid, and the details are well handled. Only the length of 20.7cm makes it larger than the average router. The antenna is folded left and right at the rear.

Close up of the indicator light with clear writing. However, it seems that there are only three Lans.

The whole body photo after the antenna is erected. The antenna length is 20cm. According to experience, the signal strength of the large antenna is generally good.

There are cooling holes distributed on the side, with a thickness of 4CM, but it doesn't seem bulky with this strong sense of lines. The rotating shaft of the antenna is solid and flexible, without the sense of astringency and instability. It is easy to use and durable.

In the middle of the bottom is the nameplate, with feet, and the rest are cooling holes, so the heat dissipation is fully guaranteed. There are two hanging holes on both sides of the nameplate, and the shape of the front face hanging on the wall is also very decorative.

There is one power supply port, one reset port, one blue WAN port, and three black LAN ports on the back, which is one less LAN port than traditional routing. However, considering that most of the homes are wireless connection devices, it has no impact on practicality.

The power adapter and the power hole interface are moderately tight, and the cable is connected at the side of the adapter, which is suitable for access at the outermost side of the patch panel.

The accessories are mainly adapters and instructions. They also gave a gift recharge card, but it's useless by visual inspection.

II Access

1. Basically connect the equipment according to the conventional method (power on, connect the network cable to the WAN port).

2. Then use the wireless device to search the WiFi list“ CYWiFi-6F36” For direct connection, no password is required.

  Note: The connection name may vary according to different firmware versions. Please refer to the instructions for details.

3.  After the connection is successful, access "wiair. cc", Enter your broadband account password to log in and scan the QR code on the page to download the "Touch Cloud" app.

III Administration

1.  Open the installed App connection and log in

You need to register or use a third-party account, mostly for remote management; The operation of Touchcloud needs more attention, and the update is too annoying.

2. Follow the prompts to set the wifi name and password

The main interface will display the connected devices and the applications running on them, and will guide the user to modify the password settings of the wireless connection. The operation path is relatively smooth and not particularly difficult to find.

3. Speed and mode management of access equipment

Select a device at random, you can limit the speed of the device, and you can also view the online track of the device.

You can also select three modes for management. The free mode can control specific applications on limited devices, such as Taobao; The learning mode is to only allow access to a bunch of learning websites in the App list, which is a preset white list of websites; The time mode can control the connection time of the device, and you cannot access the Internet beyond the time.

4. Other functions

The "Discovery" page is full of marginal functions, among which the "gift of love" allows users to draw a prize every day; The speed measurement is closer to the real situation than the results I tested on the website or computer software; The security shield should be a blacklist, but unsafe websites are generally blocked in the browser.

IV comprehensive

Good appearance and lines, strong shape; The overall texture of frosted+bright surface is strong, the workmanship is solid, and the details are well handled; The App has complete management functions and strong fineness control, Remote management;

The measured signal strength is average, only better than my original single antenna TP-LINK TL-WR742N is a little stronger. There is a grid where there was no signal before;

In the three hours of actual operation, no network disconnection or signal loss was found, and the stability was good. In addition to the good heat dissipation design, the touch temperature did not change significantly;

In short, AliCloud solves the problem of home network management very well. It can not only query the children's network trends at any time and anywhere, but also control the management range. Compared with ordinary household routers, there is no obvious weakness. Compared with the Xiaomi Youth router I bought in the same price segment, I think AliCloud is also slightly better.
