Reading guide:

With the popularity of wireless intelligent devices, routers are used more and more widely, especially wireless routing. Almost everyone is familiar with it, because wifi is used to support mobile Internet access. Routine routing includes TP Link, D-Link, Mercury, Netware, Leike, and Pherson, among others, have a single function and similar settings. Now, with the improvement of network speed and the different requirements of intelligent products, there are also new requirements for routing functions. Intelligent routing has emerged, which also meets the development of science and technology and the needs of people. At present, there are a lot of intelligent routes, such as polar route, millet route, 360 route, etc. Today, we bring the evaluation of newifi new route 2, which is jointly created by Lenovo, JD and Chengdu Diting Technology. This evaluation is mainly conducted from five aspects: unpacking, routing details, actual application operation, signal and security.

1、 Simple unpacking

The outer package of newifi new route 2 is an ordinary paper box, which is made of yellow cardboard. It is relatively thick. The logo of newifi is on the front and in the middle. In addition, there is no printing. It is also environmentally friendly and saves ink pollution.   

There is no printing on the back of the package, but there is a sticker on the bottom half, which contains the product parameters, features, two-dimensional codes, executive standards and other information. From the information on this sticker, we can see that this new ifi new route 2 is jointly produced by JD, Sohu Video and the manufacturer Chengdu Diting Technology Co., Ltd.

Open the package, the route is on the top, the surface is still holding the protective sleeve, and you can vaguely see the handwriting.

Take out the route and hold it in your hand. It feels that the protective sleeve outside the route is very thick, which can protect the route very well. There are also user manual, warranty card and power supply in the package.

Take the route out of the protective sleeve, and you suddenly see a bright light. The white body of newifi new route 2 is very beautiful. It will be introduced separately later.

Next, look at the user manual. The instructions are two-sided, with the basic use method of routing.

This is the warranty card.

Instruction manual and warranty card

The power supply is also white. The shape is not square.

Do not fold the plug

Parameters are printed below the plug, and the output is 12V, 2.0A. The supervisor is JD Group.

The connection with the routing end is a circular interface.

Text on wire.

Finally, let's have a family photo.

2、 Appearance details of newifi new route 2

From the front, newifi new route 2 is white, and there is also a quick setting instruction on the panel, which is very user-friendly.

The back is not flat. There are two bevel angles on the top. The panel is grid shaped, which can be used for ventilation and heat dissipation.

From the side, the route is thick at one end and thin at the other

When using, lift up the cover plate at the thick end. This is the antenna, which is very unique in design.

This is the later interface. Newifi new route 2 supports one wan interface, two lan interfaces, two usb interfaces, and a power key and reset key

There is a red cross key under the antenna. This is the wps key. Press and hold for 5 seconds to restart the route

The power connector also has the logo of Jingdong.

Five rows of cross shaped holes are set off against the wps button, which can better maintain the air flow above and below the route and facilitate heat dissipation.

The indicator light of newifi new route 2 is placed at the bottom and front of the route.

This is the sticker parameter at the bottom

There is a label of "invalid after tearing" on one side. This is actually a slot, with 8GB of storage pre built.

3、 Function introduction of newifi new route 2

Connect the power supply, and the newifi new route 2 starts to work. The network cable is not plugged in here. First, check the mobile phone connection route. After the route is started, the default password is blank, so the phone can connect to the route directly. Enter it in the browser

Will mention that there is no connection to the network Because the network cable is not plugged in, we skip to the route login interface.

For the first login, you need to set a management password for the route, which is also the wireless connection password in the future

After setting, initialization is completed. There is a prompt to download the management app at the bottom of the interface. At this time, you cannot download the app by clicking it, and you have not yet connected to the network. Since you have set a password for the route, you need to reconnect the route, and then log in to the management interface again. The management interface then becomes the login interface of Xiaoyun. Enter the password

You enter the route management interface, which is divided into several blocks. The left side is the route status, and the right side is the configuration options. There are many functions here. The following is the advertisement of Sohu video.

We haven't connected to the network yet. First, use the wireless relay function on the right to connect to the network. This function is almost the same as the bridge function.

Turn on the relay switch and scan the network

Select the network you want to connect to and enter the password to connect.

After connection, there will be a status display, connected, and the status bar on the left will also display connected.

Let's take a look at the management functions of this software. The left shape can be viewed. The current running status of the route

Wireless status

This is application management. It provides many applications, which can be installed as required

Quick setting interface

Advanced Settings

System and service options

Network and file management

MAC cloning and MAC filtering

Bandwidth management and hard disk hibernation

Route restart and user name and password modification interface

Backup on restore option

Speaking of this, no network cable has been plugged into the route. In fact, this route also supports the connection of pppoe and fixed IP. Its setting mode is almost the same as that of ordinary routes.

4、 Signal measurement

A comparison test with another route (300m Mercury) is adopted. Two routes are placed at the same location.

Then look at the comparison of signals at different positions. The weakest part is separated by 2 walls.

On the whole, the signal of newifi new route 2 is slightly better

5、 Safety test

The security of the route is very important. Can the password be cracked?

It can be seen from the above figure that this route can be pinned, but after actual measurement, the route will be protected, so that the cracking time will be increased. For impatient people, they will generally give up cracking. Although the ssid can be set to the hidden mode, there is still a chance that it can be cracked.

6、 Brief summary

advantage:                               

The appearance design is novel, and the design is very beautiful and fashionable

Double gigabit, good coverage of dual-mode signal

Dual USB mount (one is 3.0)

The networking settings are convenient

Send to Sohu VIP members

Disadvantages: There is still room for improving the safety performance

Seen from the actual use, the newifi new route 2 has some problems that need to be further improved, but the overall use is very good. The router with dual gigabit, dual mode, good signal coverage, and Sohu VIP has a high cost performance ratio. At the same time, it has many functions and is very powerful.
