Recently, a product called 360 Portable WIFI suddenly became popular on Weibo under the banner of "free internet access on mobile phones". What's the role of such a product? What about the so-called "free WIFI"? Next, let's find out with Xiao Bian!

Let's take a look at the appearance of this product first. This product is very small, which is about the size of an ordinary Bluetooth adapter.

On the back, there are words of 360 portable WIFI.

If you look carefully, you can see a depression above. Don't worry, this is not a production defect, but a thoughtful design. It is designed to facilitate you to pull out your WIFI.

Pull out the whole picture.

A headphone cable is included.

It can be inserted into the headphone hole to be carried as a pendant.

OK, that's all for the appearance. Next, let's try plugging it into the computer.

Note: After plugging in the computer, you need to download the client on its official website to use it normally.

After the installation is completed, it will automatically send WIFI signals through this product, and your WIFI name and password will be written on the client.

There will also be a floating window on the desktop, which can be closed.

The password can also be changed.

After connecting your phone, click the hover window to see how much traffic your phone has used and how much money it has saved... I'm not sure how it counts. Although the client of 360 wireless network card can calculate traffic, it uses the network of your computer. Broadband services are basically monthly, quarterly or yearly. In this way, calculating traffic will be meaningless.

Well, to get back to the point, your own computer (whether desktop or laptop) must be connected to the network to use its wireless sharing function. If your computer does not have a network, it will not work. In fact, this is a USB wireless network card with a client. ← The fact is that it is not a high-tech thing. However, the only good thing is that this wireless network card can be used normally when connecting 7 mobile phones.

Speaking of receiving distance, I used the Samsung I9300 as the experimental object, Standing about 10 meters away from the 360 wireless network card, there is no wall in the middle, and there is only one grid of WIFI signal left A little further away, there is almost no signal, so this wireless network card is better used in a single room with small space.

Moreover, USB wireless network cards are available on the street, and their prices are around 10 yuan. As long as you plug in such USB wireless network card on your desktop, install the driver (Win7 or above system is recommended, which can automatically install the driver for you) and install any WIFI shared software, you can realize the function of 360 wireless network card.

And some ordinary USB wireless network cards can not only share the WIFI network, but also directly accept the WIFI network after the driver is installed. That is to say, even if your desktop is not connected to a wired network, as long as WIFI is available, you can plug in this USB wireless network card to receive WIFI and use the wireless network directly! On the contrary, the 360 wireless network card with 360 WIFI client cannot receive wireless network. I think this client is overkill... and castrate the receiving function that the wireless network card should have.

If you are using a laptop... you don't need 360 portable WIFI at all. Because today's laptops come with a wireless network card. In addition to allowing your laptop to accept the wireless network, this wireless network card can also directly realize the WIFI sharing function of the 360 wireless network card. You only need to download a WIFI sharing software to realize WIFI sharing, so that your mobile phone and other devices that can connect to WIFI can also access the Internet.

I believe that readers have fully understood this The so-called 360 portable WIFI is just a USB wireless network card with a client. Even if this is not used, other USB wireless network cards can also achieve its functions.

So, "360 WiFi" is unattractive to people who know a little network knowledge. 360's boasted free Internet access, router functions, etc. are really disdainful in the eyes of small editors... It's just a USB wireless network card sharing WIFI! It may be useful for all Xiaobai users, but after you understand the reason, you will not use this product, because the client of this product cannot receive wireless network, and it is not a fully functional wireless network card at all.
