I don't remember when the router market has become a stage for major manufacturers to compete in the Internet era, Without a router, where can I use wifi? In addition, with the continuous development of smart home, routers also play an increasingly important role. The new router, the newifi 2, is different from the traditional router in both appearance and function.

▲ Kraft paper packaging is simple, environmentally friendly and low cost. At present, a large part of electronic consumer goods are packed in kraft paper packaging, which is the most common packaging method for electronic consumer goods.

▲ Open the package to see the logo of newifi, which is composed of letter elements.

▲ The design of newifi 2 looks more like an answering machine than a traditional router. The overall shape adopts a flat design, and the front has a small slope design, which visually looks like a whole. The color matching is mainly white, and the shell is Plastic material, good toughness, after sanding treatment, the hand feel is very delicate.

▲ The accessories of newifi 2 are also very simple. The host+charger+instructions. Newifi host is equipped with MT621A dual core processor and 256M Super large memory, nearly 1200 megabytes wireless speed, high frequency AC dual frequency transmission, and its own 8G memory card are quite powerful in configuration.

▲ The design of the power adapter is also different. It adopts a shape similar to diamond cutting, with a clear plus sign on the cutting surface.

▲ Did you find that there is no antenna on the mainframe of newwifi 2? What's going on here? In fact, it integrates the antenna on this cover plate Also printed with signal ripple. This antenna design is also a highlight of the newifi 2. This antenna is called a symmetrical balanced dipole antenna, which is designed with a rotating shaft It can be turned over at 80 °. The signal transmitted by the newifi 2 is elliptical and spherical, except for its shape, which is different from the traditional router rod antenna Scattered, the signal coverage is more uniform, and the signal coverage is stronger.

▲ Turn up the antenna cover plate to show its working form. From this angle, you can vaguely see a red dot.

▲ Below the antenna cover is the cooling hole. The cooling hole is in the shape of plus sign, and the red plus sign is actually the WPS key Press and hold for 5 seconds to restart the router.

▲ From this perspective, can you see many plus signs clearly? With the power supply, why use so many plus design elements? It's pure For the sake of beauty or to remind users that the wireless speed of newifi 2 reaches 1167Mbps, is it not a little faster than that of ordinary routers?

▲ There is a row of interfaces at the back: power socket, WAN, LAN * 2, USB * 2, RESET key and two standard USB interfaces. The biggest function of USB interface is It can be connected to an external storage device, so my mother no longer has to worry about having no space to download TV dramas.

▲ The back of newifi 2 is designed with a large area of hollowing out and diamond cutting. This design is conducive to removing the heat generated by the router studio from the fuselage in time to ensure that The stability of the router.

▲ The steps of connecting the router are the same as those of ordinary wifi, but they will not be explained in detail. The background address of the route management is 192.168.99.1 or newifi.com.

▲ The left side of the management interface is the network status, and the right side is the router function setting options. The blue area is the function plug-in installed on the router. In Thunderbolt There is an activation code attached to the remote download. As long as you bind the account, you can use the high-speed channel of Thunderbolt to download the files you need.  

▲ There are many download methods for mobile app download. The app interface is simple. The current network speed is displayed on the top of the main interface, while the function bar, the first It is video recommendation, which also reminds us that the newifi 2 is a magic tool for chasing dramas. In the routing mobile storage interface, you can store the video or The file is saved to the storage of the router for users to use at any time.

▲ Chasing dramas requires movie sources, while newifi's movie sources are from Sohu videos, which are also randomly presented to members of Sohu videos, and can be opened by binding an account. But if If it is not applicable to newifi 2, the member has the right to advertise. Only by using newifi 2 for more than 16 hours every day can he get a view The right to film and video is presented every day. Is this to ensure the user's use time? The mobile app has a built-in Sohu video interface, where members can enjoy watching movies after binding. There is also a more intimate one button drama chasing function. With simple settings, newifi 2 can automatically download the latest episodes you want to watch to the local memory of newifi 2, and you can watch them directly through newifi 2 when you have time to watch them, Very convenient.

In general, newifi 2 has a novel design and strong signal coverage. It also includes lifelong Thunder members and Sohu video members, which can be said to have greatly expanded The practicability of newifi 2 embodies innovation from inside to outside. However, I think that for a smart router, the function of the app on the mobile phone side is somewhat single. When the mobile phone is disconnected from the routing signal of the newifi 2, remote operation cannot be realized. I hope that subsequent manufacturers can use the Upgrade to enrich the functions of mobile app.
