With the rapid development of the Internet, all kinds of bad information flooded the network. For children who lack self-control ability, network security has always been a major problem for parents and society. The birth of TouchCloud Love Routing has provided strong technical support to solve this problem. There is no tedious installation, no additional expenditure, just easy viewing and operation on the application end, You can carry out in-depth customized management, accurately control the home network, so that every parent can create a safe network space for their children, and escort love all the way!

Unpacking&Packaging

Airou is an intelligent router product for children to access the Internet safely. The overall package is decorated with blue and red main colors, with a fresh and lively style.

Compared with ordinary routers, the package of Love Route is relatively large, which makes people somewhat expect how large this router will be. The front and side of the entire package box are decorated with blue and red abstract patterns, which makes it look fresh and lively, full of contemporary flavor. From the words "Care for Children" and "Children's Network Nurse", we can see that the positioning of this product is very clear, The sincerity of the manufacturer can be seen

On the top of the back of the packaging box is printed the home network topology map of AliCloud, the introduction of APP application graphics and text, which can help users have a preliminary understanding of AliCloud, and the bottom is printed with basic production information, as well as WeChat and Weibo QR codes

Tear off the package seal and open the packaging box. All the items are placed in the environmental protection pulp inner box orderly, including AliCloud host × 1, power adapter × 1, instruction manual × 1, certificate of conformity × 1, activity card × 1, Internet phone recharge card × 1, gift Internet phone recharge card. It's cheap to make calls, and the activities with good comments and surprises are also very powerful

The manual, in the form of pictures and texts, explains the functions of Airou in detail. Parents who first contact the intelligent router can easily use it, while the power adapter uses 5V 1A output, which means that this router can use most of the mobile power supplies to supply power. Even if the power is cut off, the network can be opened correctly, However, since the standard power adapter cable and plug of iRoute are integrated, you need to configure a USB to AV connection cable

Product&Details

As the first intelligent router focusing on children's network security of TouchCloud Technology, Airou has attracted wide attention since its launch. Its official release version is Airou 1L. From the overall appearance design, Airou has a very unique shape and large size, which has certain advantages in heat dissipation.

The black frosted plastic shell on the front is made of armor, and it looks very cool with the decorative plate on the front bright side. The status LED indicator is also personalized on the middle ridge, corresponding to the WAN port and LAN port status, but there is no status indicator for Wifi

Airou has a large area of heat dissipation holes at the bottom and side, and the size of the route itself is relatively large. From the disassembly of other users, the internal circuit board is reasonably designed, which is also conducive to heat dissipation, and provides an additional guarantee for the stable operation of the route. The model and basic parameters of this route can be seen from the product label at the bottom

The antenna and the host adopt the same design style, gradually transiting from the bottom circle to the top diamond end, which has a smell of mecha naval gun. It seems that the design of this route should be a mecha mystery

Like traditional routing, the interfaces of AliCloud are all located at the rear, including one WAN interface, three LAN interfaces, one RESET reset key, and one power input interface. However, for the large appearance of TouchCloud, it can be used as a home master routing, and can be configured with four LAN interfaces

Connect the power supply, plug the external cable into the blue WAN port, and the blue LED on the front lights up. When there is data throughput, the status light will flash, which matches the cool appearance of the router

APP application

The author has used several smart routers, including those of Xiaomijia and Lenovo. These routers have one feature, that is, they all have powerful APP control terminals, which can control the networking of devices connected to the home at any time for remote download, intelligent anti scratch network, and various plug-ins greatly enrich the routing function, However, as an intelligent router with more specialized functions, iRouter has advantages in the development of APP applications that other intelligent routers do not have.

The router is connected for the first time. If it is a dedicated line, it can be connected to the Internet automatically after connection. If it is a dial-up network, it needs to set the networking mode. The PC directly opens the browser to enter the setting interface, and then enters the account password to connect to the Internet. It is very intelligent and convenient

Of course, there is no problem with Wifi connection settings. If you search for the signal of CYWifi xxxx to connect, the APP will also automatically identify the Internet access mode, which is very intelligent. If you enter an account for dial-up networking, you can connect to the Internet. After you register, you can log in the account to bind and manage it

The main interface of the APP is divided into four sections, namely, TouchCloud, Discovery, Security and My. The corresponding connection management, additional functions, network security, and routing settings management are clearly classified and have strong function pertinence. In terms of network security, TouchCloud Love Routes has a built-in security alliance to monitor all the information browsed 24 hours a day to prevent children from browsing some fraudulent websites, phishing trojan websites, Real time reminding of security protection

On the cloud touch page, you can see the status of the connected device, and set free mode, learning mode and time mode. Not only that, long press the connected device, or the APP application connected to the device, you can choose to disconnect it, to achieve the purpose of prohibiting the connection of the device or application. Currently, it is very rare for a home router to achieve such precise control

From the personal page, you can see a comprehensive router setting menu. In addition to conventional settings such as wireless settings, Internet settings, wireless trunking, there are also professional and thoughtful functions such as IP settings, port mapping, router lights and message alerts

user's experience

In the process of using Love Route, I had a good experience with this route. The connection network is stable and the network speed is fast. The control of the network connection device is in place. I can master the Internet situation of children at home anytime and anywhere. As such a professional intelligent route, the price is also very powerful and cost-effective.

In addition to the basic networking control of devices and applications on the device connection interface, you can also enter the device details page to set the three online modes in detail. By turning on the learning mode, you can limit the network to access the learning website. In the free mode, you can also customize the restricted software categories that connect to the device, such as games, web pages IM, etc., while the time mode can easily allocate the time period for children to access the Internet, and the function is very targeted

However, as an intelligent route, AliCloud does not have the function of installing plug-ins, and its scalability is slightly weak, which is mainly determined by its positioning for children's Internet access. Even so, The built-in functions of the APP, such as online trace, network optimization, speed measurement and signal strength adjustment, are very practical. In particular, the online trace can summarize and analyze users' online behavior, understand their online habits, which is well founded. It is very helpful to master children's online behavior. It can be said that in all current home smart routers, The monitoring function is second to none

In the learning mode, the connected device will only be able to open the built-in learning website of cloud learning navigation, including primary school, junior high school, senior high school and others. It can also add websites on its own in the customized settings. This function is really powerful. However, it remains to be seen whether the website of learning navigation will cause children's rebellious psychology if it is opened like this

Finally, a simple Wifi signal comparison test was carried out on the router signal. The signal name of zhang is the hard disk version of Xiaomi router currently in use by the author, and the signal name of CYWiFi-0691 is Touch Cloud Love Route. It can be seen from the signal strength of different parts that there is little difference in the signal strength between the two in the consent room, but in the far away places with more wall penetrations, The signal attenuation of Airou should be slightly higher. After all, the price of Airou is less than 100 yuan, which is quite powerful. If it is a large house, you can consider adding relay routes to expand the signal.

Through recent use, the advantages and disadvantages of this route are summarized as follows, hoping to provide some reference for users who need it, and also provide some suggestions for manufacturers to improve their products in the future.

advantage:

1. It is specially designed for children to access the Internet, and can independently control the disconnection of networked devices and APP applications;

2. Three built-in modes, reasonably arrange children's online time and specify network content;

3. The track of love can make statistics and analysis on the Internet behavior of connected devices, so as to find out the children's Internet habits;

4. High cost performance.

Disadvantages:

1. As an intelligent route, it lacks mainstream functions such as anti scratch network and timing switch;

2. There is no open setting function on the computer side, and all settings can only be completed in the APP client. Sometimes it is a bit troublesome to change settings when using the computer. In addition, if there is a problem with the mobile phone APP, the network can not be controlled temporarily.

epilogue

As an intelligent router specially designed for children to access the Internet, AliCloud has a high degree of freedom in network connection control. It can operate independently for both devices and connected applications. The three built-in modes aim at different Internet needs, so that parents can create a perfect and clean network environment for children.
