The ZMI portable router was also mentioned last year, and now it is finally on sale. There is not much change in the design of MIFI and Xiaomi mobile power supply, but In this way, MIFI function is added on the basis of mobile power supply. It is a very suitable product for some business people who often go on business trips. There is also a mobile product in the ecosystem of Xiaomi products The portable router can interact more with some products of Xiaomi. Let's introduce this ZMI portable router to you

Appearance unpacking

The packaging design is the same as that of the mobile power supply. Paper packaging is used. In addition to the ZMI host, there is a manual and a data cable in the packaging box


The appearance of the ZMI host is similar to that of the mobile power supply. In terms of weight, because the MIFI shell is mainly plastic, it shows that there is a layer of piano baking paint, so it doesn't feel so heavy plastic. Instead, it looks shiny and very beautiful.

There is only one purple rice logo on the front of ZMI

There is a very striking word 7800 at the bottom, because the ZMI has its own 7800mA battery

There is a layer of protective film on the top of the product for protection. Except for the USB hole and Micro USB, there are three indicators, namely: mobile signal light, WIFI light, and power light

There is a power key on the right side of the product. Press and hold to open MIFI. The feedback effect of the key position is general, which may be an individual phenomenon

At the bottom, we can see a small notch to open the rear shell


The back shell panel adopts snap type, and the back shell is very thin. The design of snap makes people worry about whether it will crack or not after long-term use


Open the back shell and we can see some information such as purple rice IMEI, MAC address, etc. The most important thing is to see the connection address and management address at the time of initialization. There is also a default password at the factory



On the top of the host, you can see the SIMI card slot and a factory reset hole

This test uses a 4G mobile card. For the first time, we didn't see a sign on the side of the card slot carefully, so we inserted the card in the wrong direction. So we need to pay attention to this point. We should move the SIM card in the direction of a small gap

Turn on the machine, press the power key for a long time, and the three lights will light up together. Wait a few minutes, and only one WIFI light will flash

Mobile applications

The ZMI portable router APP can be found by searching "ZMI" in Xiaomi Mall

After enabling the ZMI router, we can see the "ZMI_XXX" wireless name in the wireless list, and enter through the initial wireless password on the back

For the first time, we first set the package traffic type, which can automatically correct the traffic and set alerts, so we don't have to worry about exceeding the traffic

Enter Settings, WIFI sets password name and other settings. In Mobile Network Settings, we can select the preferred mode to adjust 4G/3g/2g and other operations

Management password setting, you can change a new password for future operations. In intelligent management, you can display information in the status bar, automatically sleep and other operations, and adjust according to your own habits

In router management, we can restart, close, restore, update and export configurations

Router detection. In case of problems, you can preliminarily detect SIM problems through router detection to find the problem

Users usually test the ZMI route with their mobile phone cards, and set the SMS function in the APP very intimately. In the process of using ZMI, if a message is sent, you can reply directly in the APP, which is very convenient. This is also a highlight of ZMI.

In the contacts, the contacts on the mobile phone card can be read out directly, which is convenient for users to send SMS messages.

In the connected device, if someone is found rubbing the network, it can also be added to the blacklist function, which can reduce unnecessary losses. After turning on the status bar display settings, we can visually see the 4G card signal and the remaining traffic in the notification bar.

Summary

stay During the test in the past few days, the overall feeling is still good. The 4G aspect is very powerful. Of course, if you want to have the best experience, you still need to apply for a separate flow card, which can be used as a mobile power supply. If you are on a business trip, you can take one less mobile The power supply, in terms of the overall shell, the rear shell is very thin, and I feel very fragile. After the rear shell is installed, there are still some gaps. I hope it can be improved in the future. In terms of software, as for MIFI, I think it's still necessary That's enough. I heard some users say that it is better to have storage function. If it is, it is certainly good, but the positioning of the product is inaccurate. Compared with the current market price, 299 is still very affordable. Often going out The poor is worth starting with.
