We use enterprise level standards to design a new millet router. It not only has enterprise level PCB array antenna, American Broadcom dual core 1.4GHz processor, monitoring level hard disk, but also has advanced intelligent signal tracking technology. When these advanced configurations are integrated, they can provide you with better signals, more reliable storage, and faster speed. That is why Xiaomi Router has become a new standard for home routers.

The packaging of the new Xiaomi router is as simple as the packaging of Xiaomi mobile phones, but it is not as solid as the packaging of mobile phones. The packing box that I got was deformed. The front is only an MI LOGO, and the back is the function and parameter information of the brand new Xiaomi router.         In addition to the brand new millet router wrapped in protective film, there are power lines and instructions when opening the package. The front protective film is printed with the quick setting method of the router and the two-dimensional code of the router mobile phone APP. The setting is very simple. It only takes three steps. The Xiaomi router is quite good in terms of settings.

Tear off the protective film, the brand new Xiaomi router can no longer see the shadow of the previous router. Its square shape, coupled with two high gain PCB antennas, adds a bit of playfulness. The fuselage is surrounded by matte treatment, supplemented by four waistlines, which makes it elegant and quiet. The new millet router is more suitable for putting on the desktop, completely getting rid of the fate of ordinary routes shrinking at the foot of the table covered with dust.

From left to right on the back of the new Xiaomi router are the reset hole, power connector (12V 3A), power key, USB interface, three gigabit LAN interfaces, and one gigabit Internet interface. The side of the router is a heat sink, and the inside is a heat sink and fan, which absorb heat and bring it out from the heat sink. The fan noise of the new Xiaomi router is obviously much smaller than that of the previous generation router.

Brand new The Xiaomi router uses PCB array antenna. Its antenna core is composed of a circuit board. It has four antenna units, and the design accuracy is up to 0.02mm, which is 40 times that of the general metal antenna. PCB array antenna is more excellent in dual band performance enhancement. The maximum gain of 2.4GHz is 4dBi, and the maximum gain of 5GHz is 6dBi. Compared with general antenna, it has better signal gain in both frequency bands.

The new Xiaomi router not only allows you to connect to the wireless network more stably and quickly, but also allows smart devices at home to connect together. Through it, you can watch downloaded movies on smart TV, store videos recorded by smart cameras, and connect smart gateways and sockets to help you create smart scenes. It is a router and the control center of smart home network.

The comparison between the new Xiaomi router and the old router shows that the new router is more beautiful in appearance and adds external antennas. There is also an additional network cable interface, which can add a wired access and expand more devices. Maybe it is to leave more space for the development of smart home in the future. The setting of the Xiaomi router is very simple. You can download the APP of the Xiaomi router from your mobile phone or use the web page directly. Let's take the mobile phone APP settings as an example. Plug in the router power first, connect to the router, and then turn on the APP. Select to set a new Xiaomi router to enter. At this time, you can find a Xiaomi router. After clicking Connect Now, you will be prompted with the location of the router. After selecting or customizing the location, click Next to automatically detect the Internet access mode. I use DHCP to access the Internet, so I don't need to dial. The automatic connection is correct. Then continue to click Next, you can set the wireless WIFI password. After the setting is completed, the router will automatically complete other settings, and then you can access the Internet normally.

We are using the web page setting method to see how the Xiaomi router is different. Enter MIWIFI COM or 192.168.1.31 can enter the background of the Xiaomi router. Here you can see the devices connected to the router and the speed of the network connection. In the storage status, it is the hard disk storage status information of Xiaomi router. Here you can see the storage statistics of pictures, videos, music and other categories of the built-in 1T hard disk of the Xiaomi router. Here's the point. In the common settings, you can set the WIFI settings, Internet settings, security center and LAN settings of the Xiaomi route. Here, you can also set the Xiaomi router according to your own network mode. For advanced settings, it is recommended to keep the default settings if you do not understand them. For those who like to jump over the wall, you can set the corresponding VPN in the advanced settings. You can query the related tutorials for details, which will not be detailed here.

Next, we will go back to the mobile APP of the Xiaomi router, and we can see an option to find resources. Here, we can download videos to the hard disk of the Xiaomi router, and also realize the remote download function of the Xiaomi router. Needless to say, let's take a look at the final toolbox, where you can add and manage tools. This function cannot be underestimated, and intelligent management can be basically achieved here. You can also further set the Xiaomi router, such as storage, download and other settings. In normal use, it is recommended to turn on automatic upgrade and plug-in automatic upgrade, and define the upgrade time to ensure that the router runs with new functions.

A new function of Xiaomi router recently is WeChat friend access service. As long as you are a WeChat friend, you can connect to your network without setting a password. This function is also set in the toolbox. Just open your friend's WIFI, bind it to the Xiaomi router's WeChat public account, and follow the prompts. This function has great playability. If you are interested in it, you can communicate with each other.

The new Xiaomi router has four independent signal amplification chips built in, plus an external antenna, which can provide better signal output. So the WIFI signal of the brand new Xiaomi router is really Strong? Can its signal strength beat my first generation router? You must want to know.

Now let's test the WIFI signals of the two routers. First, set the internal parameters of the two routers to be the same, and Put them together. At this time, the 2.4G and 5.5G signals of the two routers are all full. After walking out of the room more than 5 meters away from the router, the WIFI signal has changed, and the new Xiaomi router 5G signal has been attenuated. About 10 meters away, you can see that the 5G signal of the new Xiaomi router has disappeared from the first screen of the phone.

Let me first explain that my first generation router was modified. A 5 dB high gain full frequency antenna with the same PCB is installed. The above test results are for reference only.

Summary:

Advantages: The new Xiaomi router has greatly changed in appearance and is more suitable for home use. Especially in terms of mute processing, compared with the first generation router, it has been greatly optimized in terms of fans and hard disk reading and writing. The new Xiaomi router is also equipped with a hardware level high traffic accelerator to improve the distribution efficiency of high traffic. The new Xiaomi router also has a built-in 6TB hard disk version, which has huge storage space and can be used as a personal data server. Router settings are simple and intuitive, and rich plug-ins and tools are built in.

Disadvantages: The wireless WIFI signal of the new Xiaomi router is not much better than that of the previous generation router in the 5G band under certain circumstances. However, when the Xiaomi route is set to the through the wall mode, the signal is significantly improved.

In general, the new Xiaomi router is worth starting with, especially in the continuous development of smart homes, where the requirements for routers are relatively high. With the increasing number of intelligent devices, ordinary routers have been unable to meet the demand. If you have this new Xiaomi router, you can not only easily manage intelligent devices, but also use the new Xiaomi router as a home decoration. The new Xiaomi router is the control center of the intelligent home network.
