preface:

      Routers are familiar to everyone. Nowadays, every family will have one or more routers. With the emergence of mobile Internet, intelligent routers also began to appear, and gradually infiltrated into every home. Compared with older routers, intelligent routers are more intelligent, easier to operate, more convenient to use, and more powerful. Nowadays, all major mobile phone manufacturers and old router manufacturers have entered the smart field and want to share in the home Internet of Things, resulting in low prices, some even tens of yuan. Today, I bring you a router that can network in different places -- [Dandelion Router]

Dandelion router is a router launched by Shanghai Beirui Information Technology Co., Ltd. (oray) on October 14, 2015. I would like to thank Lei Feng.com for giving Xiao Bian the chance to try it out.

Unpacking:

The dandelion router is wrapped in white. There is only one name+LOGO on the front. There is no more decoration to render the router. The reverse side is the general parameters of dandelion router. Intelligent networking: create a VPN network in one minute, easily realize interconnection and interworking, embedded with peanut shells, and can support privileges such as memory version and public beta version. Cloud management platform: remote management anytime, anywhere, and direct browser access. Power specification: 5V-1A and other information.

Open the packing box, you can see that the dandelion is lying quietly inside. The router is made of silver white metal, with a size of only 128.8 * 88 * 23.5mm, and also has two 5dBi antennas. The process: sandblasting and anodizing, the overall feeling is bright, generous, and simple.

The dialogue on the side of the package is too funny. Use the dialogue to introduce the usage and functions of the product clearly, so that Xiaobai users can understand at a glance. 1. At 0:10 in the morning, the IT man and pony are still working hard every day. 2. At 04:04 in the morning, Ma finally returned home. Without a girlfriend, he had to live on H.264 and toilet paper. 3. Until the pony met (him - dandelion) one day. 4. Happiness is so simple. (A single dog suddenly becomes rich and handsome)

Important information about the router is printed on the back of the router. SN number, power specification, management address, etc. There are 4 network cable holes, 1 WAN and 3 LANs on the side of the router. The jack is the same as that of an ordinary Android phone. You can directly use the phone charger to power the router, which is extremely convenient. You can take a router when you go out.

The manual describes that only four steps can be taken for networking: 1. Log in to the dandelion management platform; 2. Create an intelligent network; 3. Install the user version client; 4. Precautions.

A total of 4 sets are inside the package, including router instructions, charger data cable.

Installation experience:

Plug in the power supply of the router, turn on your laptop, find the router at the beginning of the oraybox, and connect it. Open the browser and enter the website of oraybox.com to enter the website for setting.

After the upgrade, you need to enter the SN number, and the default password is admin. After entering the dandelion management, you need compensation information, such as router name, management password, confirmation management password, mobile phone number and verification code, email, and other information due to the first login.

After adding information, the system will automatically remind you that you need to upgrade the system. Bugs before optimization. The system needs to be initialized during the upgrade. The upgrade is in progress. Please do not power off. It will take a few minutes for the upgrade to succeed.

In the device management, there is intelligent networking. The system information includes WAN IP, Internet access information, preferred DNS, MAC information, wireless network information, support for standard mode, 2.4Gwifi, etc. There are also Internet settings, wifi settings, LAN settings, password system upgrades, restart routes, factory settings, and other information that can be set by yourself. In the "Application Center" module, the official provides two special functions: "peanut shell dynamic domain name resolution" and "sunflower remote boot". But the sunflower remote boot has not been opened to the public.

Focus on the intelligent networking function. Click Intelligent Networking - I want to network and create a network immediately. Two step ultra simple implementation.

After entering the Create Network, a page for registering an account will pop up, and then log in your registration number and password. You can set the network name and network type, click Add Router, and enter the other party's SN code and device name.

Next, add your network name. The network type includes peer network and set number network. After networking, you can try to determine whether the networking is successful, Verify that it is successful. The specific method is as follows: Open the computer "Run" → Enter "cmd" → Enter the IP address of the other party, and you can know whether the networking is successful. In addition, we can go to the other party's router to check the other party's routing information and data, and also help the other party set the routing.

Experience:

From the perspective of appearance, the size of the dandelion router is 128.8 * 88 * 23.5, which is not too big or too small. It is standard and can be placed anywhere. The use of metal shell will improve the level of the router by a large margin, but will affect the transmission of WIFI.

In terms of price, the 199 yuan router is actually a little higher for ordinary families, but it costs at least thousands of yuan to have enterprise level router functions. The dandelion router is worth buying if it brings enterprise functions to families and reduces the price to 100 yuan.

Dandelion router adopts VPC intelligent networking technology, which enables ordinary families to complete networking in minutes, and provides enterprises and enthusiasts with the most affordable solution to set up a remote LAN, which is highly practical.

Dandelion also has its disadvantages. For example, the router only supports 2.4G wifi, 100M interface, no external USB interface, and so on. It has certain disadvantages among other hundred yuan routers.

Finally, I would like to thank Lei Feng.com for giving me the opportunity of this evaluation.
