Outsiders D-link DWA-192     Leaf winter

First:

For Star Wars fans, the Death Star must be a stranger. Well known network equipment providers D-link Today launched a D-link DWA-192 The wireless external network card of is sure to attract the attention of Star Wars fans. For nothing else, his appearance like the Death Star must also make loyal fans pay for it. Let's see whether it is good or not?

appearance & packing:

D-link DWA-192 The main body of the packing box is black, which can be seen everywhere AC1900 and USB3.0 It shows that its main feature is fast. The design language is very simple, and the main functional feature is to use some blocks and icons to display, respectively, the speed can reach 1300Mbps  Wireless transmission performance 802.11.AC Of 2.4G&5GHz Band connection, exclusive Advanced AC SmartBeam senior AC Smart beam technology USB3.0 Interface WPS One button encryption and downward compatible 802.11.abgn Wireless standards. Remarks and manufacturer's information are marked on the back, in which lead-free RoHS and soy ink Environmental friendly printing ink highlights the power of front-line international manufacturers, and is also worth advocating! However, it should be noted that the official website has already provided Mac It seems that the packaging needs to be changed!

The process of opening the box is very comfortable, the damping is not loose or tight, and our main character is lying there quietly, but a yellow warning sticker will divert your attention, and it says: "Important tips! Please use the optical drive to install the network card driver before installing the adapter! Please refer to the quick installation guide for details.". Although this is for DIYer But Xiaobai sometimes ignores this step and buys it directly and plugs it into the computer... But for a retail product sold in mainland China, it is better to change the label to Chinese.

take out D-link DWA-192 Here is one USB3.0 Standard data cable, I believe it can be used again USB3.0 The mobile hard disk friends will not be unfamiliar, he can pass greater current and better performance. It's a drive CD (unfortunately, it's still in English) and it's really embarrassing for the CD provided by an external wireless network card. First, the number of CD drives installed on current computers, whether desktops or notebooks, is getting smaller and smaller. Second, compared with the drivers fixed in CDs or on official websites, the drivers are more stable. But this is also a compromise for manufacturers. In addition to the English cover, it is worth affirming. The rest of the accessories include a quick installation guide, a warranty card and a hazardous substances labeling card. (It's also full of words, but it's all Chinese. Can't you really make everything else into Chinese zero ）It is worth mentioning that the quick installation guide not only explains the installation method easily, but also provides notes on the last few pages, presumably to remind customers of the Internet password or router password, which is very considerate! Like one

Here is our main character D-link DWA-192 , The main body is spherical, and the middle of the sphere is separated by a plastic grid. The upper part is designed in frosted black, and the bottom is LED The light strip is beautiful and scientific when it lights up at night. In addition to the decorative strip of a symmetrical light band, the lower part is designed in frosted silver, with one D-Link Of logo . On the back are LED Switches USB3.0 Interfaces and WPS Button. It is very simple and clear, and for the convenience of opening and closing at night, LED There is also a blind press contact on the button, which is very considerate! As a big factory, D-link DWA-192 Both the main network card and the data cable together reflect the consistent standard of the factory

use:

The installation process is very simple, but let me say more. For the driver of the network card, it is recommended that those who want to buy it please log in D-link Download the latest network card driver from our official website, so as to provide better performance and more stable play to the true ability of hardware.

During use, whether ping Intranet IP There is not much difference between the download speed or intranet transmission speed and the built-in network card of the notebook. The first reason is that the domestic internet conditions are not up to the standard. In many places 2M and 4M Network, even for my personal use 100M In fact, optical fiber usually 5M On the intranet, AC1200 The router of has not been popularized, let alone D-link DWA-19 2's AC1900 In addition to the wireless transmission between computers NAS It is almost impossible to meet the needs of these geek families D-link DWA-19 2, plus 5G The signal is not as good as 2.4G Therefore, the positioning of this product must also take into account the future hardware development space. Therefore, rather than talking about the speed of improvement that is not obvious, it is better to talk about its ease of use and compatibility.

The above figure is a rare signal test with some differences. Paste two pictures to share. Qualcomm is a laptop network card.

Simple installation process in terms of usability, plus WPS The one key security setting function makes it easy to play with it. In terms of compatibility, except for the backward compatibility of the protocol 802.11 a/b/g/n And simultaneously support 2.4G Frequency band and 5GHz Frequency band, even at the computer connector USB2.0 The interface of can also be easily played.

Summary:

In fact, after playing for a few days, I found that this is D-lin k The product can be regarded as a self benchmarking product, and there are not many daily application scenarios. Because of the same function, it costs more than ten yuan WIFI It can be solved, and the wireless network card with enough performance and a price of 100 yuan is enough for daily family use, three hundred and ninety-nine The price of ninety-nine Meidao). Just more gorgeous appearance and more NB The performance of is not what enthusiasts are looking for. Of course, those Star Wars fans, please grab your wallet, even if it's just for lighting effects!
