1、 introduction

      about The knowledge of routers starts from working with everyone on broadband. Beijing Unicom's 50M broadband costs nearly 2000 yuan a year. It's a waste if two people do it. After all, everyone works and can only access the Internet at night, so the joint network of several dormitories is the right way! At the beginning, the four dormitories shared broadband. At ordinary times, there were more than 10 machines online. At that time, the classic TPLINK WR842N router was used, but at night, it could not access the Internet. Even if everyone did not access the Internet, but only went online, it could not open the web page. The solution is to limit the speed, divide the IP address, limit the online machines, etc. All kinds of solutions have been tried, but they can't be solved originally. Later, I thought it was the performance of the router. So I began to search for routers with a large number of machines on the Internet. I found that there were very few articles evaluated in this regard, and I was ready to start an entry-level enterprise route. However, I found that the price of enterprise routes was high, so I did not start. Later, I felt that the performance of the Xiaomi router was very strong, so I started to find that since then, we have not complained about the Xiaomi router. It seems that the performance is still the key!

       This time We are lucky to be tested by Lei Feng.com“ Bihu ”Router (In fact, I always thought that the manufacturer wanted to take the sound of gecko, but found that its logo was tiger head). Therefore, the performance part of my evaluation will be compared with that of the Bihoo router and the Xiaomi routing MINI. At the same time, this evaluation provides reference for those who share broadband in their dormitories. Let's begin this evaluation.

2. Unpacking

      below For my unpacking video, I found it very heavy after I got the goods, and this time Lei Feng did not label it, it was the original plastic packaging, so I came to an unpacking video, but it is really worth doing. If you get the real machine, you will find that the manufacturer has really put a lot of effort into product manufacturing and packaging. Now let's enjoy it.

3. Appearance

      Bihu The appearance of the router is still high-end and impressive. I have no immunity to this product, and I want to praise it all the time. The details are also well considered. I got the black version. One of the fatal shortcomings of the black version is that it is not resistant to dirt. A little dust can be clearly seen on it, and the upper shell is plastic and glossy, which means fingerprints when you manually move it. Therefore, we recommend that you buy the white version.

         USB The interface is necessary for intelligent routing, but the USB function is general.

         Network cable The interface is the same as the power interface, both of which are network cable designs. The PoE interface used by the power supply can be used as both power cable and data transmission. In this way, the router is not connected with a stack of lines like a normal route. Design like!

         Router The logo of Youbihu is designed on the back. It seems so arrogant. Men like it very much. Now more and more emphasis is placed on intellectual property rights in China. It doesn't say on the back that the design is designed by Youbihu in Beijing!!

         Two in one power cable and network cable , What attracted my attention was two finely packaged cables. The cable head was wrapped with metal. It seemed to be tall and tall. It was the best cable I had ever seen in my life. I am not young after 80, ha ha. However, I suddenly found a problem. During the unpacking video, I didn't notice that the boxes of the two network cables were marked with POWER and INTERNET. However, I can't tell which is which. Fortunately, I made a video to distinguish two network cables. The cable head of the power supply is purple, and the cable for Internet use is transparent. But I don't see any marks on the network cable. I also hope the manufacturer can add marks, and at the same time, I also hope to add a magic strap to the line, which is perfect. After all, we still hope that the cable storage will be better. Note: It can still be used after two network cables are exchanged through small editing test.

Power supply Compared with the general power supply, the power supply is relatively large. This is because of the special design of Bihoo. You can clearly see that the power supply has two network cable ports. It turns out that the manufacturer has used PoE technology, so plug two network cables into the power supply, one is connected to the cat, and the other is connected to the route. This design can make the router look more simple, because only one cable can be connected to the Internet. This is the place that must be praised.

3. Features

Everyone Do you marvel at the appearance of the above Bihoo router? It is the most exquisite and best router I have ever seen. But, to be honest, most of our families don't put the router outside as a display. After the router is connected to the Internet, we basically want to hide the router and stop paying attention to it, It's just a good look. The key is the performance of the equipment. And the main advertisement of Bihu router is that it can cover 1949 square meters, although there is a remark that it is an open area. But what about the details, and can take 100 without card? Is it true that he is so divine? Let's pull him out and walk around!

PC background interface General routing has two tendencies, one is minimalism and the other is super complexity. So Bihu routing belongs to minimalism. This simple design is very easy for non players to use, without any complicated functions. Because generally non players are connected to the Internet -->login account -->Internet. But it's a little simple for geeks. There are three major project categories.

My Route In fact, only the wireless signal settings and Internet settings can be clicked on. Sorry for others, but they can't be clicked on.

System settings As you can see in the figure above, it is actually changing the password. Ha ha, it is too simple. Compared with small routes, its function is weak! Xiaomi has port mapping QoS、 Network anonymity and other practical functions. Why can't even the 360P1 function compare? So the backstage is very boring!

Networked Storage In fact, it is a link that tells you how to open the USB flash disk or mobile hard disk after clicking it. The realized function is just simple sharing, without the remote download function of Xiaomi!

      APP interface In fact, it's also very boring. I say this because I'm a geek. This is not enough for me. OK, don't bother. Let's see.

Above are the three King Kong!

This is network signal regulation. The animation effect is very good.

The above is the network broadband measurement and data usage statistics. You can see how much we use. If we can withstand this kind of postgraduate entrance examination, such routers have passed the exam. We do not have any problems with 18 devices online at the same time. If there is a problem, we can also limit the speed. However, this route is reputed as a QoS intelligent speed limiting function.

There are too few functions for geeks. But for ordinary consumers with low requirements, this product is their favorite, because it can be used through simple settings. If you see someone who is upset, limit his speed.

3. Network quality

In order to test the network quality of the Bihoo router, I will test it at several points in the following figure. The network quality is shown in the following figure. Just look at the figure.

But you must pay attention to that the network quality advertisement of Bihoo Router is definitely not boasted. Look at the same location, the network signal of Xiaomi Router and other routers is quite jumpy, but the signal of Bihoo Router is quite stable!

This is a test near the router.

The above figure shows the test map at Point 1 and Point 2. You can see that the router signal of Bihoo is quite stable, while the Xiaomi route fluctuates.

The signal is good, but is the Internet smooth? When 15 devices are online at the same time, we interviewed a colleague (he uses iPhone 6) who was stuck and disconnected when playing online games. Compared with Xiaomi Routing, the above situation did not occur.

Watch video There is also personal experience. Every night, I use Today's Headlines to browse news and watch videos. Just two days after I used Bihoo Routing, I found that the videos were always circling and could not be loaded. However, in the case of using millet routing before, the above situation did not occur. Basically, it can be viewed in 2 to 3 seconds. Personally, the reason is that Bihoo Routing only has the speed limit function, and I don't know whether it has the Qos function, but I think it does not, because there is no automatic network allocation, which will cause someone to affect others' use of the network when downloading things. The next day, when the video was not available, the speed of the download device was limited. The situation was improved, but it was not very smooth.

4. Carrying capacity

It took me two and a half days to use the Bihoo route. Before I used it, I changed the wireless network name to the same network name as before, so my colleagues were directly and seamlessly transferred to the Bihoo route, so we didn't feel that the router was replaced. This also shows that using Bihoo under high pressure can withstand the situation of multiple online users. However, although the number of machines is good, the network distribution effect needs to be improved. At the same time, we found that this route does not have heat sink holes, and manufacturers may rely mainly on metal shells for heat dissipation. The upper surface of the router still feels warm, but not hot. The figure below shows the simultaneous online status and data flow of 15 devices.

5. Highlights

1. The UpLink visitor network function is also available in the 360P1 router, but it is necessary and convenient for the router for simple life to have such a function. As long as the mobile phone is close to the router, it can connect to the Internet. I think this is also the time for the Bihoo router to show. You can think of such a scenario. When the guest comes and wants to ask for the password, you said to lean over the device to connect. It has to be said that it is a powerful weapon.

2. Magnet adsorption: because it is really a bright spot with adsorption function, it can be adsorbed on the refrigerator, but do you think that generally everyone has metal surfaces such as refrigerators where they are connected to the network cable? I don't think this function can be used 80% of the time, but as long as it is used, it is a highlight!

3. The network signal is stable.

6. Disadvantages

1. Less functions (For geeks like me, others can skip it.)

2. If broadband cannot be distributed intelligently, it will lead to poor Internet access.

3. It is not dual band and does not support 5G networks.

6. Hardware Comparison

       In order to give you effective data when choosing, we listed the hardware configuration of two routers. The hardware is still very necessary, and performance determines everything. In addition, the memory of Bihoo is 64MB less than that of Xiaomi routing. Is this the reason why Bihoo has simplified functions?

The above data is from the official website

summary

       This Compared with other routers such as Xiaomi, the router is absolutely unique, allowing everyone to identify Bihu at a glance. In addition, Bihoo has been working hard on the router. At first, it thought that Bihoo was an emerging Internet brand, and its technology was definitely not good, but it was found that Bihoo was a network hardware company with a history of 13 years. It seems that the hardware design and network optimization are not bad. You can see how stable the network is. However, the hardware configuration may need to be further improved so that geeks can no longer tangle. The author can say that after you get this product, you will find the absolute value of your cost. Demanders who do not need many network settings can choose.
