Write in front

      2015 The year was the year when smart hardware became popular in China. A variety of smart devices came into being, from smart bracelets and smart TVs to smart homes and smart cars. Of course, this includes the smart router we are talking about today. At present, there are many brands of smart routers on the market, including old brands and new brands, What kind of router is an excellent intelligent router? In my opinion, the criteria for judging whether a router is excellent are always reliable quality, stable performance, and ensuring the stability of the user network. The next is intelligence, intelligent management terminal, intelligent network resource allocation, intelligent defense against network attacks, etc. This is also the advantage of the router over traditional routers. It can be said that a router can be called an excellent intelligent router if it has the above two elements. So how does the Bihoo intelligent router bring convenience and better experience to our network life? Now the author will unveil it.  

I Unpacking

  When I opened the express, I saw that the outer package did not shock me, but it was still very powerful in my hand. The man of science and engineering liked the products with weight most, and he felt psychologically that he needed enough materials. The packaging box used simple design language, and the whole body was pure white with colors. Only two symmetrical tiger heads were carved on the front and back Logo , a trademark bar code is pasted at the bottom, and there is no extra element. The author has thought that the packaging designer may be a Virgo...... Here you are twenty-three Let's say something nice about the handmade packaging box.

Tear off the plastic seal on the outer package, and take out the router after a lot of effort. I didn't feel the effect that the officially advertised box would automatically slide open. However, the round shape and appearance still give the author a bright feeling. In addition, the roundness of the product and the square of the packaging box also have some philosophical implications.

Above the box is the router, below is the accessories, a power adapter, and two network cables. They are placed very solidly, looking very comfortable, and can quite experience the spirit of Lao Luo's craftsmanship.

So far, the unpacking has been completed. From packaging to products to accessories, we can see the intention of the manufacturer. The simple and elegant style has also made me very happy and give me a good comment!

II Beauty Chapter

  Network cable: The two network cables inside the box gave me an indescribable good impression. To be honest, it was the first time to see such exquisite network cables in the Internet for seven or eight years. The flexibility of the wire material was very good. The metal rimmed crystal head showed a "noble" temperament in the silent place.

  The power adapter: It seems very large and puzzling. After a careful look, it is found that this is a PoE adapter. Only one network cable is needed between the adapter and the router, which can not only transmit data but also supply power, thus greatly increasing the mobility of the router. This kind of poe power supply is common in wireless AP products, but Bihoo has creatively applied it to home routers, which can be said to be ingenious and worthy of being an old manufacturer of wireless products.

  Router: There is a power supply and network cable interface on the body, a reset button in the middle, a USB expansion interface on the side, and a radium carving breathing lamp on the top, which has a round and beautiful shape. Officially, it is made of precision forging and pressing+high-precision CNC engraving+3D high-precision polishing+extremely fine sand blasting+anodic oxidation, which has a very delicate feel and very good sanding treatment, I believe you have never seen such a beautiful router like the author. My colleague asked me to sell it to him when I opened it, which shows its attraction.

III Performance

  In terms of hardware, Bihoo router adopts Qualcomm enterprise class processor, built-in smart dual antenna, and is equipped with Bihoo's self-developed "100 end concurrent access technology" and Air X technology. Officially, it can achieve 1949+m two It can be said that the performance is very powerful.

First, we set up the router. The router setting is foolproof, It includes PC end and mobile phone APP, input broadband account password and set WiFi name password to access the Internet, which is super simple.

After the network was connected, I simply tested the signal strength and compared it with my original router.

The above figure shows three test charts of Bihoo Route, and the following figure shows three test charts of FAST Route. The three test charts show the signal strength of unblocked signal, one wall across and two walls across. From the test results, Bihoo Router does not show enough advantages. The signal strength is even about 2dB lower, and the attenuation after passing through the wall is almost the same. Considering the error factor, the performance of the two is almost the same. In addition, the FAST route used in this comparison is a three antenna router (the signal should be stronger than the two antenna router). From a digital perspective, the Bihoo route did not surprise the author. However, in actual use, before using this fast model, 10 terminals could be connected to the Internet normally, while more than 10 terminals would often be disconnected, and the router would go on strike whenever it moved. After the change of Bihoo, now our 20 terminals (laptops and mobile phones) are online at the same time without disconnection. It seems that the official publicity“ support one hundred The terminal accesses the Internet smoothly at the same time ”It's not just a random talk.

IV Intelligence

  As an intelligent router, Bihoo Routing mainly explores the routing performance. Next, we will experience its intelligent effects. Bihoo is equipped with the latest version of uRouter intelligent OS system, which is equivalent to the brain of Bihoo Routing. Its related functions are realized through the control of mobile APP.

  After downloading the APP, you can communicate with the router by simply setting it up. The following is the main page of the Bihoo Routing APP, which is quite artistic, especially the dynamic map of the galaxy at the top, making the rigid interface alive and the page layout reasonable. The following menu shows that the APP has three main pages: "My Route", "Smart Plug in" and "More", The main interface is "My Route", which mainly has five functions. There are four functions in the figure below, and there is a function to count yesterday's network usage. You can call out the interface when the main page slides down. In addition, there is a hyperlink of the Bihoo community in the middle of the page, and you can directly visit the community by clicking it.

My Routes page: The most useful function is "terminal management". You can view networked devices, add notes, speed limit and blacklist functions to the devices, which is simple and practical.

Smart Plug in page: Where "UpLink The "visitor function" is a bit of a chicken bone. After the visitor mode is turned on, the router will share a password free WiFi. After the user connects, he needs to put his mobile phone on the router for 10 seconds before he can access the Internet. Imagine if it is convenient for an outsider to tell him the password directly when he comes to your home, or if it is convenient for you to turn on a visitor mode again (the place where the router is placed is too hidden)? The function of "WiFi timer switch" is also practical. First, it can keep the router fully rested. Second, it can supervise family members to work and rest on time and praise them. I don't see any use for other network speed optimization and USB storage.

More interface: Needless to say, it mainly includes personal information, feedback and application update functions.

From the above, we can see that the design of the Bihoo Routing APP is relatively simple and friendly, which ensures that users can easily get started. Other functions need to be developed later.

V Some questions

1. Some functions need to be developed, such as USB disk extension and visitor function;

  2. 802.11ac and Gigabit Ethernet ports There is no egg for the time being, but you can't do without it (the consumer said);

3. Signal problem. Does the metal material of the router body affect the signal strength?

4. The design of heat dissipation and sealed body is still worried about its heat dissipation capacity. Will it have fever in summer?

VI summary

Bihoo Route is small and light, and its ID design is unique. It changes the appearance of the traditional route, and integrates the beauty of art into the product. No matter the sense of vision, texture, or performance, it is outstanding. As a new brand, Bihoo uses its products to show its attitude, which is also lacking in the current intelligent hardware circle. Of course, 12 years of WiFi R&D experience has also laid a solid foundation for the birth of Bihoo, enabling its products to be built with ease, which is beyond the reach of ordinary router manufacturers. From the experience of this half month, Bihoo Routing can be called a small, delicate and powerful intelligent router!
