preface

   On October 14, 2015, Peanut Shell Company launched the dandelion enterprise level intelligent networking router. Dandelion router is the first router that uses VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) technology to realize intelligent networking. It is the innovative technology developed by Oracle. The use of two or more sets can quickly form a remote LAN into a network through dandelion, replacing the traditional VPN network. It is a new networking technology, enabling easy interconnection between devices. Embedded peanut shell (intranet version), no public network IP address and sunflower remote boot module are required. It has all kinds of functions.

1. Appearance

     When the dandelion router sent it, the package was small, and only plastic protection was available outside the package box. When the outer package is opened, the inside is a pure white box. The front is two logos of dandelion drawn with dotted lines. They are nested together. It is estimated that the meaning of "interconnection" is taken.    The side of the two long sides reads: Dandelion, enterprise intelligent networking route, highlighting the highlight of this router from the packaging. The two short sides are simple, only the logo of dandelion. The back is printed with the introduction of dandelion, main functions and parameters. Hardware configuration provided on the official website: processor (CPU): MT7620A, memory (RAM): 128MB, flash memory (FLASH): 16MB. At the bottom is the introduction of product features: "intelligent networking", "embedded peanut shell", "cloud management platform". The MAC address and SN number of the router are also attached. SN number and default password are also available at the bottom of the router. These two information are very important and should be used in configuration. Open the box, and there is a picture story around the bottom floor:

1. At 0:10 in the morning, the IT man and pony are still working hard every day; 2. At 4:04 in the morning, Ma finally returned home. Without his girlfriend, he had to rely on H.264 and toilet paper to live... 3. Until one day, the pony met her... 4. Duang！ Happiness is so simple! Ok, now it's time for the leader to come out of the mountain. At the top is the explanation, below is the real body, and at the bottom is the power adapter and connecting cable. The last full member diagram and each component diagram: The product description will not be repeated. It is the same and has no new ideas.

The source adapter and connection cable are familiar. They are the same as the mobile phone charger (tell the important thing three times). Blessed are the losers who surf the Internet at school. When the power is cut off at night, they can take out their mobile power and play with their mobile phones. The dandelion router shell is made of solid materials. The shell is an aluminum alloy shell treated by anodized aluminum paint spraying process, and the overall feel is very good. The material is good, and the appearance is a little stiff. Compared with Xiaomi's appearance, it is better than 360's. There is a dandelion logo in the middle of the front, which is simple and atmospheric in design. Two external 5dBi high gain omnidirectional antennas are used, which can rotate 180 degrees freely at the same time, and are suitable for placement at various positions and angles. The front display screen has three icons, namely, power, networking and Wi Fi, which will light up when the corresponding functions are enabled. The reset key, one WAN interface, three LAN interfaces and one MicroUSB power input interface are behind, which can be clearly distinguished at a glance, and is very considered by non-technical personnel 。 2. Experience  

   For the first time, you need to access the website link from the website or mobile phone, open the browser and enter "oraybox. com" to enter the router background. If the router is used, it is OK to use the mobile phone. The dandelion router can automatically detect whether the Internet access mode is broadband dialing, dynamic IP or static IP. For broadband dialing, you need to enter the broadband account and broadband password from the operator below, and click "Go online now" after entering. For the first login, you need to enter the SN code and mobile phone verification code on the back of the router to register. The SN code and password can be found on the back of the box or the back of the router. The data needs to be improved for the first login. There was no screenshot at that time, and it can be upgraded online. For the first time, it needs to be upgraded and restarted. I forgot the screenshot, and it will take several minutes to restart.    After logging in, you can enter the home page of the router. The whole background is divided into three modules: "home page", "device management" and "application center". The top three circles on the home page are local devices (number of connections, wired or wireless), dandelion routers (including router names and IP addresses), and public network IP addresses. They all have uplink and downlink speeds, and networking information. Click the circle of the router to get the following interface, which displays the router name, SN code, MAC address, LAN IP address, subnet mask, DHCP status, and routing system version. In addition to this information, there are three circles that show the percentage of CPU load, memory usage, and Flash usage.    There are many interface functions of the management function, including intelligent networking, system information, Internet settings WI-FI devices, LAN settings, password modification, system upgrade, restart routing, restore factory settings, port mapping, DHCP settings, custom HOST, network MTU, intelligent QoS, MAC address cloning, MAC and IP binding, MAC Internet access control, DNS settings, static routing, and DMZ. Among them, the functions worth mentioning include: hidden router, wall crossing mode, etc. Since the router is placed near the TV, the main bedroom needs to turn on the through wall mode to stabilize the signal.

The application center module officially provides two special services: peanut shell dynamic domain name resolution and sunflower remote opening. However, at present, the sunflower remote boot service is not open to users.

Intelligent networking is similar to VPN. According to the instructions, devices in different networks can eventually form a large LAN to achieve interoperability.

To sum up, there are several steps:

1. Login , add dandelion router.

PS： Login requires Good peanut shell account.

2. Select Network Type

There are two types of networks: peer-to-peer and distributed. Full of sunflowers is the sense of vision.

3. Intelligent networking, select members.

PS： The LAN IP addresses of routers must be different, and it is recommended that the network segments be different

Networking requires more than 2 routers, so this is just theory, not practice

3. Summary

advantage: Material is Aluminum alloy housing , sturdy and durable ；

         USB power standard is adopted, It can be interchanged with mobile phones or charged with mobile power;

         The antenna is two external non detachable 5dBi high gain omnidirectional antennas , also equipped with three modes ；

         Set up local area network, embedded peanut shell (intranet version) and sunflower remote boot module 。

  Deficiency: the appearance is not attractive enough;

        The packaging is simple. Some users said that some of the antennas of the delivered goods fell off;

The component network must be two dandelions. In fact, it can be combined with other routers, so it is convenient for us to try;

        100M LAN port can be upgraded to gigabit, so as to meet the sharing and transmission of enterprise class big data After all, there are relatively few household products.
