I heard that the Bihoo router has been around for a long time. Since the small and round Bihoo intelligent router, I have been fascinated. I am very pleased to be blessed by the Holy Spirit this time.
Now let's get straight to the topic!
The first time I saw the box, it was really big. I saw the parameters of the original Bihoo intelligent router. The router was very small and could be placed anywhere at home. When I opened the PLUS box, I was really shocked. The size of half a brick, it was said that the designer must have used the design ideas of our country for reference, and got such a lost inspiration from it.
The top and bottom of PLUS are made of plastic, and the periphery is made of aluminum alloy. When taking out the router, I found that the aluminum alloy has been polished white, which shows how strong the paper box is, enough to withstand various violent express delivery. The top of the front is the position of the indicator light. When measured, the indicator light is very bright, which is not suitable for the bedroom. If it is really placed in the bedroom, it is recommended to stick a piece of adhesive tape, or it may affect the user's sleep, because I was scared at night... The four anti slip pads at the bottom should be silicone, and the anti slip effect is good.
Now let's take a look at the specific interface workmanship. The workmanship is up to standard without any jerry building. My three generals of the Three Kingdoms point to the only three ports of this machine. The WAN port of this machine is ingeniously placed on the power adapter.
In fact, the feel of the power adapter is much better than the feel of the router. It's just the texture of the Apple adapter. The overall gap is even, burr free, and the quality of the factory is reliable.
It's customary to have a family photo. Bihu didn't send the Internet cable. It's a bit unfair. Fortunately, there are still some at home. Otherwise, the password will not be available for moving! If you want to hang the router on the wall, you can use the accessory "Tiger Symbol", but you can't find a place to buy it.
Now let's take a look at the competitor of Bihoo PLUS, the Leike nw788, a dual band four antenna sent by Great Wall Broadband. The signal is poor. The firmware is not updated. It stops halfway through the wall. I feel that the signal is absorbed by the wall. Don't be fooled by its appearance. It is very weak! Because of it, I became a black Lei Ke.
It seems that the PLUS is not so exaggerated.
Look at the contrast map of the power adapter. The adapter of Bihoo is a big circle, and the texture and quality are all excellent. The white one looks very high-end. Bihoo produces no inferior products!
Look again at the comparison of appearance and parameters:
The input voltage is 100~240V. The output of the Leike adapter is 12V 1A, and the output of the Bihoo adapter is 24V 0.8A. The converted values are 12W and 19.2W, respectively. The power of Bihoo is still higher.
Now connect the power supply and start using it. Connect the attached power cable to the router and power adapter, connect the power, and then plug the cable into the adapter to set up the Internet connection! This position is really beautiful.
The indicator light of the router flashes red when it is started, red and blue when there is no network, and blue when it is normal. The following pictures are attached. The left indicates no network status, and the right indicates that the network is normal. The blinking is too slow when the network is normal. If you cannot record two cycles, don't panic.
The network is connected. As an intelligent router, APPs cannot fail. Download directly from the official website on the mobile phone. 13MB is not big, the download speed is also fast, and the official website server is good.
Open apps, and you can see a simple transition picture. It's Mother's Day, and you can add a picture of Mother's Day to praise Bihu. At the beginning of registration, you can only use your mobile phone number to register, which is not very understandable. I hate this kind of registration, which makes people feel insecure. I hope to add email registration or WeChat login.
Enter apps, and the following four options, terminal, optimization, discovery, and mine, are all conventional routines, without making too many redundant statements. The optimization has no obvious effect, just comfort me.
The specific settings are all in mine.
Enter the password of the broadband account below. I directly use the password moving function, which is simple and practical enough. The operation method can be seen intuitively on the apps. It is suitable for young and old people:
The maximum signal strength is directly selected:
However, Bihoo also has a powerful function, which is the visitor function ulink, and the secure shared routing function that can make money for us.
The ulink function can make it easier for visitors to connect to WIFI, but we will not disclose the password. Especially, the heinous miui once had a route sharing function, and the account password was leaked, making everyone miserable.
The route sharing function is to share the spare bandwidth to passers-by in exchange for pocket money. Some netizens said that it was about 1 to 5 yuan, but why was it only 0.57 yuan when I tried it.
Device management is a wonderful thing, but it has location positioning. It should be used to pick up girls. The most important function should be the blacklist function, let you rub the net again, kick kick kick!!
Next, start to test the signal, starting with the evil nw788 pk.
The house at home is too small, only 55 square meters, 5 floors, and it is an old building, not a high-rise. The size of the house is 9.5m * 4.3m. However, the nw788 cannot completely cover. Every time when I am in the parking space downstairs, the signal of the mobile phone is not enough for the use of the mobile phone. I can find the signal but cannot access the Internet. That feeling is really uncomfortable. Positions 4, 5 and 6 are tested downstairs. Bihu router It is bhuwifi -, Leike 2.4G signal of router Is HOME, 5G signal It is HOME5G. Through the comparison in the figure below, we find that the signal of Bihoo still has some advantages. However, I use the HOUSE option, and the signal strength should be the strongest. The picture shows the signal strength of the four bedroom room. In fact, the ability to penetrate the wall is not as good as the legend. During the test, all routers have no signal in the corridor. At position 6, you can access the Internet when connecting to Bihoo, but you can only connect when connecting to HOME, and cannot access the Internet.
The test software I found at the beginning was the wifi viewer, which was very sensitive without advertising, but!!! It is also produced by bhu. As an impartial tester, we must find a third party, although with advertisements
The end use is the WIFI connection manager that many people use.
The figure above starts from the following:
Position 1:
Position 2:
Position 3:
Position 4, 5, 6:
Show me the three-dimensional picture of my family. As a designer, I know I can't be proud:
When I was bored browsing the forum, I suddenly found the new version of firmware, and resolutely updated it. I found that there is an additional cloud function, which is actually cloud management, but I think it is not as user-friendly as the old version of firmware. It seems that ulink and security sharing can only be managed through web pages, and I don't know where to delete a Wifi ssid after adding a security share.
The upgrade prompt takes about 4 minutes. In fact, it takes 2 or 3 minutes.
Below is a screenshot of ucloud:
Here's a summary of the experience in the past few days:
advantage
1. The package is dense and the box is solid, suitable for express transportation. The package and appearance are very apple, with high appearance and good workmanship;
2. The power cable and the network connection cable are combined into one, which is very creative and practical;
3. Apps is very convenient and user-friendly;
4. The password moving function is very practical;
5. Bihu's signal is really strong. At least Leike's 2.4g and 5g can't match it;
6. Free renewal for life,
7. There are many people in the forum, and if you have questions, someone will reply soon;
8. Firmware is updated in a timely manner, and problems are solved in a timely manner.
9. Can earn money, can earn money, can earn money;
10. Network sharing is very convenient, just put your phone near the router.
11. It can be directly adsorbed on the surface of the refrigerator, which is convenient.
shortcoming
1. It is produced by a large factory, but it is not equipped with additional network cables, which is too bad;
2. The router body is not packaged independently, causing abrasion of the aluminum alloy part;
3. Too many plastic materials are selected, probably because the built-in antenna is afraid of shielding;
4. Apps are not updated timely with firmware;
5. Firmware update is not prompted, and you need to download it on the forum;
6. There is no place to buy wall accessories;
7. The indicator light is too bright, if it is placed in the bedroom, it should be considered to avoid light;
8. Average wall penetration capacity;
conclusion
Although there are some small problems, the shortcomings do not cover the shortcomings. In general, this is a good router worth recommending. In the highly competitive market, it has its own characteristics, especially the money earning function. I hope that Bihoo will make persistent efforts to provide you with better products and better after-sales service.
Thanks again Love to play computer games The products provided by Hebihu let me experience the power of scientific and technological progress. I hope you can do better and provide better products for everyone.
