preface

With the continuous development of network technology, people's lives are becoming more and more information-based and intelligent. In particular, various smart homes have mushroomed in recent years. A variety of smart home devices make people's lives more convenient, but they are often inseparable from a device, that is, smart routing! Yes, routers have also added the concept of intelligence, and various technologies have emerged in endlessly. But I was disappointed by the pain (poor signal) of intelligent routing after experiencing several types of intelligent routing (millet, polar routing). I believe that strong signal is the first choice, followed by other choices. For this "Bihoo Smart Router Plus" launched by Beijing Huaxin Lianchuang Technology Co., Ltd., it can meet the needs of consumers, especially smart home users, for the network. Let's share our experience of this router these days.

Appearance appreciation

On Before the trial, I would like to say thank you to Lei Feng for his trust and support. Since I participated in the trial of Lei Feng's products, I have participated in several product trials from a novice to the present【 Love to play computer games 】Lei Feng has always provided us with a variety of smart cool play product experiences. As long as you love cool play and often pay attention to the activities of love play, each product will be supported and participated in when it goes online, and there will always be a place for you here, because Lei Feng always carries forward the spirit of Lei Feng to newcomers as the same name All newcomers will have the opportunity to experience Coldplay products. To play cool products, please look at the following sticker [Lei Feng Trial] ↓↓↓

Different from the millet and newifi routing packages used before, the outer package of the Bihoo Plus wireless router is simple and pure white, just like the outer package of most mobile phones in the market, which is in the form of a heaven and earth cover, which is also its uniqueness ↓↓↓

Since the beginning of the iPhone, the vast majority of mobile phones have been packaged with a ceiling. The biggest advantage of this kind of packaging is that the damping feel generated when opening the box is always full of expectations, which satisfies consumers' curiosity ↓↓↓

After unpacking, the Bihoo Plus wireless router quietly walks in the packaging box, just like the "Moonlight Treasure Box", which has neither antenna nor buttons, and the surface is so simple that only a breathing light remains ↓↓↓

It doesn't look like a router box at all. Its four sides are as clean as a mirror. In addition to the four rubber pads on the back for anti-skid support, there is a Bihoo logo and product information. ↓↓↓

This does not look like a routing box in any way. The only place where people can see the routing is the bottom three openings [Power], [Reset], [LAN Interface] (Yes, different from the general intelligent routing, there is no power key, not even a USB interface) ↓↓↓

The family photo of Bihoo Plus wireless router. In addition to the router, power adapter and manual, a special network cable is also attached ↓↓↓

This distinctive network cable is not only a network cable, but also a power cable ↓↓↓

Take out this power cord, you can see that it is not only exquisite, but also fully bound for six circles, up to 3m. This is very practical for most users, and you can move the position according to user needs (for example, it can be moved at any time when the signal is bad) ↓↓↓

The distinctive network cable attached to the Bihoo Plus wireless router is not only long enough, but also well made. I feel it is heavy and solid when I hold it in my hand, and the anti-interference design is added to the interface ↓↓↓↓

The output power of Bihoo Plus wireless router power adapter is 24V 0.8A ↓↓↓

The two openings on the power adapter use network cable interfaces, which can support blind plugging, but for safety reasons, it is recommended to select the delivered power cable to connect to the Power port ↓↓↓↓

Experience

After a simple unpacking and some detailed introduction, we directly entered the product experience. This new design of the Bihoo Plus wireless router is described by the official language as
[The whole metal frame is used to form a fully enclosed body. The innovative design uses a professional NdFeB permanent magnet at the bottom, which can be adsorbed and placed more flexibly. The laser carving breathing lamp at the top of the body demonstrates the beauty of industry in details.] The parameters given by the official are as follows ↓↓↓ ：

The biggest difference between this Bihoo Plus wireless router and other routers is its power interface. It adopts the PoE network electricity integration technology, which is independently developed and created It is mainly used to power wireless APs, webcams, etc. (Power supply and data are integrated into one, no need to connect power again) When setting the wireless route, plug the network cable into the router's WAN port, then use the computer to enter the router settings page, set the WAN port to PPPoE, and then fill in the account number and password. of course, Like other intelligent routes, route is used Connect the Bihoo Plus wireless router with the following simple steps Go to the Internet ↓↓↓

It is believed that the first step for many users to install intelligent routing is to download APP. In fact, this is the second step. How can they download applications without setting up networking?

Download the Bihoo WiFi security manager to set the route. Of course, you can use the webpage to set the route without downloading ↓↓↓

As an intelligent router, it basically has some necessary functions, which can basically meet the daily use of users. Here are some highlights of the Bihoo Plus wireless router that I think are the first, network optimization. After all, network speed is the most direct and important key to affect the user experience. Unfortunately, this function is deeply hidden, There are five steps from opening the application to entering this interface. I don't know what the UI designer of Bihoo thinks ↓↓↓

Bihu Plus Other features of wireless router include [Terminal receives online notification] [Traffic statistics] [Hide SSID] ↓↓↓

[Terminal receiving online notification] allows users to receive notification when they receive a device connection route. In addition to knowing who their family is using the network, they can also Effectively prevent illegal intrusion into connection routers;

[Traffic statistics] It can count how much traffic users use every day. There are two options for users to operate the equipment, "blackout" and "speed limit". This is very convenient and user-friendly in some small enterprises or dormitories where many people share the network;

The [Hide SSID] is also hidden deeply, but I think this option is applicable to all users. After connecting the device you want to connect to the router, you can click this option. Even if others want to crack your wifi password, how can you crack the wifi signal? In another case, if your neighbor asks you for your wifi password, you can use it if you don't want to give it but are embarrassed to refuse. However, after several tests, it is known that this option often fails to open, that is, it will automatically close after opening.

As for some other features and highlights, I think they are rather weak. In fact, everyone hopes that the stronger the network signal is, the better. If it is weakened, they just want to let others connect. With the above features, are you afraid that others will steal traffic?

Trial summary

I am not a professional network operator. I first used the intelligent router because the iPad on my hand is a beggar's version, and only 16G has a few software spaces. I learned that intelligent routing can be expanded and stored, so I bought intelligent routing to learn about this product. Intelligent routing has mushroomed in recent years, such as polar routing Xiaomi route, 360 security route, Lenovo newifi route and so on have many kinds of names. Consumers who do not know about them are often difficult to choose. Just as I always thought that the more powerful the intelligent route is, the better. But after using several intelligent routers, frankly speaking, these routes can not meet the most basic user needs, which is the signal problem. The ability to penetrate the wall is particularly poor, In a 20 square room with one room and one living room, the route is placed in the hall, and the signal is disconnected when entering the room. Especially when you are playing games, the sudden disconnection will make you want to destroy the route. Lenovo Newifi, which has been in use for a year, has turned on the wireless relay most of the time, and the living room with one room and one living room actually needs this~!

Replacing Bihu Plus After the wireless router, frankly speaking, the coverage of 1949 square meters is a bit exaggerated, but the signal is really much stronger than all the above intelligent routes, and the stability is very good. The router has never been turned off for a week, and only one line has been dropped. When it comes to the ability to penetrate the wall, it is unknown whether there is an official promotion that can achieve four bedrooms. One wall has indeed weakened a lot. The following is the signal monitoring, and the right is the data measured when the door is closed after returning to the room ↓↓↓

Or perhaps because the place is too small, after all, there are many factors that affect the signal. The suggestions given by JD's official customer service are as follows:

There are many factors that affect the signal. The following suggestions can be provided for the problem of wall penetration:

According to the use environment of the wireless router, select a reasonable location.

1、 An unobstructed, relatively open place. It is not recommended to put it in weak current box, wall corner and other corners where there is obstruction.

2. Avoid placing too high or too low.

3. Avoid putting it near the microwave oven.

4. The router for Bihoo is best placed upright and facing the place with more Internet access.  

PS： Bihoo router can realize the relay function through the brush system.

For wireless trunking, in fact, most of the intelligent routing functions are necessary, but Bihoo does not have such a function. Perhaps because of its strong signal, it can not use this function at all. What I want to say here is the USB interface. Since it can be realized through the system, does not even the USB interface only support online upgrade package brushing?

Finally, some suggestions are made:

1. The USB interface was added to the previous generation of products, but it didn't play its role. This generation of products was canceled directly. This is not friendly. After all, the product can only be done according to user needs. Lenovo's new route 12V can support power supply for 1T mobile hard disks, and Xiangxin Bihu's 24V can also do it, Personally, I think the external mobile hard disk is the minimum necessary function of an intelligent routing;

2. Add rich plug-in downloads. Because of the first point, users can download more plug-ins, such as offline downloads, which are also required by daily users;

3. It is also the most important thing for users. They hope that the price can be made more affordable. Apart from the strong signal, the price has no competitive advantage in the market today;

4. Why do I have to use a mobile phone when I register to log into the router APP? Can't you use a broadband account or just register an account? Or support third-party platform login?

5. The ability to penetrate the wall needs to be improved.

Finally, a warm reminder: The Bihoo Plus intelligent router will vary according to the strength of signals placed in different ways. Generally, signals placed vertically are stronger than those placed horizontally.

Finally, I would like to thank Lei Feng again for his trust in the trial and the product experience provided by Bihoo Router. I hope that the next generation of products will be more powerful and perfect. Thank you for reading, Looking forward to seeing you again.
