Mobile intelligent terminal devices such as smart phones and tablets have entered people's lives. Routers, as the data transfer and management center of home and office networks, play a very important role. Today, we will introduce a Bihoo intelligent router specially designed for large families and micro enterprises plus 。

[Unpacking]

The package adopts a white design, with a label of "Lei Feng Trial" on the front:

At the top and bottom, there is a tiger head of the Bihoo router LOGO ：

At the bottom of the back is some simple information about this router:

After unpacking, we can see that this router adopts a white design:

Taking out the router, the author found that the biggest difference between this router and the routers used in the past is that it uses the design of built-in high gain antennas, which makes the overall router more concise than the router with external antennas:

The four corners on the back of the router are equipped with anti-skid foot pads, and the upper middle part of the router is equipped with the Bihoo router LOGO , and its model and other simple information are shown below:

The bottom of the router is the power supply from left to right（ POWER ）Interface, reset key（ RESET ）And LAN（ LAN ）Interface. We can see that its power interface adopts the same design as the network cable interface, which is also relatively novel:

The common information of this router and S/N Code:

At the bottom of the router are the instructions, power cord and charging connector of the router:

The power cord is packaged in a small paper box connected at both ends of the cuboid:

Both ends of the power cord adopt a design similar to the network cable interface to facilitate the connection with the router:

Power cord connector details:

The front of the power adapter has its model, input / Output voltage, current, frequency and other information:

There are two interfaces at the bottom: the left is the power supply（ POWER ）Interface, WAN on the right（ WAN ）Interface. General router WAN The interfaces are all located on the router. This router uses WAN The design of the interface on the power adapter is a breakthrough:

The effect after connection is as follows:

When the router is powered on, the breathing light is displayed in two colors: red and blue. Different colors represent different states: the red indicator flashes to indicate that the router has started, the red and blue indicator flashes alternately to indicate that the router cannot access the Internet, and the blue indicator flashes to indicate that the router can access the Internet normally.

A magnet is built in the bottom of the router, which can be attached to the file cabinet and other places, making full use of space and giving consideration to beauty:

[Setting Connection]

Connect the power cord and plug it into the socket, and use the network cable to connect the router WAN And the broadband network port at home or Modem After the interface on the Internet is connected, we can start the Internet experience through a few simple settings.

After the breathing light turns red and blue, you can find the name“ BhuWiFi-0 ”Of WiFi , click Connect, and the mobile phone will automatically pop up the browser setting interface. If it does not pop up automatically, you need to manually open the browser and enter in the browser address bar bhuwifi.com or 192.168.62.1 Enter the setting interface. Click "Start Setting", and the device will automatically detect one of the following two Internet access modes: broadband Internet access / dynamic IP . When "broadband internet access" is detected, the broadband account and password provided by the network operator need to be entered; "Dynamic" detected IP ”Click "Next" directly without setting. The Internet access mode of the author at home is broadband Internet access, while it is dynamic at work IP , both settings are very simple. After the network is set, set it WiFi Name and password, you can enjoy the Internet.

After setting, it will be found that a security share named "Bihoo Security Share" is automatically generated WiFi ”Of WiFi After clicking the connection, the prompt "Reward" will pop up automatically before you can access the Internet. The author has tested several times and the amount of reward is one Random amount within yuan. The payment method includes WeChat and Alipay. After the reward is given, you can connect to the WiFi Go online.

This provides an opportunity for restaurants and shops in public places to make money one Rewards less than RMB yuan can connect past customers to their own WiFi , while bringing benefits and flow of people to the store, it also provides convenience for customers passing by, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

After the connection is successful, you can log in to the mobile browser to enter 192.168.62.1 Manage the router. The default management password is admin The interface is divided into two menus: "My Route" and "System Settings":

In addition, you can set WiFi Change the password and signal mode of; If your Internet access mode has changed, you can use broadband Internet and dynamic Internet access settings according to your own Internet environment IP , Static IP Make relevant settings in.

In the "Device Management" interface, you can view the device name, status, location information SN No., working mode and shared network:

In the Authentication Template, you can simply set the secure shared network:

Personally, I don't think it is necessary to set this website. The management of the router only uses one IP The address is enough, and the management interface does not have many practical functions. It is suggested that it can be improved and integrated in the future.

[Signal strength test]

For routers, the most important thing is signal strength. The author used“ WiFi Analyzer is used to test the router signal.

In the room where the router is placed WiFi The signal is extremely strong, and the reading is -24dBm ：

After a wall is separated, the signal strength decreases and the reading becomes -57dBm ：

After the separation of two walls, the signal strength further attenuates to -80dBm ：

After three walls are separated, the mobile phone WiFi The connection display shows that there is still one bar of signal, but the value of signal strength cannot be read on the software. In the same floor, if the router is placed in the middle, it can theoretically cover horizontally five Rooms, shared coverage on both sides of the corridor ten Rooms.

In terms of vertical distance, the author also conducted a simple test. When separated by one layer and two rooms from the center of the router, the measured signal strength is -86dBm , which can meet the general use requirements:

This signal strength is more than enough for ordinary families, but also enough for some small businesses, private shops, restaurants, etc.

Summary

Bihu Router plus The appearance is beautiful, the signal is stable, and I can make money. That's how I feel these days. The only regret is that APP The operation of the is not very stable. It often crashes when used. I hope the siege lions can improve in the future. two hundred and ninety-nine The price is also reasonable. If you are running a shop or restaurant, the dense flow of people will soon bring you benefits. Well, this is the end of the evaluation of this router. Thanks for the trial opportunity provided by Lei Feng.com and for your careful reading. See you next time!
