What kind of wireless router is better to use? I'm afraid everyone has a steelyard in mind. Some people like stability, some people like multiple functions, and some people want to be able to install the plug-ins they need at will. But it's undeniable that what people expect most is the signal. No amount of function is as powerful as the signal, After all, as a wireless router, the first priority is to provide stable and strong wireless signals. For small households, the use of wireless routers is of course not a problem. After all, the signal strength of current intelligent router products can basically meet the needs of small households; For large houses or villas, ordinary wireless router signals can no longer meet the needs of users. It is better to purchase multiple routers and place one in each corner, or use a suitable router to meet the needs. If I choose one, I will definitely choose one. After all, even if it is a relay mode, Additional power supply is also required.

Bihoo Smart Router Plus is positioned as a large house or villa, so the author is very looking forward to its signal strength. When I received the Bihoo router, I was still surprised by its huge outer package. The router was packaged with environment-friendly paper, and the overall design was white, with the logo of Bihoo on the side.

Bihoo Plus adopts Qualcomm enterprise class processor, 64MB DDR2 operation memory and 16MB storage space. As far as the current hardware configuration of intelligent router is concerned, this configuration is only average. However, it is understandable that Bihoo router is a pure wireless router product.

In addition to the power supply and power line, a simple instruction is also provided. The setting of Bihoo Plus is relatively simple. In addition to focusing on the power supply mode and setting the website, the instructions can follow the prompts.
 
Bihoo Router Plus uses DC24V switching power supply and PoE power supply mode, which is slightly different from the DC12V commonly used by most smart routers at present.
 
Because Bihu Plus adopts PoE mode, its broadband access hole is located in the switching power supply. The PoE power supply mode has the advantage of convenient engineering construction.
 
Bihoo Smart Router Plus adopts a rectangular design. The size of the magazine shows the huge size of the router. The overall design of the router is white with a silver base.
 
The router adopts separate design, with white PVC at the top and full metal bottom frame at the bottom. The corners are rounded.
 
The top of the router adopts the design of breathing light, which displays the working status of the router.
 
The side of the router is the input interface, including the PoE interface. At the same time, Bihoo provides a LAN interface. The middle of the PoE interface and the LAN interface is the reset button.
 
Bihoo router adopts PoE mode, so it provides special power supply network cable. The length of the network cable provided by Bihoo is very powerful.
 
The Bihoo router indicates the working status through the breathing light, which is displayed through blue and red LEDs respectively. Red indicates that the router is started, and blue indicates that the router is connected normally.
 
In terms of router signals, the direction of the indicator light is the strongest direction. Users can choose the placement according to their needs. In addition to direct placement, the Bihoo Smart Router Plus base provides a magnetic suction mode, which can be easily attached to iron objects, such as distribution boxes.
 
Bihoo's WEB settings are very simple. You can easily connect to the Internet by prompting you to enter your account password or using DHCP.
 
Web settings don't have many functions, so Bihoo routers still need APP to get the best experience. Bihoo only provides the way to register mobile phone number, but does not provide quick login methods such as QQ, WeChat and Weibo. The home page displays a list of devices.
 
In order to obtain the best use effect or network optimization, Bihoo provides the router speed measurement function. It is recommended that users give priority to speed measurement before use to obtain the best experience.
 
The user can comment on the connected router, but from the author's actual experience, this function is of little practical significance at present. In order to access the router settings, you need to click on the Bihoo device in the APP. I feel a little inconvenient. What I expect is that the Bihoo router in "Discovery" will not enter the comment page, but directly enter the settings of Bihoo devices.
 
The APP settings of Bihoo Router Plus are relatively simple. It includes the terminal display page, router settings and plug-in configuration. At the same time, the router also provides a way to authenticate the network, which should be one of the most distinctive features of the Bihoo router.

Click the device in the device list to enter the device details, and you can limit the speed of each device or pull it into the blacklist. It should be said that the Bihoo router does not provide too many options in terms of plug-ins. It is a relatively pure router product.
 
In addition to being used by users at home, the Bihoo router also provides a unique way to use the network through rewards. Users can use the shared network of the Bihoo router through payment.
For this function, many users may have the same concerns as the author. As a resident along the street, and there are many tenants around the author, for these co tenants, sometimes the price of setting up the network may be slightly higher. After all, they are not in the room, or in the company or outside. For these users, Maybe more functions are just used as a place of residence, but inevitably, sometimes you need to use the network to deal with some things. At this time, the shared network price of the Bihoo router is low, which is a very good choice. After all, it is also a very embarrassing thing to ask for a password with a neighbor. Why bother others if you can solve something for a few cents, Take a look at the income of the author in this period of time, it's pretty good.

Next, we will focus on the signal strength of Bihu Router Plus.

The most important aspect of the router is signal strength. After all, Bihoo focuses on signal strength. The author specially found a room with three rooms, two halls, two bathrooms and more than 140 square meters to experience the signal strength of Bihoo Router Plus.

Test the signal strength through 5 test points according to the placement position of the router. The above figure shows the signal strength test in sequence, where test is the signal of the Bihoo router, and test1 is the signal of the magic bean router, which outputs the shared network through the Bihoo route. Through practical experience, the wireless signal strength of Bihoo Smart Router Plus exceeds that of Modou Router in all aspects except that it is slightly lower than that of Modou Router at Test Point 4. In the experience of other router products in the early stage, the author also used the magic bean router geek version to compare the signals. It should be said that the magic bean router's wall penetration level should be among the best, but it failed in the signal strength comparison with the Bihoo router Plus, which is enough to show that the signal strength of the Bihoo intelligent router Plus is very powerful. If we choose a more appropriate location, we believe we can obtain better signal strength.
 
Summary
Bihoo Smart Router Plus uses Qualcomm's enterprise processor, 64MB of DDR2 storage, 16MB of storage space, moderate hardware configuration, and dual polarization antenna design and PoE connection mode. Large family or villa use has more advantages. Users with poor home signals can consider it.
