Router can be said to be an essential appliance for families nowadays. In addition to providing network signals for smart phones, tablets and other terminal devices, it plays an increasingly rich role as more and more smart homes join our lives. Remote control and intelligent speed limit are naturally necessary. Today, we will introduce an AC1200U gigabit intelligent wireless router produced by Bilian.

Appearance

The box is made of glittering golden yellow reflective material, which supports dual frequency concurrency, and the transmission rate can reach up to 1200Mbps. The unique Yundun service can ensure the data security of the router. In addition, this router can also be used together with Alibaba Smart APP to remotely control the relevant parameters of the router through the APP.

In order to prevent damage to the router during transportation, the inner package uses paper brackets with hollowed out edges. However, the space of the brackets is not well controlled, which is a bit wasteful in general.

The accessories in the box include router, charger, network cable, installation guide and use guide.

The overall color of the router is black,

The front bottom is the indicator light of the router. From left to right, there are wireless status indicators (2), local area network (LAN) status indicators (4), wide area network (WAN) status indicators (1), and power indicators (1).

This router uses four external 5DB fixed omnidirectional antennas to maximize the speed, stability and coverage of signal transmission. B-LINK is marked on both sides of the antenna end.

In terms of interfaces, the back provides 1 power interface, 1 WAN interface and 4 LAN interfaces.

The four corners of the back are distributed with router foot pads, and wall hanging holes are reserved on both sides, which can be hung on the wall.

The reset button is located on the left side of the bottom of the router. Press and hold for 5 seconds to reset.

Use

In terms of router connection, plug in the power cable and network cable, search for WiFi on the PC end, and connect the wireless device named B-LINK-XXXX. After successful connection, the browser will automatically open the router setting interface. According to different network environments, this router provides four connection modes: broadband dial, static IP, dynamic IP, and wireless relay.

Configure the router according to the network conditions in your home. After the configuration is successful, you can start surfing the Internet.

After entering the router management interface, you can visually see the current status of the router, including the number of connected devices, download and upload speeds.

Internet settings can be changed at any time according to changes in the home network environment.

In wireless settings, 2.4GWiFi and 5GWiFi can be turned on and off, and their names and passwords can be modified. After successful modification, the router needs to be reconnected before use.

The signal strength of the router is divided into pregnant mode, balanced mode and through wall mode. In addition, this router also provides the function of visitor mode.

In the terminal control, we can clearly see the currently connected terminals, and set speed limits for their downloading and uploading, or simply disable them on the network.

In the router management interface, we can modify the management password of the router, control the switch of the router light, and restart the router, restore factory settings, or upgrade online.

In addition to being used as an ordinary router function, it can also be used as a wireless repeater. In an environment with WiFi, only power on the router. After connecting the router, we will automatically pop up a dialog window, prompting that the WAN port is not plugged in. Select "Wireless Relay" for the next configuration.

After being used as a wireless relay, the router will automatically search the surrounding WiFi signals and display them at the bottom of the page.

Select the wireless signal to be relayed and enter the wireless password to relay the wireless WiFi.

On the "Internet Settings" page, you can change and adjust the relay WiFi at any time.

This router can also be remotely managed through mobile phones. Scan the QR code on the instructions, or download the "Alibaba Smart" APP in major application markets. The main interface of APP is divided into four sections: device, discovery, message and mall.

It is found that there are many recipe recommendations and introductions in the channel, and you can also view and manage personal health information. In the virtual device experience, you can have a virtual experience of smart appliances such as air purifiers, air conditioners, etc., or experience articles about smart devices published by other experts.

In the message bar, you can view some activities held by the current community. In the mall, there are many smart appliances for reference. Friends who like them can buy them as needed.

When using for the first time, click the+sign on the top right corner of the APP in the device bar to add an intelligent device. The APP will automatically search for intelligent devices in the current network and bind them according to the prompts.

After successful binding, you can see this router on the main interface of the APP. Click to view the currently connected devices, set the security of the router, and modify and adjust many common functions in the toolbox.

In the setting, you can set the parameters, management password, upgrade, restart, and factory recovery of the router. The signal strength is divided into three levels: sleep, standard, and through the wall. In addition, you can optimize the current network environment with one key and test the current network speed.

For devices connected to the current network, the maximum network speed can be increased by increasing the speed of the device so that a terminal can enjoy exclusive bandwidth. We can also regularly operate the time when WiFi is turned on and off. Friends with children at home can use this function to control the time when children surf the Internet. The function of the anti rub network is also relatively perfect. When a strange device is connected, it will automatically push a reminder to the mobile phone, so as to master the use of the router at the first time. In addition, this router also has the function of intercepting web advertisements, which can prevent us from being disturbed by advertisements when browsing web pages.

At the same time, this router has specially set the visitor mode for visiting relatives and friends. When your friends or relatives visit, click the visitor mode, and the router will automatically generate a special WiFi. The WiFi will be effective within 2 minutes (120 seconds). After they are connected, they can start to surf the Internet. The automatically generated WiFi will be automatically hidden after 2 minutes, and connected users can continue to use it, so that visiting friends and relatives can easily connect to your home wireless. In addition, it can also generate a special home private network, and the private password can only be used on one device. However, I feel that this function has no practical use.

In terms of signal strength, we tested it when the through wall mode was turned on. When in the same room as the router, the signal strength is the strongest, always in the state of - 40dBm burst. In the access point list, we read that the current signal strength is - 26dBm.

The test is conducted again after a wall is separated. At this time, the signal strength decreases slightly. The value seen on the instrument is about - 50dBm, and the actual reading is - 41dBm.

After passing through two walls, the signal strength has a large attenuation, and the performance of the instrument and reading is relatively consistent, about - 80dBm.

From this point of view, this router is more than enough for home use. I believe that most home routers will be installed in the living room. In this way, when radiating from the living room, the signal strength of the bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, etc. is basically guaranteed when a wall is separated. However, the remote balcony may not receive good signals.

Summary

Router, as a necessary product for families, is used every day. This Bing Lian AC1200 can provide 2.4G and 5G frequency bands, which can meet most of the needs of daily use. Its shape is also very exquisite. The four rear LAN ports are more than enough for ordinary families. The strong cooperation with Alibaba Smart will enrich the application scenarios of smart home, and there will be broad development space in the future. The price of 129 yuan is also very competitive. I believe that such a router will surely go into thousands of households. Well, I will introduce this router to you here. Goodbye!
