preface

The home level routing market is becoming increasingly fierce. After three urban operation level routes (Bihoo Routing 1, Bihoo Routing Plus, and Bihoo Routing 2), Bihoo Technology finally set foot in the home field and released its fourth civilian router, the first home operation level router, Bihoo Routing mini. Bihoo focuses on sharing WiFi. The best example of sharing economy is Didi Chuxing, which has really changed our lifestyle. The two major brands of bike sharing, Mobike and ofo bike sharing, have also blossomed in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. How will Bihoo focus on sharing WiFi change our lives? I think I will find the answer in this article.

Unpacking

Bihoo Routing Mini has changed the huge packaging boxes of the previous two generations. Due to the lower price, the packaging has become more user-friendly. The simple carton packaging is very small.

The overall package includes a Bihoo router mini host, a power adapter, and a quick installation guide.

appearance

Bihoo Routing Mini is the first Bihoo family to adopt the appearance design of rounded rectangle. The indicator light in the middle is also consistent with the fuselage contour, which is rounded rectangle. The shell is made of German Bayer PC, which feels very warm and shiny in the sun. It is very textured, like an ancient jade.

There are 4 rubber pads at the bottom of the fuselage to protect Bihoo from being placed on the desktop and other places.

The machine body has one power interface, one WAN interface and two LAN interfaces.

The machine body is very small, and it may not be very intuitive when looking at the picture. Compared with a package of ordinary paper towels, it is a circle larger than paper towels, and can be easily held in your hand.

Bihoo Routing mini will return the POE network electricity integrated interface of urban operation level routing to the common power interface. Although it is a little pity, it is more practical for families. The adapter is also white. The logo printed by Bihoo seems to protect the WiFi in the home, which is very safe.

to configure

Although Bihoo Routing Mini is located at home operation level, it still uses the same 128M memory as Bihoo Routing 2. The experience brought by the large memory is that there is no card. The access to smart TV, TV box, multiple mobile computers, and other smart home terminals at home will not affect the smoothness of the network. After one week of actual testing, there is no periodic lack of network when multiple devices are connected to the home.

It is a pity that the WiFi band does not support 5G WiFi.

APP experience

For the first time, you need to download the official Bihoo WiFi APP for registration management, directly link to the default WiFi, and then start setting. In addition, it will automatically detect the current type of Internet access, which is convenient for setting. It only takes three steps to complete all the required settings for Internet access, which is very simple and user-friendly.

After the first connection is successful, a firmware upgrade reminder pops up, which shows that the daily maintenance is in order.

The APP has a wealth of common settings, such as the main network speed limit. And it's very interesting to express why the abstract network speed can't work, only chat on WeChat, see pictures, watch videos and unlimited speed, which is very fresh and interesting.

The current online devices can also be blackmailed at a limited speed and be the owner of their own WiFi.

There is also a shake to optimize the network speed. The animation is very intuitive. It is afraid of shaking people nearby. Smile Cry~

And can adjust the signal strength according to their own needs, one bedroom to three bedroom adjustable.

According to the actual measurement, under the signal strength of three bedrooms and separated by a wall, the signal can still be between 40-50dBm, and the signal performance is very good.

Share WiFi

Then the question arises. How to set up the shared WiFi unique to Bihoo? By default, the shared network is enabled. We can set the name of the shared network and reward the price in the APP. Interestingly, considering the inconsistent demand for Internet access between computers and mobile phones, the price of mobile phones and computers can be set separately.

Mobile phone rewards can be relatively cheap. Support WeChat Alipay payment by others.

Although the computer rewards will also pop up an interface that mimics the mobile phone, the price will be much higher.

Sharing is interesting. We can also see the benefits of other Bihoo users in the App. First, we really worship them. The amount is scary. So it is not difficult to buy a suite by Bihoo.

Unique adsorption function

Bihoo has always had the function of attaching to the wall. It can easily be placed on the side of the iron shell such as the refrigerator and air conditioner. It not only saves space, but also looks good. This also avoids the complicated wiring problems caused by traditional installation near the messy TV cabinets. For example, it is installed on the side of the air conditioner.

Experience summary

advantage:

1. Small appearance, Bayer PC has texture.

2. Share WiFi, realize idle broadband, and make life more interesting.

3. Iron absorption function, easy to wall.

4. The APP has beautiful interaction and is simple and easy to use.

5. 128M memory makes it easy to deal with complex home network environment.

Insufficient:

1. 5G WiFi is not supported.

2. Occasionally, the reward can be bypassed. I hope the following firmware can optimize the reward process.

On the whole, the price of 199, together with the advantages of Bihoo's own enterprise level routing, and the individual optimization of the family, the overall performance is very good. Its own jade like appearance gives you a warm home network environment and unique shared WiFi. Are you sure you don't want to try?
