preface

In the past two years, the trend of routers is to become larger and larger. In particular, routers with external antennas have changed from one antenna to two, three, and four. Many people think that the more antennas, the better the signal will be. Personally, I think that's just what everyone thinks. In fact, the existing router has a very good hidden antenna design signal, It is not only beautiful but also small in size. Bihoo Smart Router is one of them. The router designed by Bihoo has been used by the author. Today, the author was lucky to get the smallest router in the family of Bihoo Smart Routers. It is the latest product "Bihoo Routing MINI" to meet the needs of home users. With surprise and curiosity, Now let's experience this product with the writer.

Unpacking

Bihoo Routing MINI still maintains its consistent packaging style. The white packaging box, the tiger logo moved from the side to the front, and the gold element was removed. The back of the box is still some basic information about the router. Scan the QR code on the back to follow the WeChat public account. You can download the app of Bihoo Smart Router and view the tutorial.

In terms of accessories, Bihoo Routing MINI and the packaging box are as simple as they are. In addition to the router, there is only a manual and a power cord. As for the network cables, it seems that the current routers will not be attached. It is worth noting that the power cord equipped by Bihoo Routing MINI is integrated and non detachable, and the output power is 5V-1A, The author thinks that if the USB adapter can be powered by mobile power, it will be very powerful.

Bihoo Routing MINI can be said to be the smallest router among the routers released by Bihoo at present, because its size is 88.9mmX88.9mmX28.5mm. In terms of appearance, this time, it does not use a round shape, but a square small box shape. Because it is a home operation router, Bihoo Routing MINI uses 128M large memory and MTK MT7628N processor this time.

In terms of materials, Bihoo Routing MINI uses German Bayer PC materials, weighing only 125.4 grams. In addition, we can see that Bihoo Routing MINI has been carefully polished at the corners. When you get Bihoo Routing MINI, you will feel that it is not only very light, but also has a very good touch.

The Radium Sculpture Breathing Light is red and blue. It indicates the different states of the router through the color of the light. When it is red, it is starting up. When it is blue, it indicates normal operation. When the red and blue lights flicker alternately, it indicates that the Internet is unavailable. Users who have used the Bihoo intelligent router are familiar with it.

Bihoo Routing MINI has designed Rest key, two LAN interfaces, one WAN interface, and one Power interface from the side of the body. It can be said that it is a common interface configuration in routers used in families. Although people prefer the way of connecting wireless WIFI devices, Some devices without wireless connection function can still work with these two LAN interfaces.

The bottom of Bihoo Routing MINI is equipped with anti slip rubber pads at the corners to increase its stability when placed on the desktop. The text messages on the back are the management address and initial default password information of the router. The bottom of Bihoo Routing MINI still retains a unique design. Bihoo router family products all have such functions, It is designed with Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet, which can be adsorbed in places with iron products, just like gecko. I believe you will know why it is called Bihu intelligent router.

PC

After the router is connected, you can use the computer to set it. Because the author's home is an optical fiber automatic dial-up network, when the first time you use it, when the blue light is on, the computer browser will automatically pop up the setting interface. There is no need to manually enter the management address to set the router. The system will automatically detect your Internet access mode. The author uses optical fiber dynamic IP, So you can go to the next step without setting.

After the network type is set, the wireless WiFi network can be set. The Bihoo intelligent router supports the signal mode setting on the computer end. Users can choose the signal mode according to their own home conditions. After the setting is successful, an APP QR code will pop up on the interface. It is recommended that you download this APP. After all, many settings are on the APP.

Although the functions of the setting interface on the computer end are few after all, some simple settings can be made, such as login password, network cable and network settings, and Internet settings. Entering the setting interface on the computer end is to enter in the address bar of the browser: bhuwifi.com， The default password is admin, but you can enter 192.168.62.1 to enter the management interface.

APP

It is relatively simple to download the app of Bihoo Smart Router. You can scan the QR code on the package box or instructions. Of course, you can also search and download directly in the application market. After the router is correctly connected, open the app to log in directly if there is an account. If there is no account, register a login. Then you can fill in your personal information and find the WiFi created by the router, At this time, the WiFi does not have a password and cannot access the Internet after being connected. Then you need to set up the router network.

The system will automatically detect your Internet access mode. The author uses fiber dynamic IP, so you can go to the next step without setting. The Internet access method is the same as we usually do. At present, it is divided into broadband Internet access. You need to enter a broadband account and password. The dynamic IP is optical fiber auto dial Internet access, while the static IP is slightly more troublesome. You need to enter IP address, gateway, and subnet code. Users can set them according to their own network type.

During the first use, there is a process of upgrading hardware, which takes about 5 minutes. This requires patience.

In the APP, you can set the speed limit, exclusion and blackout of the mobile phones connected to the router. In addition, although the router plug-in functions are not as many as those of the enterprise level, the mainstream functions, such as setting the working mode of the router, the type of Internet access, and signal conditioning, are still retained.

The mainstream functions of the router, such as network optimization, router speed measurement, and network speed limit, are supported in the Bihoo router app. Of course, the author's favorite functions are the router's timed start, WiFi timed switch, and terminal online notification. By setting the time to switch the router, there is still a lot of power left at home.

Finally, what the author wants to say is that the Bihoo router can make money, which seems to be a popular feature now. If your home is near the business circle or your business place uses the Bihoo intelligent router, it can also increase a lot of income through users' rewards. We can set up more distinctive slogans and advertising template pictures in the APP to increase the willingness of visitors to reward red packets, It depends on the individual. If you think that visitors account for your router's network speed, you can set a limited network speed for visitors to use.

summary

Through the experience of this period, I may have been using this brand of router all the time. Anyway, I like this Bihoo Routing MINI very much, because when I used the first generation of Bihoo intelligent router, I proposed a smaller router with the official.
