Part 1 | Preface

The development of science and technology is changing with each passing day. Ten years ago, the network was not popularized, but today WiFi has reached hundreds of millions of families. The router, as the terminal providing WiFi signals, also has increasingly powerful functions. Newifi， As a brand owned by Lenovo, it is also well-known. What surprises can the latest newifi product - newifi 3 bring us beyond the functions of traditional routers?

Part 2 | Appearance

Routers are now common electrical equipment in the home, so excellent appearance design is very important. Let's take a look at the appearance of the newifi 3 first.

The packaging box adopts a pure white appearance design, and its advertising language is very aggressive: wonderful for the whole family. As we all know, at present, due to the growing number of smart TV, tablet, mobile phone and other terminals that need WiFi in the home, if the performance is insufficient, the network speed will often be suddenly disconnected or very slow. The advertising slogan of newifi 3 is the wonderful performance of the whole family, which shows that newifi 3 has enough confidence in performance.

On the side of the box, there is the word newifi, and an English letter "n" is its standard LOGO.

At the bottom of the box, the main selling points of the newifi 3 are concentrated here. In addition to the common intelligent management, the seed download and application expansion are the most attractive (the old drivers here should all laugh). Of course, newifi 3 also has a killer, which we will introduce and test later.

Open the box, the pure black appearance is very attractive. On the router, there is a simple link description. You can quickly set the link in three steps. The current smart router can be set through the mobile phone's APP, which is much simpler than the previous browser settings. Novice can also quickly configure according to the prompts.

In addition to the router and charger, there are instructions+warranty card, and no other additional accessories.

If we say that the most popular color of science and technology products at present, black must be the recognized color. The newifi 3 is black and square. Compared with ordinary home routers, it has sharp edges and corners, and its appearance is more domineering. There is only an "n" logo in the middle of the front, which is simple and generous.

One of the great things about the new ifi 3 is that unlike some routers, the front row of lights is useless. The newifi 3 has only five lights, representing the on-off status, network connection, whether USB is used, 5G and 2.4G signal indicators, which are clear.

All metal materials are used, and the front has a fine frosted texture, which has both appearance and hand feel.

The perimeter of the router uses an arc design, which makes the original square appearance more sculpted. The newifi 3 is competent even as a decorative decoration in the living room or bedroom.

The interfaces are distributed at the rear of the router, with one WLAN interface, four LAN interfaces, one DC power port, and one USB interface.

Take a look at the details. Whether it is the opening or the surface treatment of metal or plastic, everything is done in a very good way. The production and processing level of the product is excellent.

The product has four built-in high gain antennas, which are rotatable, and can realize 180 ° horizontal rotation and 90 ° vertical rotation.

The antenna can realize 180 ° horizontal rotation and 90 ° vertical rotation, which can be adjusted according to your own needs.

The antenna is fully open, which is the most common router status in daily life. Compared with common routers, newifi 3's cool black body design and larger body make this router more high-end.

The bottom of the router is designed with large heat dissipation holes, which can ensure the router to run for a long time and avoid serious heating.

At the bottom, four anti slip pads are also designed to allow the router to be stably placed in more positions.

In general, the appearance design of the newifi 3 is excellent. Compared with common routers, it is more in line with the positioning of a small household appliance.

Part 3 | APP Experience

A good intelligent router needs a good APP to give full play to its effect.

In the introduction interface of newifi 3, the main video search and download functions also make the author look forward to its download ability.

The setting is very simple. You can quickly judge the network type after linking. Just input the broadband account of the operator according to the prompt, which really realizes the two-step setting of the router. Compared with the previous IE input and constantly refreshed interface, Xiaobai can also play with it.

On the main interface, you can see the real-time speed of download and upload. However, the main interface, the most attractive, is the mining function!

In fact, the principle of mining is very simple. It is to share the idle bandwidth. A few years ago, the author also killed a special mining machine on the Internet (not a router, but a special mining machine); It was hard to buy with money at that time.

However, newifi 3 itself has this function, which can be used to mine with one click. On the main page, click the newifi mining and moneymaking interface to directly enter the mining agreement interface.

With a hard disk of more than 64G attached, mining can be easily started. The author attached a 1T hard disk, which can easily realize mining.

Since it is a shared broadband, full speed mining will affect the Internet speed of other terminals. The newifi 3 can freely choose whether to limit the mining speed, which is very user-friendly.

Another thing that is more humanistic is that the ore exchange for mining adopts the Alipay withdrawal scheme, which is very humanistic.

The author is a 20M bandwidth, 1T hard disk, and about 30000+ores per day (currently 8 times the revenue); About 2.1 yuan. One of the more interesting things is that there are often activities and the income doubles. This is very interesting. You can earn money without affecting the use!

The newifi 3 not only makes money, but also has a clear and reasonable management. You can see the currently linked devices, even the device models. If you see an intruder, you can directly join the blacklist (the MAC address management scheme is very powerful). In addition, you can also directly conduct seed search and download in the APP.

The setting interface is very rich, such as blacklist, download management, and album backup.

For video download, newifi 3 provides rich video resources, which can be downloaded according to your own needs. The download tool is Thunderbolt, which can be directly downloaded to the loaded hard disk. The remote management function also allows users to manage the newifi 3 in the company, so that they can easily view the device, WiFi status and download videos.

In a word, newifi 3 is really powerful! Can make money, can manage.

Part 4 | Signal test

Since it is a router, the strength of the signal and whether it can be used by the whole family is an important performance indicator. Let's take a look at the signal performance of newifi 3.

The above figure is the basic house type drawing of the author's test room, with a floor area of about 100 square meters.

Test point A is the location of the router, while test point B is far away. There is a glass sliding door in the middle balcony. Let's take a look at point B as the actual signal performance of the farthest test point.

It can be said that the signal performance of newifi 3 far exceeded the author's expectations. It is very excellent! Not only does 2.4G signal perform smoothly, but 5G signal can perform very well! The signal strength reaches 2.4G, which is rare among many routers that the author has tested before. Although there will be occasional large fluctuations under 5G, the overall use is still very good. For many other brands of routers, the 5G signal has disappeared at test point B.

Overall, the signal performance is excellent!

Part 5 | Summary

The overall performance of newifi 3 can be said to be excellent! Not only is the design outstanding, but also its built-in mining function can make money directly, and the method is very simple.

In addition, the performance of this router for signals is perfect. During the period of use by the author, there have been no speed loss or disconnection problems, and the performance is very stable. The wider coverage really interprets the propaganda language available to the whole family.

It has no obvious shortcomings and is generally excellent. It is a powerful home intelligent route!
