At present, most people have at least one mobile phone. Many people have tablets, laptops and other devices. They have more or less smart TVs and network boxes at home. All these devices need wireless wifi. Routers are now very popular equipment, and the price gap is also very large. Although it is said that every penny counts, expensive routers have the advantage of being expensive. But not everyone needs expensive routers. According to their own use, select a stable router with strong wall penetration ability, which can basically meet the use requirements of many people. This time, the author experienced Moto Mobile Routing M1, a router from Motorola. Although it only supports 2.4G frequency band, it performs well in wall penetration capability and stability. The signal is much better than many routers at the same price. Even in the most corner of the house, you can still receive stable signals, which is quite good.
The package of Moto Moto Route M1 is slightly thin, but there is a layer of bracket protection inside, so the overall protection performance is fairly good. The front side of the package is a solid figure of Moto Moto Route M1. The top left corner is the classic Moto Logo.
On the back is the introduction of Moto Moto Route M1, which looks very good. On the right is the most suitable location for Moto Moto Route M1. Of course, it needs to be placed according to each user's house type. At the lower right corner is the download QR code of the management APP of Moto Mobile Route M1.
The family photo of Moto Moto Route M1 includes one Moto Moto Route M1, one power adapter and one instruction manual. It's a pity that they didn't match an Internet cable.
The output voltage and current of the power adapter is 12V/1A. Interestingly, the power adapter is directly printed with very clear SN and barcode.
The content of the instruction manual is illustrated, but it is relatively simple.
Moto Mo Route M1 is available in black, white, gold and blue. The author has experienced the classic white. Moto motorcycle route M1 adopts plastic shell. The shell is treated by laser spray process, and the diamond grid pattern on the surface is finished, making Moto Moto Route M1 look simple and not simple as a whole. In the middle is the logo of moto. Four 5dBi omnidirectional antennas are installed outside the fuselage, which are located at the left and right sides and the tail of the fuselage respectively. The 4X4 supports the MIMO structure, supports the TX beamforming technology, and four independent high-precision power amplifier chips are built in, so that each antenna can fully exert its strength. This is the real four antennas, rather than some that seem to have many antennas, but only one or two of them are effective.
Moto Mobile Route M1 is designed with one 10/100M adaptive WAN interface, four 10/100M adaptive LAN interfaces, and a Reset jack. Four LAN ports are enough. Now many routers have only two LAN ports, which is not enough. There are many devices to connect to the network cable at home.
Moto Mo has a super large cooling window on the back of M1, which can effectively discharge the heat generated by the router studio quickly to maintain the stability of the router. On the top of the back, there is a nameplate of Moto Moto Route M1, which is printed with important information such as management address, MAC address, SSID, etc.
After the Moto Moto is powered on by M1, there is only an indicator light below the middle Moto Logo, which is very simple and clear. After the Moto Moto is powered on, it starts to flash. When all the wires are connected, and the connection is stable, the indicator light will always be on.
Moto Mobile Route M1 can be managed through PC browser, mobile browser and APP. Of course, the simplest is APP management. First, open the APP to register an account. Although the author has an account in the Moto community, it has nothing to do with Moto Routing M1. In fact, these can be related. After registration, the mobile phone is directly connected to the wifi of Moto Mobile Route M1, usually MOWIFI_XXXX. After the connection, the user will be allowed to select the Internet access mode, set the wifi password, and set the administrator password. Because the author has put a route in the multimedia box at home, and then the living room and bedroom are divided into one line, it can only be regarded as a secondary route. Naturally, the Internet access method of automatically obtaining IP addresses is adopted, and there is no need to set it. Just set the wifi password, and then the management password is OK. After saving it, the router is restarted, and then connected to the Internet.
When you enter the APP again, you can see that the middle of the icons of the router and the internet above is checked, which means that you can access the internet. If you cross, it means that the network is not connected, and the network cable may not be connected or set up properly. At present, the author is only applicable to mobile phone connection, so you can see my device in the online device. My mobile phone is Moto Z, so it's also right to display Lenovo's icon. Of course, it's better to display Moto's icon. Click in to see the details of the device. You can see the device name, IP address, MAC address, and set the online time period.
There are also many functions in the settings. If you change the Internet access mode, you need to change the network settings. If you want to change the wifi name and password, you need to change them in the wireless settings, and you can also turn off wifi. What surprised the author was that there was a visitor network, which was closed by default and needed to be opened again, but the author did not need it at present.
Intelligent flow control is mainly a QoS function, but the function setting is relatively simple, which saves some people who are not familiar with it from being confused, and provides some intuitive preset options. This is very good. QoS intelligent allocation is adjusted according to the broadband status of the external network. The APP provides automatic testing and manual modification schemes. The author has tested it with automatic testing, and the results are still inaccurate. Of course, as a secondary router, it will be affected more or less. In addition, some of the devices in my home are connected to the Internet. Therefore, the author needs to manually correct.
Through the wifi signal analyzer, the author found that in the most corner of the home, the Moto Mo route M1 signal is very good, and the other blue one is the network device R7800 in the same location. This performance of Moto Mo Route M1 is really unexpected. A good signal means that the download speed is the key. Whether it is software games or online videos, it is actually related to the download speed. The author downloaded a video randomly with Xunlei, and it was completed in a few seconds. The fastest speed was 5.1MB/S, which was quite good.
Watching online video is also an important function of my mobile phone, so I also experienced it. The overall playback is smooth, and the timeline switching is not stuck. I am satisfied.
Although many people will be disgusted because Moto Mo route M1 does not have 5G wifi, after all, 5G wifi is still common now, but the weakness of 5G wifi is relatively obvious, that is, it is weak through the wall. To be honest, because 5G and 2.4G are the same password in my home, the connection is not fixed. Sometimes 5G and sometimes 2.4G are used as a whole, but there is no difference. However, the wall penetration ability of 2.4G is much better than that of 5G. In the author's bedroom, 2.4G is at least 10% better than 5G, and even worse than 5G. Moreover, the overall signal performance of Moto Mo router M1 is much better than many routers that the author has used before, which is the most satisfactory. However, there are relatively few peripheral functions, such as wireless relay, which is a very practical function, and some more detailed designs have not been found. These authors hope to enrich and improve them in the future. It can even launch simple mode and advanced mode for users with different needs. The author looks forward to Moto introducing more powerful routers in the future.
