Since the birth of routers in the 1980s, it has been more than 30 years. Router is the bridge between different networks and the main equipment to connect the Internet. Wide area networks (WANs) and local area networks (LANs) of all sizes in the Internet are connected together through a variety of routers, forming a huge Internet structure around the world today. As the hub of interconnection between different networks, the processing speed of routers is one of the main bottlenecks of network communication. Its stability and reliability directly affect the quality of communication between networks.

With the wide application of broadband technology and mobile Internet, small household wireless routers have also entered thousands of households, making the Internet system more and more huge, which also puts forward new requirements for the performance of routers. The protagonist of this evaluation is the Motorola M2 produced by MOTO, the leader of global electronic communication.

The wireless router has built-in virtual dialing software, which can store the user name and password to automatically dial the Internet. The home network can always be online without manually dialing or using a computer as a server. In addition, the wireless router also has a relatively complete security protection function, which can establish a firewall between the home network and the Internet. Therefore, with the popularity of smart phones, wireless routers have spread all over families, hotels, airports, shopping malls and other public places.

As we know, there are many factors that affect the signal of a wireless router. The working frequency, transmission power, wireless rate, etc. of the wireless router, as well as the mutual interference between different wireless products in the same area. Therefore, MOTO has introduced an M2 wireless router that can intelligently allocate the network speed and achieve high-speed Internet access at a dual band wireless speed of up to 1700Mbps.

Mobile M2 adopts 256QAM new generation modulation technology to ensure dual band wireless speed up to 1700Mbps. The dual core processor is adopted, which enables both wired and wireless connections to achieve a speed of more than gigabit. At the same time, four independent high-precision power amplifier modules and six external fixed antennas make the wireless signal stronger and more stable.

The simple appearance and beautiful appearance also add a lot of points to MobileRoute M2. The package box of M-route M2 includes the main body of M-route M2, DC12V 1.5A adapter and a twisted pair for connecting the optical cat.

Moliu M2 is mainly white, giving a mature, stable and capable impression from a visual perspective. The grid pattern on the surface of the fuselage reveals a sense of low-key luxury.

The angle of the six fixed antennas can be adjusted within a certain range according to your needs. The M-shaped LOGO has to be said to be very friendly. After all, we have used Motorola functional phones for so many years.

Mobile M2 provides four LAN interfaces and one WAN interface. A small round hole on the right of the four LAN interfaces is the router reset button, which can only be inserted with a needle.

The blue WAN interface is easy to recognize. The left side of the blue WAN interface is the DC power adapter interface. The upper edge of the router is a heat sink.

The bottom of the router is arched to ensure that the heat dissipation holes at the bottom and side wings are unobstructed.

The bottom is printed with the specific MAC address and SSID name of M2 and the web management IP address, which are used to set the router.

How to set and use the motorway from M2? First, we need to connect the DC adapter and network cable with the motorcycle route and connect them to the power supply and optical cat.

Mobile Route M2 provides two management modes: mobile phone and computer. Since this is the era of mobile Internet, it may be more convenient to use smart phones to set and manage routers. As shown in the figure, when the device is just connected, there is no network. You can use your mobile phone to connect to the default wireless network of MobileRoute M2 through the wireless network. This wireless network has no password. After connecting, you can enter the dial-up setting interface of MobileRoute M2 to set the network.

You can view the management interface after setting the wireless network of M-route M2 according to your own needs. Various local settings and local management of Mobile Route M2 can be achieved through mobile phone apps, and remote management of Mobile Route M2 can also be achieved by registering a MOTO account.

Of course, you can also use a computer browser in the traditional way to conduct more detailed management on the mobile router M2. Directly enter 192.168.51.1 in the address bar.

After entering the administrator password to log in to the management interface, you can manage the end user intuitively. As shown in the figure below, the author's computer and mobile phone are connected to the two signal frequency bands of M-route M2.

The end user status interface for logging in to the network is simple and accurate, abandoning some complicated and redundant submenus of traditional wireless routers, and merging all operations into one interface.

The security settings of M-route M2 and the DHCP device management are integrated in the "More" menu, which can be customized according to your actual needs.

The firmware upgrade of M-route M2 provides two ways: online upgrade and local upgrade. I directly use online upgrade. After all, broadband is popular now, and home network speeds are generally fast. Online upgrade is very convenient.

In terms of intelligent flow control, the network speed measured by computers in the 2.4G band seems to be higher than that measured by mobile phones in the 5G band, but generally fluctuates in a small range.

In addition, I also tested the signal strength at different distances, including 3 meters, 5 meters, 10 meters, 20 meters and partition wall signals. The signal strength at 3 meters and 5 meters was full. 10 meters because it has already stood outside the house, and the partition wall, at different partition wall angles, the signal attenuation is 1 to 2 grids. The distance of 20 meters is when you stand in the open space downstairs, and you can receive two signals near the window, but there is no signal at the dead corner standing in the corridor.

In general, the signal strength of M-route M2 is very stable indoors, and the network speed is also stable in a high range. In the outdoor environment, the network signal of M-route M2 can also be received under certain angle and distance conditions, and it is also feasible to rub a network for the on-board intelligent equipment. The heat dissipation of the motorcycle is stable when M2 is working, but the DC power adapter used by M2 has a large heat output, which should be caused by the high power of M2. It is recommended to improve the DC power adapter.
