With the progress of the times, the rapid development of the Internet has made wireless routers an indispensable hardware device. At the same time, consumers have put forward more and more diversified demands for wireless routers. The competition in the wireless router market is very fierce, and manufacturers are also trying to bring forth new products. According to consumer demand and price levels, they have launched a number of subdivision routing products, The relatively low price of 200 yuan is the most popular among consumers. In terms of WiFi transmission speed, there is no significant difference, but in terms of LAN WAN The vast majority of interfaces are 100M transmission rate, which causes the transmission speed of the LAN to be too slow. In addition, if the access to ultra 100M optical fiber is not enough, as the responsibility of the router itself, it must maintain a fast and stable network connection. Speaking of 360 security routing, I believe most people are not unfamiliar with it. 360, which started from anti-virus software, has become quite famous in the field of routers, The 360 security router 2 full gigabit version was launched, and four gigabit LAN ports were upgraded to achieve faster transmission performance. Next, Xiaosu slowly analyzed the sincerity of the product.
It's a great honor to have this 360 security router 2 full gigabit. First of all, thank you Love to play computer games The outer package of this router is quite simple, just a pure white box, so the packing drawing is not included. The box includes the router body, power adapter and installation guide. This power adapter is made of white baking varnish. Its surface is round and shiny, without too many fancy decorations. It has 360's logo printed on the front and introduction notes posted on the bottom. Xiaosu has used 360's security router P1 before. The appearance of the power adapter has not changed much, and the workmanship is more refined.
External mobile hard disks have gradually become the mainstream of wireless routers. During operation, the power load is heavy, and the DC power output index is 12V/1.2A. This is sufficient for storage devices such as external mobile hard disks that need to be attached to provide stable power for the normal operation of the router.
The first impression of 360 Secure Route 2's full gigabit is not too impressive. The design of traditional external antenna is still adopted in the appearance design. There is a quick setting guide on the front of the host. Of course, more information can be obtained through the description.
The whole body is made of fashionable silver and white. The body is divided into upper and lower parts. The upper layer is made of aluminum alloy, the surface is treated with fine sanding, and the lower layer is made of ordinary plastic. Due to the use of aluminum alloy, the body feels or looks very textured.
The front design is very simple. In addition to the LOGO, there is a row of indicator lights at the bottom. Although the aperture is relatively small, the brightness of the indicator lights is good. Each light independently represents the role of the internal operation status, and the blue light flashes when connecting to the network.
360 Secure Route 2 has four non detachable 6dBi antennas, which are all gigabit external. Ordinary users will not care. Compared with the 5dBi antenna, the 6dBi antenna with large gain can provide more coverage. How about the specific signal coverage? Xiaosu carried out the actual test later.
The four antennas have a 90 degree or 180 degree adjustment angle. Users can adjust the direction of the wireless antenna according to the installation location. Proper changes in the antenna directivity should improve the strength of the wireless signal. The number of antennas deeply affects consumers' purchase desire. Multiple antennas have its advantages. More antennas improve coverage and throughput.
360 Secure Route 2 fully supports Wave 2 MU-MIMO technology, improves wireless transmission rate and improves signal quality. Especially when multiple clients are served at the same time, it is obvious that there are not many four antennas. To use MIMO transmission technology, multi antenna support is required to make multi antenna play its due role.
The buttons on the back and the interface are in the left and right order: Stop USB device button × 1, USB2.0 × 1, Gigabit LAN × 4, Gigabit WAN × 1 DC power input interface × 1, Reset reset button × 1360 security routing 2 The most obvious improvement over the previous generation is that the upgrade to four gigabit LAN interfaces has brought extremely significant improvement, which is easy to meet users' needs for transmission speed and stability, and fully meet a variety of personalized application scenarios such as home theater or file sharing.
WAN and LAN ports are a place that most consumers tend to overlook. If you access multiple computers or build a home NAS, you need a high-speed and smooth network to support it. The 100 megabyte LAN port will severely limit the transmission speed of the intranet. Xiaosu City has begun to provide 200 megabyte optical fiber access, and the 100 megabyte port is obviously not enough, Therefore, network equipment equipped with gigabit ports is the first choice.
Every WAN Both LAN data ports have blue and white switching indicators. 360 Secure Route 2 has a built-in USB2.0 interface to facilitate everyone's expansion of storage functions. There is also an indicator light to stop the USB device button, which is yellow after accessing the storage device. When you want to pull out the device, you can uninstall the device by pressing it. This design is also quite interesting. More from the perspective of ease of use, Because most routers that support external hard disks need to enter the background to uninstall the device.
360 Secure Route 2 all gigabit still adheres to the design style of previous generations. Because the LAN data port adopts a multiple stack design, the back of the router is higher. The ultra-thin design around the side makes the overall look very sharp and thin. The streamlined design also maintains the overall consistency, and the appearance is free from the square and upright appearance of the traditional router.
360 Secure Route 2 full gigabit version can be said to be quite high in terms of hardware configuration. The operating memory capacity is 256MB. The processor uses Ruiyu RTL8197FB, and the main frequency reaches 1Ghz. The higher the main frequency, the faster the processing speed. High speed operation causes high heat generation problems, which requires very strong support in terms of heat dissipation. The back uses a large area of hollow heat dissipation holes, and at the same time, it works with the front aluminum alloy panel for heat dissipation, This makes the heat dissipation effect of the router more effective.
The bottom edge is rounded, and there are two plastic anti slip adhesive under it, which can effectively prevent the route from moving or sliding, and strengthen the stability of the wireless router.
Important information such as router parameters and serial number is printed in the middle. The heat sink part and the body have high processing accuracy, and there is no burr feeling when you touch it. There is a clear space between the hollowed heat sink hole and the desktop. This design also helps to heat the body, and two wall hanging holes are reserved for hanging the wireless router on the wall, Every detail has been taken into full consideration.
Log into the WEB system setting interface of the router in the browser, and provide three networking methods: broadband Internet dialing, dynamic IP Internet surfing, and static IP Internet surfing. You can set it step by step according to the page. The whole process is very simple.
Changing the WiFi password will automatically synchronize the background management password of the router. The two can be set to be the same, but Xiaosu does not recommend it to prevent others from accessing and changing the settings of the routing system. When changing the router, it is recommended that the new router use the same WiFi name and password as the old router, so that mobile phones and other devices will automatically access the new router.
The main WEB control interface is simple. You can see the current running status of the router. The home page will display the number of currently linked devices, the network connection of the router, and some basic settings. It is very friendly even for beginners.
The interface style of 360 Secure Route 2 full gigabit version is quite different from that of other router systems. The functions and settings of ordinary routes will not be shown one by one. After all, the experience article is not a manual or tutorial. Here we will select some unique and important functions that Xiaosu believes.
First, by checking who is online, all the devices connected to the router are listed in the table. Check the network working status of the devices and control them, including blackout and speed limit operations.
Wireless routers have always been ignored by manufacturers or consumers in terms of security protection. Especially at the moment when mobile payments are becoming more and more complicated, the network's own security protection coefficient must be improved. The security software on mobile phones is inadequate, obviously lagging behind the security software in computers. Router security protection has become an important means of protecting network security, One of the biggest highlights of 360 Secure Route 2 full gigabit version is the built-in security protection function, including malicious website firewall, Internet hijacking firewall, home network firewall and other key defense functions, which will automatically detect the network security status and remind users of their weaknesses, prevent network devices from real threats after intervention, and create a secure payment environment for users.
When entertaining relatives and friends at home, they are often asked about WiFi passwords. The exclusive network for friends can connect to the network without WiFi passwords. The method of opening is very simple. As long as you choose the required method in the authentication mode, you can establish an independent visitor network, which is more flexible and more adaptable to the needs of consumers.
The router provides three authorization methods. In addition to the traditional password method, there are more convenient and fast authentication methods. 360 adds the "friction authentication" function to the router, which saves input time compared with the password authentication method, and ensures security compared with the no authentication method. Connect the friction Internet WiFi signal in the mobile device, and then close the mobile phone to the route to complete the connection, This not only provides guests with a fast access method, but also does not cause security problems. The router has been physically isolated, so you do not have to worry about the surrounding users trying to access the router.
At present, the friction internet access function of visitors supports devices such as mobile tablets, laptops or Windows tablets. The internet access function is the same as the normal mode, but it will not be able to access the WEB control center and contact any device on the local area network to ensure the network security of the intranet. Don't forget to turn it off when it is not needed.
Advanced tools can usually find corresponding options under function extension. 360 provides richer extension functions for more and more extensive needs, including advanced tools such as unlimited universal relay and device monitoring, which can meet users' requirements for practicality and playability.
Users are often most concerned about the wireless signal problem. There are three levels of signal conditioning function. Different levels are for different environments, such as the third level. If the signal is not very stable in a large house environment, it is undoubtedly the most appropriate to adjust to the highest level.
The intelligent QoS function allocates bandwidth to access devices according to priority, such as the priority weight ratio of online games and downloads. The options of control functions are very rich. In particular, the parameters in the advanced settings are quite practical to avoid excessive occupation of network bandwidth. However, the configuration method of this advanced setting is not simple. In most cases, individuals tend to enable intelligent QoS.
The more complex the building structure is, the higher the demand for wireless signal strength is. If the signal of a wireless router can no longer be covered, the wireless relay can increase the coverage area of the signal. Generally, the router can only relay the 2.4G wireless network alone, and the transmission speed is not good enough. The 360 Secure Route 2 full gigabit version has built-in wireless universal relay function, It also supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz dual band wireless signals, and has excellent compatibility. In particular, supporting the relay of 5GHz is of great practical significance, allowing users to have a truly unobstructed experience.
The content on the Internet is complex. Users can monitor the device and control the network connection through the device monitoring user interface, and even view the connection IP port traffic and other information of the device, so that you can identify and disconnect the bad IP, which is a good news for parents.
In general, few people use or even understand the custom host function. In fact, we often use it in our daily life. For example, luyou.360.com, when we open the corresponding web page, we will log in to the router. In fact, the router IP is 192.168.0.1, which refers to the location of the WEB control center through the custom host, Now users can modify the host to re point to different locations. For example, after modification, opening Tencent's domain name will open the web page of the corresponding router's WEB control center. You can use hosts to shield advertisements or climb over walls, which further improves professionalism.
In terms of the function settings in the router's WEB control center, 360 Secure Route 2 full gigabit version users provide a very rich and comprehensive range of function options to facilitate other different devices to log in to the router's settings for modification. Compared with mobile phones, computers are more convenient in parameter settings and device status changes. Compared with other competitors, which mainly rely on mobile APP management, 360 is more systematic and considerate.
After 360 Secure Route 2 full gigabit version is connected to an external mobile storage device, it can become a data storage center. The system has a built-in USB management function, which is a very practical function for disk hibernation in addition to the more conventional device unloading. The WEB control center also has a shortcut for downloading mobile phone clients, and can also scan two-dimensional codes.
Many smart router manufacturers have launched mobile APP with their own products, so that users do not need to go to the PC to modify the router configuration. 360 Smart Housekeeper APP can be found on the official website or the WEB control center. The first launch page is beautiful, and introduces some features.
When using this 360 Smart Housekeeper APP for the first time, you need to access the router for binding. As long as the router remains powered on and connected to the network, even if the router is not around, you can perform relevant operations on the router in real time and remotely next time.
The appearance and layout design of 360 Smart Housekeeper APP is very general. You can view the current status of the router on the home page. At the same time, users can view official announcements and related activities. Because the "home" page contains too much content, the area allocated to the status of the router is relatively small, resulting in a rather limited appearance.
The interface is divided into four function bars. In addition to the "Family" and "Security", "Discovery" and "My" functions just introduced, users can click to enter the corresponding function page, saying that the content of "Discovery" is the latest information in the forum, so that users can get more play methods.
Enter the router status page, and you will first see all the devices connected to the router. You can set some restrictions on the corresponding devices,
The contents of the options and the WEB side are very detailed, which is convenient for managing the wireless network through the APP side, without having to spend much time to modify the corresponding settings. It is absolutely convenient for users.
The function of experiencing the use of routers is built in to obtain a comprehensive report on the use of routers, including network status security projects and optimization projects. After all, ordinary users are not familiar with the potential security risks in the use of routers. With the health check, they can ensure that the use of routers is more safe and efficient.
360 Secure Route 2 full gigabit version does a good job in security. It has a variety of firewall and filtering measures. At the same time, it provides users with corresponding effective protection measures in the level of children's online protection. Users can see the information in the connected storage device, and can also upload files in the phone to backup, However, it is not possible to view the files in the storage device, which is a basic function but does not have it. This inevitably reduces the convenience.
360 Secure Route 2 full gigabit version has four 6dBi single frequency microstrip antennas externally, with a wireless transmission rate of up to 1167Mbps. In addition, it is equipped with four gigabit LAN ports, which greatly improves the data processing capability and ensures faster transmission of large files through the intranet. Next, test the specific data transmission performance and signal coverage.
With the popularity of high-definition or 4K video, as well as the use of NAS devices, the first is to use the gigabit LAN port to test the transmission speed of the intranet. The speed of copying from NAS to the computer is about 100 MB/s. After testing, the transmission performance and stability brought by the gigabit port are excellent.
In the USB interface transmission speed test, the actual transmission speed of the mobile hard disk connected to USB 3.0 is 27MB/S. From the above speed test facts, it is not difficult to see that the difference between 100M and gigabit speeds is like a cloud and mud. The theoretical speed of 100M can only run at 12.5M/s is unbearable for Xiaosu, and even the speed of USB 2.0 can not be reached.
The signal strength of the wireless router is the most concerned by users. Next is the network signal coverage test. Through the wireless signal test software on the mobile phone end, the signal strength and wireless wall penetration capability of the full gigabit version of 360 Secure Route 2 are actually tested. The following is the floor plan of the house. Except that the external walls around the house are load-bearing walls, the rest are partition walls (18 walls), Point A is the study, with one partition about 3m away. Point A is the main bedroom, with two partitions about 8m away. Point C is the bedroom, with two partitions about 10m away. Point D is the baby bedroom, with three partitions about 12m away.
It can be seen from the above measured pictures that Xiaosu is very satisfied with the signal strength of the full gigabit version of 360 Secure Route 2. The effect is extremely good, especially the 5GHz signal. Although the signal strength is attenuated severely, the signals separated by three walls are still stable and reliable, covering a range of 200 square meters is quite easy.
The signal strength does not represent the stability of data throughput. Next, the actual test of wireless transmission speed was carried out. This time, the 5GHz band connection was used. The NAS side was connected with network cables to copy data. Even though the signal was affected to varying degrees due to the barrier of the wall, its reading speed was still so strong that it was easy to play 4K video.
As a household level intelligent wireless router, 360 Secure Route 2 full gigabit version has a very good performance in terms of hardware and software. The original three 100 gigabit LAN ports have been upgraded to four gigabit LAN ports. In contrast, the transmission efficiency has improved significantly. The full gigabit interface is quite attractive, ensuring excellent data transmission capability, In particular, consumers with high requirements for data exchange speed can fully meet the speed requirements of network storage, and are equipped with four 6dBi single frequency microstrip antennas, combined with powerful Wave 2 MU-MIMO technology, which greatly increases the signal coverage and effectively improves the stability of wireless transmission, The performance of 5GHz is amazing. It gives Xiaosu a sense of stability and reliability in the process of use. In the face of increasingly prominent security problems, 360 also provides users with corresponding solutions, showing its advantages in security protection. Compared with most smart routers on the market, this has opened up a lot of distance, and to some extent, increased the added value of routers.
