Although for ordinary home users, traditional or even several tens of yuans of routing products can basically meet the daily basic Internet access requirements, but such product network transmission and receiving performance and signal performance are difficult to meet the increasing network needs of home users. , And the recent three major operators to speed up the process of speeding up broadband, 100Mbps and more than 100 million broadband is becoming more and more popular, the router has also put forward more tests, only Gigabit router can make 100M broadband to play its true speed. Today, we introduce to you two gigabit routers with a price of 249 yuan: Glory Router 2 and Xiaomi Router 3G. How about the use of these two routes? Lets come look.
1. Packaging and Design
From the packaging we can see that the volume difference between these two routes is very large, Glory Routing 2 is a cube, and millet router 3G is a traditional routing style, a very thin rectangular design. In this regard, it is definitely a beholder and the style is different.
Both routes are in white style. Unlike regular routers, the multi-antenna shape of the Octopus is the same. Glory Routing 2 inherits the built-in antenna design. The classic “cube†shape resembles a decoration. Glory Route 2 has only one "honor" logo above it. There is no other label, and there is a classic "hi" key on the front.
Speaking of our common traditional routers, the classical appearance is a flat body plus several antennas, and then the back is full of ports, and the design of the millet router 3G is basically the same.
2. Features contrast
(1) Network configuration
In terms of network configuration, the settings of these two routes are relatively simple, but they are a lot of peace of mind compared to previous years. They are fools and generally completed in 3 steps. This aspect is generally set when you just use this router. Later, unless you change the password, it is rarely used. Both phones support PC and mobile phone settings. Relatively speaking, setting up with a mobile phone is more convenient. However, if you use more home products, you can download Huawei Smart Home App, which is very easy to manage.
(2) blind insertion of network port
Glory routing 2 and millet routing 3G are all designed with three network ports. Careful friends may find that the back of Glory Routing 2 does not label WAN port and LAN port. In fact, Glory Routing 2 adopts the blind plug-in technology of the network port, eliminating the distinction between the WAN port and the LAN port. It is not necessary to distinguish the type of the network port during installation, which is convenient. We also let the female friends around us do the experience, for the allocation of basic votes to glory routing 2.
(3) Dual-band Wi-Fi and 5G optimization
Both glory routing 2 and millet routing 3G also support dual-band. 5GHz as a high-frequency transmission signal, anti-interference ability, good signal transmission characteristics to make up for the lack of 2.4GHz frequency band. However, 5GHz has a fatal flaw, that is poor penetration. Walls, doors, and more complex environments will severely reduce the signal transmission efficiency at 5GHz.
But the general dual-frequency will face a problem, the router will generally establish two hotspots according to two frequency bands. The polar route and millet route 3G used by the author at home are just like this. So most people's approach is that, usually in the living room (if routed in the living room), the connection is 5G WiFi, when you go to the bathroom or bedroom, you need to manually switch to the 2.4GHz band. Instead of frequent replacements between 2.4GHz and 5GHz, I would rather use the dual-band routing as a single-frequency routing instead of trying to trade in. This is the problem of low 5GHz signal utilization. In this way, when connecting to WiFi, only the 2.4Ghz frequency band is connected, causing problems such as network congestion and even stalling.
However, this glory routing 2 is really good, it supports dual frequency, dual frequency optimization. That is to say, when the 2.4G and 5.G dual-band are in the same network state, the router will automatically switch to a better frequency band for the user. After being far away or two walls apart, the router can automatically connect you to 2.4G, to ensure that your signal is still very good.
Although millet router 3G also advertises its dual-band optimization function, it does not recommend this function itself. There is no default for the user to enable the dual-band optimization function, and Glory Routing 2 is the dual-band optimization function. The reason is that Glory Routing 2 is based on the technical foundation of Huawei's communications strength and supports 802.11v, enabling 100-millisecond carrier-grade switching.
For the network access design, Glory Routing 2 has a unique dual-network dual-pass function, and a router can access two different broadband. This feature can be widely used by teachers, students, co-tenant youth, or groups that require a high level of home networking (such as professional downloaders).
3. Performance experience
We need to be clear about the concept of 100 megabits of routing, which means that we can transmit 100 MB of data per second, and the performance of Gigabit routing is 1000 MB/sec. In other words, home use 100Mbps broadband, 100Mbps routers can not fully play the full potential of broadband, and dual Gigabit routing such as glory routing 2 can play 100Mbps broadband speed. Dual Gigabit means that not only the network port supports Gigabit transmission, but even Wi-Fi signals also support Gigabit transmission. The selling points of Glory Routing 2 and Xiaomi Routing 3G are also dual Gigabit network transmissions. So who is faster for these two routes?
(1) High quality WiFi, enjoy the network
If it is faster than it is, should it be better to compare the signals of the two products? After all, when we use it normally, the signal quality is very important to us. Therefore, I did a test comparison by using the "wifi analyzer" software.
Here we must first explain that the unit of measurement of Wi-Fi signal strength is dBm. The smaller the dBm value, the better the signal strength. Under normal circumstances, 60dBm to 80dBm can meet the basic Internet browsing and online music use. The author tested the mobile phone's Wi-Fi analyzer APP.
1 The author used 3m, 5m, 10m to test the strength of three routers for comparison. The data obtained through the wifi analyzer is as follows:
2 In case of penetrating 2 walls:
It can be seen clearly from the wifi analyzer data that in terms of accessibility signals, Glory Route 2 outperforms millet router 3G; in terms of penetration, Glory Route 2 is also slightly better. However, from the author's test can also be seen, Glory routing 2 and millet router 3G in the daily use are possible, the overall performance is good.
(2) Instant speed test
The author placed these two routes in the same position, and then I selected two fixed positions for speed measurement. The results showed that: Glory Routing 2 instantaneous speed reached 8.29MB / S, the average speed of 6.81MB / S; and millet routing 3G instantaneous speed of only 4.62MB / S, the average speed of 4.29MB / S. Whether it is instantaneous speed or average speed glory routing 2 is better than millet router 3G.
4. Summary
For homes or small offices, routing products that are too expensive are not required. However, it is necessary to shop around. Selecting a router that is easy to use at the same price point naturally causes problems that we need to consider. Usually, route purchase can be considered from aspects such as appearance, function, speed, and ability to pass through the wall.
In the traditional and simple user mind, millet routing 3G is a good choice; children's shoes that are in need of performance and network may prefer glory routing 2, each with its own needs and each has its own selling point. If it is you, who would you choose?
