Depth evaluation: will join AC1200U dual-band Gigabit router to start trial

Speaking of routers, we must think of so few keywords: dropped calls, wall-passing, security, etc., and my main concern is the problem of disconnected networking. A good router is not just a fashion design. Beautiful, more importantly, speed! At present, home-use computers, mobile phones, tablets, televisions, smart home appliances and other Internet-enabled terminal devices are used at the same time, and single-frequency wireless routers are also unbearable. I will now talk about my latest use of a must-link AC1200U wireless router, dual-band concurrent mode, wireless speed up to 1200Mbps! Can meet the needs of modern home use.

First, will be associated AC1200U wireless router appearance experience

Open the package and you can see the true body of the AC1200U. It's a bit like the taste of a sports car. At first glance, there are still some Transformers.

A photo of a family portrait, a main body router, a power cord, an instruction sheet, and a cable for gifting. Here you have to spitting and the cable is too short. Can you send a longer cable? .

Take a photo on the back.

On the back of a 10/100M adaptive WAN port, 4 10/100M adaptive LAN port and a power switch, this I want to spit, there is no USB interface, now the standard router has a USB interface.

There is a large area of â€‹â€‹cooling holes at the bottom, which allows the heat inside the body to quickly spread out. The login name and user name and password of the router are written on the back nameplate.

Second, will be linked to AC1200U wireless router setting experience Enter the management password: admin, click OK, you can enter the router control interface.

The first step: choose the way to access the Internet

Step 2: Set Wireless Network Name and Password

When the user uses the AC1200U for the first time, the entire setup process has only gone through 3 steps and can be connected to the Internet. The wireless router is no longer required!
The terminal control can limit the upload or download speed to the designated device, and can also disable the unfamiliar device by one button, and reject strangers from surfing the Internet.

It must be connected to the AC1200U router. Here you can change the administrator password, set the route indicator switch, and you can also restart the router, restore the factory settings, and so on.

However, to spitting is not a lot of features in the computer management interface, there are only some commonly used features, many other extensions are not, which is really not enough for me this kind of player, ah, the function of the upgrade ah.

Third, will be linked to AC1200U wireless router APP application experience AC1200U Wireless Router The phone scans the QR code on the box - Download - Install - Open. Basically, all the configuration apps on the computer are used.

QoS smart speed limit, signal adjustment mode, view the Internet trajectory, broadband speed, traffic analysis and more.

If you want to modify your home wireless password, restart the router, turn on the guest mode password-free Internet access, or set the WiFi timed on/off, these can be found in the Alliance Cloud APP. For me this kind of lazy cancer is very practical.

Here I want to introduce two functions that I like better: independent management of networked devices and WiFi time switch function.

Fourth, will be linked AC1200U wireless signal measurement

Here we will actually test the wireless signal strength of Bianlian AC1200U, and test the AC1200U's wireless coverage, signal strength and through-the-wall capability through professional wireless signal testing software, WirelessMon, and WIFI analyzer mobile phone APP. There are wireless hotspots around the test environment.

Field test scenario diagram:

Point A is the router placement point, point B is the first test point, and point A is 25 M. It is barrier-free. Point C is the second test point, 35 meters from point A, with a wall in the middle. Point D is the third test point, with two walls in between.

B-point test result: wireless signal strength is 100%

C: Test result: wireless signal strength is 96%

D-point test result: wireless signal strength is 88%

Wireless signal conditions around, WIFI analyzer test results shown in Figure:

Using wifi analyzer, you can test the signal stability of the Bianlian AC1200U wireless router. Tests have shown that although the signal strength is different at different locations, the signal strength is fairly stable. And, by contrasting with the signal strength of other nearby routers, the signal is stronger.

to sum up:

Inadequacies: The router interface does not have a USB interface and cannot connect to a mobile hard disk to build a private cloud and back up and access photos, videos, and other files at any time. In addition, the function of the computer-side management interface is too little, and it is not enough for me as a player. The function needs to be improved.

Advantages: The installation setup is relatively simple, the mobile phone APP function is still more practical, and the signal coverage has been tested well.
