Whether it is ordinary apartment or villa, for wireless routers, signal coverage is a comparison reality that must face the problem every day, and it is related to watching video, and is normal or not. The wireless relay or a wireless router that supports relay features is not just the trouble of wiring and the trouble of second transformation, but also to a certain extent well improved signal coverage and signal strength. In the current mainstream wireless router, the four-antenna with the gain is more popular, such as Xinhua San H3C Magic R2 +, which will be used in the following figure, using 2x2 mimo architecture design, and supports the IEEE 802.11AC standard, in addition to supporting wireless relays It also supports a one-button wired relay function.
One-button wired relay function is not common in other routers, its role is to eliminate the labeling tutorial and manual settings, don't need to modify IP, turn off DHCP, no matter whether it is a little white Easy to set up. So what is the role of wired relay? The router can be used as an AP or a switch, which is suitable for users who need to enlarge network signals through wired and require high network speeds, such as the transmission of large data quantity files with the front-end router, or 340 g 4K HD HD When the film is watching. After enabling a wired relay, the wireless function can be normal. You don't have to distinguish the WAN port and LAN on the access network. However, in order to ensure the normal and stability of the network, it is recommended to insert a WAN port. As can be seen from the figure, the WAN ports and LANs have no design status indicators.
The following figure is the interface behind the Ai Tai router cable relay. The management page of the Ai Tai router is 192.168.1.1, H3C Magic R2 + automatically assigned 192.168.1.105 as a management page after a wired relay, and no longer a default 192.168.124.1.
Xinhua San H3C Magic R2 + has more distinctive design, and has not used the traditional four-party design, but the angular distinct is quite three-dimensional, and the side looks more than the taste of space fort.
H3C MAGIC R2 + has been designed with four antennas, but integrated design is not used by TNC antenna interface, which is slightly inconvenient for players who like to change the line. However, four 5DBI full-to-directional gain antennas (supporting Beamforming antenna orientation techniques) can be more effective to effectively improve signal coverage and signal strength.
The central position of the frontal position is the power indicator, and does not design the indicator light in front, and does not design the M Logo of the Magic series to indicate, but I don't know if the brightness of the light is bright, whether it can be turned off. The 11 holes in the upper part of the upper part are the heat dissipation holes of the router to some extent, and the heat dissipation performance of the equipment is improved.
The following figure is the effect of the indicator light, and the green is often functioning, and the flash indicates that WiFi is sleeping; the orange lamp is often bright to indicate that the relay wireless signal is weak, and it flashes the Internet.
In addition to the frontal heat dissipation hole, the H3C MAGIC R2 + bottom is also designed with a large amount of heat dissipation holes, which occupies a large area of the bottom, which can achieve rapid and effective heat through the surface and the bottom of the heat dissipation hole.
However, there are two places in the bottom of the design worthy of attention. First, the four footpins do not use silica gel or rubber pad design, but the same PC material as the body material, so it will be more general in non-slip performance; The second is the design of this wall-mounted hole, which is convenient for some users to hang the needs of the wall or other objects.
As for the part of the interface, only 1 WAN port, three LAN ports, all 10 / 100MB interface, no Gigabit interface. It also does not design a USB interface or a TF card slot, which means that the external storage device is not supported for the function of local area network sharing. For yourself like this usual, you like to pass TV box, smart TV, smartphone and computer with router access. Players in the external storage device are somewhat pity.
H3C Magic R2 + is somewhat inconvenient in dismantling, because there is no design of screws, but all is a card buckle design, which is more good, but it also makes it unknone who does not know the user. Open the interior to view the chip, especially during the dismantling, but after continuously destroying two snaps, only the dismantling can only be given up.
H3C MAGIC R2 + can be managed by a web page or a WAP version, or by management, there is no difference in function, but the web page or WAP version has two models, which makes it easy for users to manage settings. In detail on the set boot screen, you can quickly complete the settings in accordance with the boot prompt screen. There are three functions that are worthy of attention, that is, supporting a key switch WiFi, one-click to turn off indicators and one-click optimization capabilities, and quickly complete the optimization of the network and the opening and closing of the light and WiFi. H3C MAGIC R2 + is a personal miniware software platform that supports automatic allocation of network bandwidth and does not require manual switching web priority, game priority, etc., which can be used to ensure game, video, web browsing and other different modes. Thereby to improve signal stability.
The professional version of the management page is more concise, mainly divided into system monitoring, wireless settings, interface settings, online management, security zones, advanced settings, and seven categories: each category, there is also a different fine function, convenient for users. Management. Insior to system monitoring, it is possible to obtain information, system status, etc., in which compared traffic monitoring functions and self-test functions, traffic monitoring is used to view real-time monitoring of the WAN port device port transmission / reception traffic, convenient to occupy a lot Bandwidth user management. The self-test function is also possible to settle across the potion to various issues encountered in the use of routers. H3C Magic R2 + supports manual firmware upgrade and automatic firmware upgrade, automatic firmware upgrade utilizes the night time free time to upgrade, and more worry-free use.
In the wireless setting, the more useful function is that the corresponding 2.4GHz and 5GHz can be used to open the visitor WiFi. Do not have a password to be connected directly, eliminating the password to be shared to the network. Wireless relay features only support 2.4G networks, and the SSID of the 5GHz network will not be displayed. In the Internet management, parent management functions, and user access control design facilitates the management of networking devices, allowing different time periods to allow internet mode. However, some unfortunately, the APP end does not support remote control functions to some extent, which makes the effect of access control, although there is support to open remote management, it is not convenient. H3C MAGIC R2 + has an add built-in firewall that can be used to achieve anti-smashing network anti-attacking effects, effectively guarantee the safety of computers and Internet access environments. In advanced settings, there is support address conversion and UPnP capabilities, but there is no built-in flower shell, which is not a problem for users who regularly access foreign websites.
From the above function list we can also see that H3C Magic R2 + does not support the function of plug-in installation, and it is not possible for advertising.
As a 1200M Giga router that supports dual frequency, the stability of network transmission is the most critical, whether it is wired or wireless, of course, the signal intensity and coverage are also concerned. Individual is using 100MB bandwidth, first look at the theoretical value of software testing, and connect 2.4GHz, 5GHz and wired test, take the highest value. 2.4GHz can reach 9.25MB / s, 5GHz can reach 10.6Mb / s, and the wired mode can reach 11.2MB / s, which is more expected. This speed is basically not reached for 12.5Mb / s of wired. The test value of the following rate is higher than the Etai router in use.
Below with notebook T520 (1TB WD black tray) and Thunder actually download multiple files to verify the most download high speed. First use wired mode to determine the stability of resources, and then connect to WiFi for download. As can be seen from the screenshot below, the maximum speed of the actual download is slightly higher than the theoretical test data, and the wired can reach 10.73MB / s, and 2.4GHz can reach 9.7Mb / s.
In the signal strength, the four locations are selected to compare the Ai Tai router, and the Eiti is set to wear wall mode, and the H3C MAGIC R2 + has no wall mode, and the 2.4GHz and 5GHz are selected to be stronger mode. Eiti also uses four gain antennas to support dual-frequency, compared.
The UTT started in the picture below is the Ai Tai router, the H3C starts to Hua San router. For routers, no matter what gain antenna and improved signal technology, make it possible to find a signal value in different environments in your own. The signal fluctuation of Eiti is relatively large, and the signal fluctuation of the H3C MAGIC R2 + is not too large, relatively stable. At 2.4 GHz signals, H3C MAGIC R2 + is better than Eiti, which is excellent in H3C MAGIC R2 + in the wall performance. In the 5GHz signal performance, the difference is not large, and Eiti will be slightly better than H3C Magic R2 +. Overall, H3C MAGIC R2 + signal coverage is more good, and can meet the needs of home users.
However, the theoretical signal value can only be used as a reference, the actual online game or mobile game network delay is the most important. Take pesticides as an example, after 9:30 in the evening, Eiti and H3C MAGIC R2 + are connected to a game (about 20 minutes), and the screenshots are selected from the recorded video to select the highest delay in comparison.
H3C MAGIC R2 + can basically maintain at 66ms, up to 70ms; Eiti can maintain at 73ms, up to 76ms. Relatively speaking, the low delay of H3C MAGIC R2 + is better.
H3C Magic R2 + does not have a USB interface or a TF slot may be more considered for cost consideration. There is also no functionality that has not been added to the VPN or plug-in installation, although there is APP management software but is some inconvenient in remote management. However, as a more modern double-frequency router, the Miniware software platform is designed to be more concise, guided clear, automatic upgrade, wireless relay, cable relay, timing WiFi switch, parental control, light control, visitors WiFi, etc. More enrich and practical features, you can meet the needs of use under different scenarios. H3C MAGIC R2 + four high gain antenna design, matching network automatic optimization, automatic adjustment assignment, further improving the signal coverage capability of the wireless router, ensuring game, download, video, etc., also make H3C MAGIC R2 + in the 100 yuan wireless router worthwhile pay attention to.
