Low-key and extravagant "core" Big smart router evaluation

I. Introduction

It is a great honour to be able to reach this intelligent tiger router. To better understand this product, let us first understand the relevant background sources of the product.

It is understood that BI Tiger Smart Router is a high-performance router for home and small and micro enterprises that was formally launched by Beijing Huaxin Lianchuang Technology Co., Ltd. in 2015. Huaxin Lianchuang focused on the WIFI field for 12 years and accumulated a large amount of technical experience and vendor resources.

The tiger's sucker type intelligent router made by the company has the core advantage of superior signal penetrability, covering an area of ​​up to 1949m2, which is several times higher than the performance of the same product , but this appearance value is called the "anti-day" appearance but below it Hidden with a low-key and extravagant "core" - using Qualcomm's enterprise-class chips, so that the performance directly increased by 50%, can support up to 100 terminals at the same time without losing Internet access stability, USB unlimited expansion interface, smart app management, Safe, reliable and practical, how to play when you want to play.

Appearance

After a few days of waiting, finally received the package from the courier mobile phone, open the express package, remove the protection box, get the smart router from time to time to feel it from the package's simplicity, packaging box Chilian is very good, whole body white, Both sides of the box are printed with the product logo of BI Tiger Smart Router. Simple but generous, without losing beauty.

The bottom of the box is, of course, some basic information about the product, focusing on the official WeChat QR code.

Open the package, a circular "mosquito-repellent incense box", it was Zhou Zheng's quietly lying in the middle of the box.

Take out the router. The lower layer contains the manual, power adapter, and two network cables. Place layout is decent. These two cables have different purposes, transparent crystal head cable is used to connect to external networks connected to WAN interface port and power plug, while the blue crystal head network cable is connected to the power plug and Power interface on the router, which is necessary The integrated design of the homemade PoE network used by Tiger routers means that the power head has to be given a slot. For such a small router , the volume of the power head is too large. Now everything is small, the power is so great. The patch panel really occupies the place, I hope the late merchants can improve the exchange. .

Next we come to a family portrait, in addition to the main body of the router, there were a power adapter, a power cord, a cable, a description, in addition, other parts of the body's way colors are black are used in Is a white design.

Tiger will front the intelligent router looks very smooth, the overall design of black disc shape like a "mosquito box", the process is used in Germany Bayer PC material, the entire body adopt aluminum-magnesium alloy and has been carefully polished design The center of the front face is equipped with a laser-radiation breathing lamp, giving a very novel feeling.

There will be a router interface on the side of the Bihu smart router, one of which is the Power port, which is connected to the power adapter, and the other interface is the LAN interface. The middle of the two interfaces is the router reset button.

Bihu intelligent router also has a USB interface on its side, which can be used to connect an external U disk. It can achieve the function of a small home NAS. It is a pity that this USB is 2.0, does not support USB3.0, this is also the latter should be improved The place.

The bottom of the BI Tiger smart router is a metal material, which is very helpful for heat dissipation. At the same time, the bottom is also added with a non-slip washer ring , which increases the “friction” of BI Tiger. What's more interesting is that Bing's product design will have a built- in magnet at the bottom of the router that can be attracted to the iron objects. With the surrounding environment, a small router can also play a new trick! It also just verified its "Gecko" title.

Promotional materials from the official point of view: Tiger will route is the import AL6063 magnesium alloy unibody elapsed precision forging forming precision CNC carved + + 3D machining precision polishing the surface of fine sand + + anode from oxidation; cover with imported Bayer PC injection molding material in the mold surface using injection treatment + + high-gloss UV coating, built-in dual antenna technology, plated shield wrapped navy RJ45 connector, a high density line multiplication interference shield layer, All-round protection of signal transmission speed and stability. Create one-stop PoE network technology, one line to solve all problems; plus extra Category 5 network cable, to achieve the ultimate security protection. 23 step Handmade layers of the box carefully, in general, this intelligent router whether the details of the process or the materials are worth thumbs up, you will get instant tiger will fall in love immediately Will tiger.

Bihu smart routers are so simple in appearance that they are very easy to set up. Bihu smart routers can be set up through the PC and mobile apps. Let's try it out separately.

APP settings

First of all, we connect the device to set the mobile app, download the mobile phone APP, click to enter the settings interface, enter the default password admin router settings.

After the setting is completed, the web-end router management interface is entered. The interface is beautiful and elegant, and the functions are simplified. Network speed test, terminal management, signal strength adjustment, and routing setting are used to highlight several common functions . It is convenient to set up. From the top to the bottom, you can see the traffic usage and the overall score of the Internet. The system setting interface can only complete the function of administrator password modification and firmware update.

Signal strength adjustment: What is more interesting is that the signal strength adjustment of Bihu route is reflected in the intuitive way of one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom. It is more direct than some brands' so-called "signal enhancement" or "through-wall mode." It is a particularly useful feature for families with pregnant women and children at home.

The terminal management interface is mainly used to manage the devices connected to Bihu routing independently, and can change the device's nickname. It can also restrict the speed of specific devices to prevent the high-traffic data from occupying the network and limit the speed of the mobile phones connected to the router. , check out, pull black settings.

The smart plug-in tab contains the Uplink visitor network, WiFi timing switch, U disk storage , network speed optimization, terminal online notification and proximity detection. WiFi timer switch to control the whole period of the day off WiFi network situation. UpLink's visitor network, as its name suggests, is affixed to a guest on the top of the tiger. The default visitor's SSID is BhuWiFi-visitor, which limits the speed of the visitors to 100 kb/s, which is the highest speed in the modem era. Oh!

Speed ​​optimization is actually to help you select the best channel in the current network environment, reduce external environmental interference, and increase the speed of the Internet. The use of shaking to achieve a new function design, prompting the message "a faster speed of the network" humorous text.

It is worth mentioning that the router is equipped with a USB interface and can access mobile storage devices (only U disk can be inserted at present), which can be used to store files, which is equivalent to providing users with more free and convenient storage space. On the PC side, Windows XP opens Explorer and directly enters bhuwifi in the address bar ( Mac OS then execute "Go to --> Connect to Server..." in the finder menu and type in the server address: smb://bhuwifi), Go in to find a "usbdisk" This is a U disk. We can directly open the mobile terminal APP APP, click smart plug-in, U disk storage, you can view the file in the U disk.

The on-line notification function of the terminal realizes the real-time monitoring of the router. When there is a location device accessing the network, the mobile phone pushes a message to prompt that a new device is added. After that, we can choose to manage this device , or remove the location device, and protect it at all times. The security of the network.

Perimeter detection is a very new thing, tried a lot of intelligent router, this is the first time run into this thing, through which can be found next to the Pharaoh phone model, there near the device will try to connect what brand of Tiger WiFi network You can also discover the economic level of people around you through the "living environment."

PC setup articles:

Enter the computer's settings interface is entered in the browser's address bar: bhuwifi.com, the default password is admin, but enter 192.168.62.1 can also enter the management interface. Although the setting of the interface function on the computer end is less, after all, it is still possible to carry out some simple settings, such as login password, network cable network settings, Internet settings

Signal strength summary:

For the signal aspect, we compared the actual test of the wifi analyzer. Compared with other routes in the surrounding, the signal still performed quite well . We have to say that the tiger's route only depends on the built-in antenna, and its 1949 square meters of unobstructed signal coverage It is not groundless. It is still based on the fact that it is more than adequate for general family use.

Advantages: good signal, much stronger than tp, 2 bedroom no dead ends

Cons: no iron magnet chassis where smoking is not on, there is a 5G frequency transmission rates for care of a friend who may be disappointed, the tiger will only support 2.4G single frequency, intended to enhance the scope of its coverage of the wireless signal. Also, the current official firmware contains too few feature plug-ins and does not support wireless relaying (if required, the firmware of the engineer needs to be scanned).

Summary: As a conscience product, there are even more functions available on the app.
