Now that the optical fiber network technology has become more and more mature, the broadband in the home has also changed from the 4M small water pipe of ADSL to the 50M fiber of the FTTH network. Then the ordinary router can not meet the demand of high-speed broadband - all 50M exclusive, but also Change the router.
Then I started to pay attention to smart routers. Today's routers are really diverse, ranging from single-function traditional routers to all kinds of smart routers. Finally, I fixed my eyes on the newifi mini smart router. First of all, Lenovo's workmanship and materials have always been more solid, plus Baidu and Xiaoyun joint production of technical protection, I believe it should not be worse, and it's cheap ah, as long as 99 yuan! ! ! In general, for a routing product, 100 yuan is a watershed, and this price is believed to be acceptable to ordinary consumers.
Let's take a look at the product. Ordinary kraft paper style packaging is very small, it really is enough mini.

The various types of indicators on the left side of the front panel are comprehensive, and the status of the router can be known through the indicators.
The newifi mini's waistline is very special. The design of the waistband has a substantial effect in addition to the visual aesthetic effect, which is heat dissipation. The one in the middle is actually a heat spreader.
In general, the heat-dissipation holes will affect the overall appearance more or less, but the newifi mini is well designed to avoid this.
There is also a 3-layer grille at the bottom, 4 rubber feet around the perimeter, and a tamper-evident warranty sticker on the left.

In fact, to this step, the router can work normally, of course, we chose intelligent routing, in addition to dual-band signal strength, more stable performance, there are powerful features.
What is the difference between a smart router and an ordinary router? The biggest difference is that smart routing can install applications on its own like a smartphone. Now that more and more software has launched a routing version, we can take advantage of this web portal and let it do more for us.
For example, this WEB server, as long as the application is installed on the router, the router has transformed into a PHP server, as long as the PHP website is copied to the U disk, inserted in the router, and then with the peanut shell can provide WEB service.
Of course, in addition to the simple setting interface, newifi mini also provides a powerful professional setting mode. In professional mode, users can perform more and more comprehensive function setting and implementation.
Another big feature of smart routers is that they can be controlled remotely. We can install the APP on the mobile phone. After logging in, we can manage the home router. For example, we can see whether there are any people in the home or download offline.
On the mobile phone side, it is also very convenient to manage and install the applications on the router.
At the same time, the router is also a DLNA server, which can send photos, videos, etc. on the mobile phone to the DLNA device of the access router, and the sharing of data becomes very convenient.
Simply looking at the use of the newifi mini router, what exactly does it bring to our working life? Back to the beginning of the article, why do we need a more intelligent router after enjoying high-speed bandwidth?
Play one:
Through newifi mini, we can easily do file sharing. Through samba protocol, we can share files on router USB devices. The user can directly access the USB storage device on the route on the Network Neighborhood page on the PC, or map it to a network disk through the public IP address, and change the mobile hard disk and U disk into a network hard disk (NAS) in disguised form. Large bandwidth also provides direct convenience for data exchange.
Gameplay 2:
The use of a multimedia server (miniDLNA) plug-in may be used to share USB expansion files with internal LANs. For players that support UPnP protocol Tencent video, Thunder, they can directly play video files on router USB devices.
Play three:
Thunder download offline. Through the activation code provided by the device, you can bind the route to the Thunder account. In the remote downloaded web pages, computer clients or mobile phone APPs, you can directly perform download tasks. You can even use the mobile phone to control the router to complete the movie download. After you go home, use DLNA or open the video directly in the network neighborhood.
In general, this newifi mini router is still a very good combination of the needs of both entry-level users and users willing to deeply toss, plus its wireless signal through the wall and system stability is better, even if it is good as ordinary routing. If users of Baidu SkyDrive, or users with various file download requirements, do not plan to spend more budget to purchase hard disk routing and NAS, newifi mini will be a good choice.
