How about the route hiwifi? Polar routing real machine use evaluation

The author is a person who likes toss. He has purchased the FW300 to install Flash and USB ports, and brushed third-party firmware for offline download. The author started the pole routing, belonging to the “third and third batch of engineering machine users”, in fact, the first time this route was just launched, I have already been tempted, but there is no impulse to buy immediately, because I have a run at that time. OpenWRT's wireless routing, just brushed the new firmware, the operation is very stable, and can be dialed, so I do not intend to spend 199 to try this new product. Later, because of some things in Henan for a period of time, a collective dormitory, less than 10 people, a buddy with a Taiwan machine pulled a 4M Unicom broadband, he said he has wireless routing, but will not set. It turned out to be a FAST brand wireless router, the same as my home model, but the version is high, so I can't brush OpenWRT. Setting up routing is not difficult. I quickly connected both the laptop and the Android phone to WIFI, but after a few days of use, I found that this wireless route is not very powerful: First, the signal is weak. Wireless routing and my laptop are in the same room, the signal is not full! Secondly, the network is unstable. I don't know if China Unicom's network is not strong. It is also a long time for this route to eat. It often has basic web browsing. It may also be due to the weather, it has entered the summer, and perhaps the route is also related to the weather. In short, I decided to change the route, and then I remembered HiWiFi, just in stock, and the information on the web page told me that if I don't start, I will be snatched by others. OK, place an order, go SF, this time its price is already 2XX. Ok, finally, I’m going to start the topic … first impressions. Other people’s out-of-box photos, evaluation posts, and official introductions tell me that this is an unusual, bright wireless route. In fact, it is. First of all, the packaging is very powerful, very weighty carton. I saw a lot of such packaging around this year: Xiaomi mobile phone, iPad mini, and Xiaomi box … in short, the packaging of the force can leave very much A good first impression, although these packages will soon be carefully hidden in a corner of a moisture-proof, dust-proof and burglar-proof, will never be taken out. Then there is its metal casing. Whether it is watching or touching, it has a feeling. I have seen countless cats, routers, set-top boxes, and there is no such charm. It is small in size and can be placed on the desktop to make decorations. Its antenna is detachable and needs to be screwed up. Its network cable and power cable are flat and not easy to tie. Its power interface is USB, you can use notebook, mobile power Or the power supply of the mobile phone charger In summary, it is higher than the level of the FAST, TP and the like that I have used and used before! Simple setup This is one of its selling points, repeatedly mentioned in the official promotional materials. I set the route completely no problem, because reinstalling the system and brushing these "technical activities" is a piece of cake for me. It seems that there is no causal relationship, but as mentioned above, a buddy puts the wireless route to the bottom of the bed for a long time to eat ash, so there is no WIFI, so at the end of the month, I can only carefully let the mobile phone not exceed the traffic. If the routing settings are simple, perhaps there is no such annoyance. According to the instructions, the official login address is a 400XXXXXX.COM website. The previous number is actually their hotline. Anyway, I can't remember it. I prefer to use 192.168.199.1. The previous steps are the same as the traditional route: Plug the network cable into the router's WAN port; connect to the router wirelessly or by wire; open the browser and enter the login address; enter the user name and password, click to log in. When the login is successful, it is different.

see three eye-catching icons and numbers 1,2,3 yet? That's right, follow these three steps and you can enjoy WIFI. And the first time you log in, it will pop up a detailed list of settings, lively and detailed, anyone can understand. Here, the specific settings, and what happens to each icon point, I will not go into details, because it is really simple, the introduction is also very detailed, as long as your home network is no problem, then there will be no problem . When you log in, you don't need a username, just fill in the password, so I only need to remember the password to manage the route. This is a caring function. The default username and password for normal routing is admin/admin. Many people will modify them. I often encounter the situation: I forgot the username … or because of the redo system, Or because of the long time … in general, this situation can only be reset once after the toothpick has been reset.

intelligent routing in fact, the first time you log in, just steps 1-2 can open WIFI Internet access, but please do not forget to Step 3, this is the highlight of lies, I think it is worth the value here It is. The cloud plugin is where the app is installed. These apps can enhance your wireless routing, or bring extra features, and the operation is simple. Most apps click "Install" to use, don't want to use it, click &ldquo ; Uninstall & rdquo; can; individual need to configure the APP, such as QOS function, is to enter something, but not difficult.

that it highlights what is it? Please move official website .......

ah, in fact, I think the most useful features is the last one: blocking ads! It's really useful. Imagine that there are often small videos when you start microblogging. You can watch ads that are more than 30 seconds before you start, but sometimes even longer than video. Since the launch of this feature, the ad has disappeared, whether it is a computer, a pad or a mobile phone, it has been realized. As for the specific support for those websites, there has been no research, and the official has not said in detail, but basically the videos that can be played in Weibo can filter out the advertisements. By the way, there is no stable network, and there is no way to enjoy the wonderful video, so its function is not independent, but complement each other. This engineering machine is supported by "out of country acceleration", the official version is said to have removed this feature, and the official does not let discussion, but if you have similar needs, you can use other plug-ins, such as SSH, VPN, etc. … Br>
Remote Control Very simple, you can install the mobile version of the app, the official iOS and Android client, it is completely enough for me, and the operation of the client is as simple as this, the most troublesome thing here may be login If your username is more complicated, typing on your phone is not that easy.
The user name mentioned here is the user name of the extreme routing cloud platform. The specific usage method is described in detail in the background, which is probably the registered user name, and then binds the current route. This way you can manage your wireless routing with your phone from anywhere.

above features at a glance, & ldquo; currently connected device & rdquo; see if there is a strange device, if someone rub network decisively to kick off, if you are on the outside, but no one at home, then simply Set “Wireless Switch<quo; directly to off. “ Panel light switch & rdquo; What is it? If the pole route is placed in the bedroom, the panel lights will flash at night, then you just need to take out the phone and turn off the panel light. Although it is not an advanced feature, it is really practical and intimate. Simple upgrades Regular routers can also upgrade firmware, but usually go to the official website to download, then manually update, and there are risks. These firmware all claim to have modified the bug and what features have been enhanced, but in fact nothing. The update function of the polar route is another highlight. Specifically, once there is new firmware, it will prompt for an update. When you browse the web, a reminder will appear at the top of the page. And every time it is updated, it will bring new things, or new features, or new apps, not to mention bug fixes and stability enhancements. So I am happy to update it in the first place, and its upgrade is fully automatic and painless, except that the network will be interrupted for a few minutes. Stable operation On the one hand, it runs stably, never happened, “I can't go online,” and things like it haven’t happened. “The speed is a bit slow, restart the route.” This is thanks to my home. 8M Telecom broadband, by the way, I used the Unicom broadband I used in Henan, which is the legendary Henan Netcom, which actually limits the route, but the solution is very simple, special dialing can be. On the other hand, they are very wireless. I have a very small route in a small bedroom, separated from the study by two walls. The WIFI signal on the notebook is full, and there has never been a dropped line. The iPad mini, iTouch and Android phones are also very good. There is also a millet box in the living room, which is also separated by two walls, completely OK.

personal use summary concluded that, although its price is high, but overall it is the value. And I am an old user, often have official activities, such as sending medals, mugs (the first batch of engineering machines to send mobile phones, although only a Nokia), and then send Hi code and vouchers, I have recommended a friend to buy ... Caught in the official promotion, he only spent 99-20 = 79! Then, the new version of the polar route may add the following features: USB interface, offline download, multi-dial … … if the old user can redeem it is no better.
