company has been upgraded from 100 megabytes to 300 megabytes. The previous 100 megabytes enterprise routing was a bit hindered. Based on the principle of maximizing resource utilization, we will upgrade the existing network equipment together to solve the problems of weak and slow network signals that everyone has been worried about. Of course, cost control must also be as in place as possible. After a horizontal comparison, the target will be locked as the Dandelion enterprise-level intelligent networking router X5.
This router has several points: 1. The network port is a true gigabit network port that is lightning-proof, and the speed and security of wired access devices are guaranteed; 2. Wireless support WiFi 6. Now many of my colleagues’ devices support WiFi 6, which is more stable and faster to use; 3. Support intelligent networking, which can achieve remote access and remote office work; 4. Support simple NAS, and connect to an idle USB drive to enable colleagues to remotely access files in the company. Let’s take a look at this router.
Dandelion X5's body size is 230*148*28mm. It adopts a four-antenna design, and four high-gain omnidirectional antennas that support horizontal 180° and vertical 90° adjustment are located on the back and both sides of the fuselage. Even if you choose to be placed on the desktop, the material package in the accessories still prepares wall-mounted accessories for users, which is a good review. The interface configuration of the
router is very particular. Not only is the WAN port equipped with a gigabit transmission protocol standard, but the four LAN ports are also a gigabit transmission protocol. It provides support for large-capacity intranet data transmission. The configured USB interface is not limited to the "existence" state, but supports the USB3.0 transmission protocol, providing the possibility for function expansion. In daily actual use, it is found that this interface is really a "treasure".
like the dual-core CPU, AX1800 wireless transmission rate, WiFi 6, 256MB memory, 2.4G\5G dual-band concurrency and other configurations owned by Dandelion X5 will not be repeated, let’s take a look at the user experience directly. Dandelion X5 supports multiple networking methods such as mobile app end and PC web end. The PC web end is selected here. After the network cable connection device is completed, use the PC web page to log in to the Dandelion Cloud Management Platform. The first login requires setting the management password.
Use the SN code and password exclusive to each Dandelion X5 to log in. Information such as SN code and password can be obtained from the bottom panel of Dandelion P5, and then bind the oray account according to the prompts on the Dandelion Cloud Management Platform page in turn and the settings are completed.
In addition to the basic network settings, you also need to focus on setting up "intelligent networking", which is related to the functions of " file sharing " and "intelligent cloud printing" in the subsequent use process. Select the "intelligent networking" module on the left side of the Dandelion Cloud Management Platform page. The three steps that need to be completed will be displayed on the right side. Please refer to the instructions to operate in sequence.
In the steps of adding members, you must add Dandelion X5 itself, otherwise you will not be able to realize various subsequent remote functions. A total of 3 software and hardware users can be added to the standard version of the oray account. For example, the Dandelion X5 just added is a hardware member, and the client of the mobile phone and computer is a software member. The extension function of
remote storage files made me disgusted with the previous single router function. Even without public IP, Dandelion X5's intelligent networking can achieve penetration of the intranet. You only need to add a USB or mobile hard drive to Dandelion X5 through the USB3.0 interface on the back of the body to realize the private cloud function and transform it into a simple NAS. Even if you are not in the company, you can read the information on the USB or mobile hard drive. It can be regarded as a low-cost and economical private cloud solution.
As for the question of whether you will pick the storage device, you don’t have to worry too much. As long as the storage device is FAT, NTFS, exFAT, Ext2, Ext3, Ext4 and the hard disk of the MBR partition can be recognized normally.
In the external environment of the company, after installing the "Dandelion" client application on the computer, logging in with the same account, the laptop used and the computer in the company form the virtual LAN , which can remotely access the files shared by Dandelion X5.
on the mobile app is as follows: Download and install the "Dandelion" app for the Android phone you are using, then click "+" in the upper right corner of the App "Resource Library", and then select the "samba" option in turn, fill in the IP address of the target host for the remote access file. After completing the operation, the mobile phone can also store and access the files shared by Dandelion X5.
mentioned above that Dandelion X5's USB3.0 interface is a "treasure" existence because it not only supports remote storage of files, but also because it supports connecting to local printer to realize printer sharing, turning the local printer into a cloud printer. The previous complicated remote printing, scanning and fax operations can be printed in one click in one go.
After a period of actual use, Dandelion X5 perfectly solved the network upgrade needs mentioned at the beginning, and gave NAS-like functions for remote storage. It also has rich and practical functions such as Peanut Shell domain name resolution and Sunflower remote boot. It is indeed a recommended choice for users with similar needs.
