With the rapid entry of 100M or even 100M broadband into the home, almost every household can now enjoy the convenience brought by 100M Internet speed. However, due to the difficulty of traditional routers penetrating walls, there has been a problem. In addition, some users have higher and higher Internet speed requirements for watching high-definition live broadcasts, binge-watching TV series, and playing mobile games at home. Obviously, ordinary routing can no longer effectively meet the requirements. They need to be able to run a full broadband, especially to ensure full speed everywhere in the house. Internet router. Then a high-quality router is particularly important at this time.
, as a well-established security network company, 360, recently launched the first combo router "360 Whole House Router·Sky Series". Compared with the dazzling array of competing products on the market, does the 360 whole-house routing signal have a stronger signal? Does it have more functions? Is it more intelligent? We started this evaluation with these questions.
1. Appearance
The packaging is still in the consistent style of 360. There is an introduction to product performance on the side and back, and there is also a lot of information. First of all, the configuration of the machine: It adopts Qualcomm DAKOTA platform quad-core CPU, 256MB DDR3 memory, supports IPV6, can provide 2.4GHz+5GHz dual-band frequency band, daisy chain star topology networking technology, and supports up to 256 devices. The size of the
mother machine is 285*90*90mm and weighs 380g. The slave machine is 200*90*90mm and weighs 240g. On the front of the fuselage is a green/orange/red three-color LED indicator light.
I believe many people will be fascinated by its simple appearance. The 360 Whole House Router·Mother-to-Zone Sky Dome Series abandons the traditional "external antenna" design and begins to have some home appliance design. The whole body is white, fresh and bright. Eye! Break through the traditional design and show the sense of home design.
More importantly, this simple design style leaves more space for home design. It can better show your fashion taste.
In terms of interfaces, the 360 Whole House Router · Mother-to-Gate Sky Dome Series provides 3 RJ45 network cable interfaces. One of its special features is "network port blind insertion", that is, the router no longer distinguishes between WAN and LAN, and adopts WAN/LAN adaptive. Plug the home network cable into any network port and you can access the Internet. You don't have to worry about people who don't know how to plug in the wrong network cable and unable to access the Internet.
The bottom of the fuselage is equipped with foot pads, heat dissipation holes, etc. There are a large number of heat dissipation holes. The heat will be discharged directly from the machine and will not rise back to the chip position. The heat dissipation effect is very good. The Colink button on the top can add new clone routes. There are two
12V 1A adapters, also in white, and equipped with a 1-meter network cable to facilitate the configuration of 360 whole-house routing.
2. How to connect to
Like most routers, the 360 Whole House Routing·Mother-to-Zone Sky Dome Series can also be set up on the web page or APP. Compared with the web page, the APP has complete functions and is suitable for later use. Here is a demonstration of the configuration process on the web page. Turn on the power and start up. First, find the 360 whole-house router in the wireless network. After connecting, enter: "luyou.360.cn" in the browser to enter the main interface.
When installing the network for the first time, you can select the first item "Set a new firewall". Manually selecting the Internet access method is the same as the settings of an ordinary router.
The second method is to transfer the configuration from the old router and change the router with one click. If you had a router before and the installer didn't know the network account, it would be troublesome to contact the operator to ask. In this case, you can use a network cable to connect to the WAN port of the old router, and the other end to any network port of the 360 whole-house router.
Choose to transfer the configuration from the old router, select the old router, and enter the old router WIFI password.
Follow the webpage prompts to directly synchronize all settings of the old route WIFI, which takes about 30 seconds.
includes the Internet account password and WIFI password, so that most wireless networks can be directly connected successfully without resetting, saving the time of querying the network account and password, which is a very convenient function. The setting of the sub-router is very simple. After the router is successfully set up, power on the sub-router and place it near the main router. Wait until the indicator light turns on. The whole process takes about one minute.
3. Network test
Next, test the wireless transmission rate and signal strength of the 360 Whole House Routing·Sub-Mother Installation Sky Dome series network speed.
The test site is a large flat-floor apartment with 157 square meters and three bedrooms, 18 meters long from east to west and 14 meters wide from north to south. 1 and 2 in the picture are respectively the placement positions of the master machine and . The router signal is a "circle". This circle is the approximate coverage area of the signal. The master machine is in the center of the circle and emits signals 360 degrees outward. The home uses 100M optical fiber. I will use the software on my mobile phone to monitor the test points one by one and obtain stable values.
test environment description
A point: The straight line distance from the east side of the routing to the kitchen balcony is 10 meters, separated by two load-bearing walls.
B point: The straight line distance from the route to the southwest corner of the south bedroom is 9 meters, separated by a load-bearing wall.
C point: The straight-line distance from the route to the bathroom in the northeast corner is 12 meters, separated by two brick walls.
In a 100M fiber optic network environment, the download rate at point A is 136.2Mbps, the upload rate is 32.3Mbps, and the delay is 27ms. The download rate at point B is 124Mbps, the upload rate is 31.9Mbps, and the latency is 27ms. The download rate of C is 126.3Mbps, the upload rate is 32Mbps, and the latency is 27ms.
Judging from the results, it can basically reach more than 120Mbps stably, while the previous router (100Mbps router) of a certain branch can only fluctuate between 50-70Mbps. As for the upload speed, the speed range of the three locations is similar and remains stable between 24-34Mbps, fully achieving 100M WIFI coverage throughout the house.
Let’s take a look at the delay effect of playing games while walking around the 360 whole-house routing network. After starting the game, walk from point A to point B to test the network stability in different areas and the signal strength of the whole house.
used the "Honor of Kings" game to experience it. The mobile phone used was an Apple 11, running at full frame of 60 frames. From point A to point B, three game delay tests and two WIFI signal power tests were performed during the process.
test results: No matter whether it is the 2.4G frequency band or the 5G frequency band, "Honor of Kings" did not experience any delay or lagging. The router delay basically remained between 10ms and 15ms, and the signal strength was full.
There were five or six devices on the network at the same time as the test. When walking around, the mobile phone WIFI automatically switched to the 360-degree whole-house routing WIFI, so that the signal of the router between A and B was -40dBm-55dBm respectively (the smaller the value, the better the signal. The same room can instantaneously fluctuate within 30dBm), which means that the signal is stable and there is no big fluctuation in dBm. There is no need to worry about game or video freezes.
When multiple devices are connected at the same time, the 360 whole-house routing and mother-in-box sky dome series perform very well.
I use 100M broadband at home. I turn on a desktop computer, iPad MINI, Xiaodu, a TV, and 2 mobile phones at the same time. When playing "Honor of Kings", the frame rate remains above 55FPS, and there is no lag. In this situation, the average download speed of files at the same time reaches about 14MB/S. Compared with the previous 3MB/S of a certain brand at home, it is really a little faster. There is no need to worry about the embarrassment of one person downloading before and the whole family has no Internet connection.
has passed several tests on the 360 whole-house routing and mother-in-law sky dome series. The 2.4G frequency band is still the 5G frequency band. There is basically no attenuation. All tested WIFI signals are full. This is worthy of recognition, especially within three walls. Playing games and watching videos are almost unaffected, and in terms of the 5G frequency band, the wall penetration performance of the 360 whole-house routing and sub-mounted sky dome series is obviously stronger.
4. Practical ecological APP
Next, test several main functions of the APP. The main interface of
has a built-in device binding function for family members (each person can bind multiple devices), and network management is performed on an individual basis. The interface can display each person's network usage status, such as when online and offline software usage time and malfunctions The interception of the website is very comprehensive.
1. Anti-addiction to children's games
For example, the child's mobile phone can directly turn on the child mode or student mode, so as to control the Internet time of the child's device, such as WeChat, Douyin , and limit the Internet time period of all entertainment projects and game movies. Through daily network reports, all children's online behaviors are under the remote control of parents, nipping children's bad problems in the bud.
2. Anti-fraud for the elderly online
If there are elderly people at home, you can also turn on the elderly mode or family mode. As the age increases, the elderly’s awareness of prevention is relatively weak. For example, when playing board and card games, they often encounter payment traps and cannot distinguish between phishing and fraud. website, after turning on the mode, it can automatically block most Trojans, phishing websites and paid traps, allowing the elderly to surf the Internet safely while avoiding unnecessary property losses.
Furthermore, through the mobile APP, you can check the guardian dynamics of the 360 whole-house routing and mother-in-law sky dome series, such as whether new devices have been added, effectively preventing network tampering. The dynamic information can also display reminders for family members to go out and come home to prevent children from being absent for a long time and the elderly from going out unexpectedly. Even if you are not at home, you can know their whereabouts for the first time. For three generations living together, this function is very useful Very human.
3. Intelligent hardware prevents peeping and eavesdropping
In public places, shopping malls, company offices, group rentals, and hotels, there may be a risk of being secretly photographed. The camera is hidden and cannot be detected, and personal privacy cannot be guaranteed. 360 whole-house routing·child-mother installation There is a camera detection in the Tianqiong series APP applet, which can detect all network cameras in the entire WIFI network, which can effectively protect personal privacy. There are many similar settings, such as topology map networking equipment, one-click speed test, Internet settings, firewall experience, firewall settings, etc. You can quickly set each function.
Conclusion
Through the game experience test, WIFI performance test, 5G network speed test and other aspects, we have a very detailed experience of the 360 whole house routing · mother-in-law sky dome series. Its performance can be said to be very outstanding. Especially the performance of 5G wall penetration allows us to get a very stable network experience. In terms of
ecology, the 360 whole-house routing and mother-in-law sky dome series APP can be said to be the ultimate. It makes professional network security functions visual and user-friendly, especially the whole-house protection function, so that people who do not understand the basics of the network can also deal with it. Ziru, for example, preventing online fraud for the elderly and preventing addiction to children's games are very useful functions at home. Even if you are not at home, you can know the status of your family's use of the Internet for the first time, especially for families with children and the elderly. 360 Full HouseRoad·Mother-in-Law Sky Dome Series gives us an extra sense of security.
